Hearn voiced a pessimistic forecast for Fury for a rematch with Usyk

Prominent promoter Eddie Hearn has offered his forecast for the highly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for December 21.

Quote: "The Fury-Usyk rematch promises to be every bit as thrilling as their first fight.

If I’m being completely honest, I’d lean toward Fury. He’s a bit wild, his charisma and fighting style captivate the audience, and he’s always there to entertain. But if I were placing a bet, I might just find myself on the other side of the table,” [at the press conference, Hearn was seated at Tyson’s team’s table].

Usyk is incredibly difficult to beat, especially after sharing a ring with him once. In a fight, he carefully analyzes his opponent, figuring out exactly what adjustments are needed for success. In the first bout, Usyk made Fury backtrack—something Tyson has never done in heavyweight competition. Given Fury’s size, what Usyk achieved is truly remarkable,” Hearn told Ready to Fight.

Recall: Turki Al-Sheikh, advisor to Saudi Arabia’s Royal Court and current head of the General Entertainment Authority, recently announced the lineup of undercard bouts for the boxing night on December 21.

On Wednesday, October 23, the first press conference between Fury and Usyk took place ahead of their rematch.
