That happens in boxing," he said.  Warren also revealed he has never spoken to Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, and insists it will not be down to him what happens.  He continued: "It's not about his ego, it's about what the fighters want. It's not Hearn's decision on this. We've got a contractual position on this.  "There's no rematch clause (for Fury). Joshua does have to fight Pulev, he does have to fight Usyk- so all those obstacles would have to be overcome if we want to go straight to the Fury-Joshua fight. That's tough.

I think Tyson will do a job on him."   It has recently been reported that Fury wants to make Wilder an offer to skip a trilogy fight, but Wilder looks set to reject this , meaning any clash between Fury and Joshua is likely to be pushed back until November or December.
