TYSON FURY has hit back at Eddie Hearn and has threatned to reveal the “proof” which claims he has offered Anthony Joshua a scrap.
Hearn admitted on Friday that a fight between Joshua and Fury is “only a phone call away”.
Joshua’s promoter Hearn revealed: “So, if Tyson Fury wants a fight with Anthony Joshua, it is only a phone call away. He likes to tweet about it rather than talk about it, say over a table.
But former heavyweight champ Fury has laughed off Hearn’s claims and says he is “talking s***.”
The 29-year-old wrote on Twitter: “@EddieHearn what are you talking about I offered you & @anthonyfjoshua the fight many times but u keep saying no! I have the proof & you know it, talking s***!”
Fury will get his long-awaited shot at the undefeated Brit according to newly-appointed promoter Frank Warren.
Speaking to ESPN, Warren said: “I’m going to be working with Fury.
“He asked me to announce a fight in April and that’s what we’re working on, a defence of his Ring belt.

“It’s exciting and it’s good to get him back in the ring. He’s gone through so much stuff. Now it’s time to go forward. Why would working with me stop the Joshua fight from happening?
“BT Sport and Sky Sports could share it, or whoever comes up with the right money gets it. Who says Anthony Joshua could be with Matchroom in seven months’ time? His contract expires soon.”
