Eddie Hearn believes that the former world champion cannot be called the outstanding boxer of the 20th century.
Tyson Fury is not an outstanding boxer of our time, but only a victory over the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usik will make him. Well-known promoter Eddie Hearn thinks so.
According to the functionary, the former world champion has never defeated an elite representative of the heavyweight division except for Deontay Wilder. So these indicators are not enough to go down in history.
“If Tyson does not beat Usik, he will not be called the greatest boxer of his generation, he will be remembered as a great boxer of his time, as a champion from Britain in the heavyweight division, as a great personality, but far from. this, in my opinion as the most outstanding Because he could not cope with the competition.
Yes, he beat Deontay Wilder, but what other elite fighter did he outbox? That’s why winning is a must for him,” Hearn was quoted as saying by Boxing News 24/7.
We remind you that Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision and became the first absolute heavyweight champion since 1999. The rematch is scheduled for December 21st.
Previously, Fury named the reason behind the loss to Usik.
