Eddie Hearn has hit back at Francis Ngannou following his claim.
"They come to the locker around 1 and Joshua ," he told Ariel Helwani. "I'm like, 'OK, we are fighting at the same time, how come I have a pickup time?'"We received a schedule, an email, and then for some reason I was there at least one hour before. But for the fight, at least two hours beforehand. They do this kind of trick to get you tired. I was like cool, I was like, 'Bro, it's OK'.
"There's a brilliant fighter down there in Tyson Fury. Please beat Oleksandr Usyk, because you will get the biggest fight of all time."
