 Frank Warren has criticised Eddie Hearn for telling Sportsmail that Anthony Joshua could fight Tyson Fury this year.

Warren said his comments were 'b*****s' and that the two parties had only spoken for '30 seconds'.

It comes after Hearn said that the two Brits could face off in the next few months if Joshua wins his fight against Jermaine Franklin this weekend.

'I truly believe that as long as AJ beats Franklin we will see him against Fury in the summer,' he told Sportsmail earlier this week.

He also touched on the financial issues that forced Fury's planned fight with Oleksandr Usyk off and ensured that would not be an issue as 'everyone accepts that AJ is a bigger draw for the UK fans than Oleksandr.'
