Hearn named the favorite for Usyk-Fury rematch

Renowned British promoter Eddie Hearn shares his predictions for the upcoming rematch between his compatriot Tyson Fury and unified heavyweight world champion Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

"I think you have to give preference to Usyk, but you can't write off Fury either. The first fight was close. When the final gong sounded, I felt that Usyk had turned the tide, but at the same time I couldn't give the victory to anyone. I didn't know who won. In such an even fight, the decision can be unpredictable.

It was a split decision, but Fury will be better in the rematch. Still, it's very difficult to beat Alexander if he has already beaten you once," said Hearn.

Recall that the rematch of Usyk and Fury is scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
