After seeing Fury's condition Hearn was quoted by Give Me Sport as he said to AJ:

“I think before he goes into any main camp he doesn’t look like AJ, ever.
“I said to AJ the other day, ‘Did you see Fury jumping in the sea? He looked like me!’
"The response from AJ was, ‘We’re gonna get the best Tyson Fury, so I don’t care if he’s carrying a bit of extra weight now, I’m training for the best ever Tyson Fury.'
“And, make no mistake, Fury will be in top shape for this fight."

Joshua scored a ninth-round knockout over Kubrat Pulev while Fury is yet to step into the squared circle since he defeated Deontay Wilder in the early months of 2020.
