"It's not a fight that people are crying for; the one they're crying for is Joshua-Wilder and we must make it happen."
Hearn's highest profile fighter, Anthony Joshua, was initially in talks to fight Wilder in a bout which would decide the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis but negotiations fell apart.
Fury pounced at the chance to add the WBC belt to his collection but Hearn doubts that the Brit will manage to wrest the title away from Wilder.
"He's not fit, he's not ready but it's happening," Hearn added.
"The only way Fury can beat Deontay Wilder is just to bore him to sleep, just to hold him and frustrate him.
"He can't knock Deontay Wilder out."
Fury has responded to Hearn's criticism by releasing a private email from the head of Matchroom Boxing last November which contained a serious offer.

Hearn proposed a three-fight deal which would have seen Fury earn £3 million for the first bout but Fury opted to join Warren's stable and has made £5 million from each of his two fights this year.
So it's safe to say that he doesn't regret his decision.Explore more on these topics:
