Hearn: Fury will have to fight dirty to beat Usyk with confidence

Well-known British promoter Eddie Hearn spoke out about the recently announced fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion between his compatriot Tyson Fury and Ukrainian Alexander Usik.

It was previously announced that the fight would take place on December 23 or January in Saudi Arabia.

“This fight will take place primarily for money, and I believe that it will take place. But I'm not sure it's good for the sport.

I see Tyson winning and consider him the favorite, although Usyk is completely fine and he will show himself. I think Fury's size will play a role, and I think it's going to be a dirty fight. Tyson may have to fight dirty to secure a landslide victory. This is a competitive fight, and I’ll bet on Tyson,” Hearn said in an interview with the Seconds Out YouTube channel.
