Previously, Eddie Hearn was the promoter of Oleksandr Usyk
Frank Warrenco-promoter of the WBC champion Tyson Furyreacted to the words of the British promoter Eddie Hearnawho named the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk favorite in a possible unification fight.
Recall that Hearn said that in the Fury-Usyk fight, he would prefer the Ukrainian and called the possible fight “not very good to watch.”
“He said that Deontay Wilder would beat Tyson three times. He said we couldn’t sell tickets in America, but that broke the record for a heavyweight fight in Las Vegas. He said Dillian Whyte would beat Tyson and we wouldn’t make any money from that fight, but he broke the box office record at Wembley and our man won by knockout.”
“He said that Anthony Joshua knocked out Usyk twice. He even said that Canelo Alvarez would beat Dmitry Bivol. His boxing predictions are as good as Frankie Dettori (famous English jockey) has hemorrhoids. No matter what happens, after Joshua’s loss, Hearn’s boxers will no longer be in contention for the heavyweight championship.”
Recall that in 2018-20, Hearn was Usyk’s promoter.
The head of Top Rank, Bob Arum, said that the fight between Fury and Usyk could take place on February 11 or 18 in the Middle East – Saudi Arabia, Qatar or the United Arab Emirates.
Fury had previously instructed his promoters to inform the World Boxing Council that he was not going to vacate the title and retire.
Recall that Fury is demanding $ 500 million for a unification fight with Usyk. Fury also said that he gives a period of seven days to all interested people who want to organize his fight with Usyk. Otherwise, Tyson will not return to the ring.
Immediately after the rematch victory over Joshua Usyk called out WBC champion Tyson Fury to fight. Following the results of all twelve rounds, Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision of the judges.
