Joshua asked to pull out of fight

NEWS SERVICES

Anthony Joshua has received an offer to pull out of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk to allow the Ukrainian to fight Tyson Fury for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion, his promoter said Wednesday. Eddie Hearn said it might make sense for Joshua to agree to step aside and then fight the winner of Usyk-fury. Hearn didn’t reveal the value of the offer but said it’s ultimately Joshua’s decision.
