And promoter Hearn was asked on Instagram whether Joshua would trade his career for Fury’s.
Hearn responded: “Fury key wins – Klitschko, Wilder, Whyte, Chisora.. Wallin?
“AJ key wins – Klitschko, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, Ruiz, Pulev.”
Hearn last summer led talks for Fury, 33, and Joshua, 32, to fight for the undisputed title.

But a US arbitrator ruled that the Gypsy King owed Wilder, 36, a third fight, which the American lost in October.
A month beforehand, AJ was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk, 35, leading to an expected rematch this summer.
Hearn is still confident Joshua has the beating of old rival Fury, but has to avenge defeat to Usyk.
He posted: “Always believed he can – need to take care of Usyk first!”
