Eddie Hearn has told Tyson Fury that he will have to come out of retirement in the next few weeks if a summer bout against Anthony Joshua is to be agreed.

Eddie Hearn has set a tight deadline for Tyson Fury to end his latest retirement if a highly anticipated summer clash with Anthony Joshua is to materialise. The Matchroom Boxing promoter insists Fury must return within "the next three or four weeks" for the potential blockbuster bout to proceed.

Hearn previously disclosed that he reserved dates with Wembley Stadium for May or June to stage the bout, but the window for such a large-scale promotion is closing.
