Previously, Hearn had given Fury more of a chance in this confrontation, but after the Briton’s unconvincing performance in the fight with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, he changed his mind.
“Will Usyk win? Maybe yes. I always gave preference to Fury in their fight, but only slightly. Usyk is not a big puncher and that's great news for Fury, but we don't know how the last fight will affect their confidence.
Still, we must admit that Tyson can come back stronger. He's made mistakes many times already, but I think Usyk's confidence after Fury's last fight is off the charts. Now I consider Alexander the favorite,” Boxing News 24 quotes the Briton.
Let us remind you that on October 28, Fury barely defeated Ngannou by split decision, having been knocked down during the fight.
