Hearn told Matchroom Boxing: "I think belts are going to become vacant over the next six-12 months. They always are when there's an undisputed champion.

"So now it's about positioning yourself, Dillian Whyte, AJ of course, into a shot at the world heavyweight title.

"AJ could be fighting the winner of Wilder - Ruiz for the WBC world heavyweight title, could be fighting Filip Hrgovic.

"Dillian Whyte could be fighting Joe Joyce for the WBO world title. There's all kinds of eventualities.

"But the pressure will come from the mandatories, that's just natural when there's a unified and in this case potentially undisputed champion."
