Eddie Hearn's Confident Prediction for Fury-Usyk Bout
Eddie Hearn, the renowned boxing promoter, has shared his emphatic prediction for the highly-anticipated undisputed heavyweight world title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. While the date for the bout in Saudi Arabia is yet to be confirmed, the majority of the boxing community leans towards 'The Gypsy King,' Fury, leveraging his physical advantages and adding Usyk's unified crown to his collection alongside the WBC belt.
During an interview with Mo Boxin’ Mo Problems, Hearn expressed his confidence in Fury's victory and his ability to outmaneuver the Ukrainian challenger. He stated, "I think Tyson Fury wins the fight. I think it’s a very tricky fight. I don’t think it’ll be the greatest fight you’ve ever watched, but I think it will be fascinating. But I think he will just be too good, he’ll mess around with Usyk and he’ll find a way."
The news of this undisputed heavyweight world title fight, the first since Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield in 1999, has generated significant excitement within the boxing community. It's a historic moment that many feared might never come to fruition, and it has reignited the conversation around Fury's commitment to facing Usyk.
Assuming Fury emerges unscathed from his exhibition match with MMA star Francis Ngannou later this month, the stage is set for this landmark event that will undoubtedly capture the attention of boxing fans worldwide.
