Famous British promoter Eddie Hearn shared his forecast for the upcoming fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between his compatriot Tyson Fury and Ukrainian Alexander Usik, which will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
“I think Fury will win. It all depends on what conclusions he draws after the fight with Ngannou. We have to find out whether this was a serious underestimation of the opponent or signs of a decline. If the second option, then he will have a very difficult night with Usyk.
I still think Fury will be too big for Alexander. If he is involved in the training process properly, he will win, but Usyk still cannot be written off. Either way, this is a great fight. Another large-scale event in Saudi Arabia. Both guys are excellent heavyweights and are excellent candidates for the fight for the title of absolute champion,” Boxing Scene quotes Hearn as saying.
