NEWS: EDDIE HEARN: DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE TYSON FURY-ANTHONY JOSHUA IN THE SUMMER

As it currently stands, it appears as though the Heavyweight unification clash between world titlist Tyson Fury and multi-belt world champion Oleksandr Usyk could be in a bit of limbo.

According to reports, the biggest issue seems to unsurprisingly revolve around the financial split. Usyk, possessing the majority of titles in the division, believes he is due 50% of the split. Meanwhile, Fury, as the bigger star between the pair, believes he should receive the lion's share.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, when speaking to with iFL TV, admitted he's aware of whether Fury-Usyk will be made. However, Hearn claimed his charge, former world titlist Anthony Joshua, would be more than willing to step in and face Fury in the summer.

Naturally, Joshua would need to get beyond Jermaine Franklin on April 1, which will take place at the 02 Arena in London. Still, if successful against Franklin, Hearn claims Joshua would be ready to face Fury or even long-time verbal rival and former world titlist Deontay Wilder.

"‍If Usyk doesn't fight Fury, AJ will (be willing to) fight Fury next in the summer -- if he gets through Franklin. How about that? Stick that in your pipe and smoke it," Hearn expressed.

"I have no idea if Fury-Usyk is going to happen. But I'm telling you: We would take the Fury fight. He would take that fight, he would take the Wilder fight. He would take them all," said Hearn "So, don't be surprised to see [Fury-AJ] in the summer if [Fury-Usyk] don't happen."

It should be noted that this certainly isn't the first time the Fury-AJ has been floated by one side or the other. Equally, it should be stated that promoter Frank Warren, one of the men behind the career of Fury, has provisionally booked Wembley Stadium for late April, claiming Fury-Usyk is close to being finalized.
