Hearn reacted to Joshua's words that Fury will never beat Usyk in a rematch

Eddie Hearn, promoter of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, commented on his ward's statement that there is no way Tyson Fury can beat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch.

"I consider Usyk a big favorite, but you don't know what these fights take away from the fighters. After the Fury fight, Usyk was exhausted. He literally had to be dragged to the locker room. And certainly Fury took damage, especially in the ninth round.

We don't really know what's going to happen. To me Usyk seems the favorite, but I think Fury can win," said Hearn in an interview with YouTube channel Pro Boxing Fans.

Recall that the rematch of Usyk with Fury will take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Their first fight took place in May and ended with the victory of Alexander by a split decision of judges.
