Eddie Hearn in an interview with Piers Morgan commented on the decision Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) fight former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (0-0, 0 KOs). The fight is scheduled for October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
“Fury pulled out of the Usyk fight, the most important fight in boxing right now, to face an MMA fighter who has never fought in a boxing ring in his life. Let's be honest, Fury only cares about one thing - money, ”said the head of Matchroom Boxing, according to whom the resume of the Gypsy King still lacks clashes with two rivals.
“He defeated Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder - these are his victories. He needs to beat Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua now and then we can talk about him as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time,” Hearn added.
