Promoter Eddie Hearn is supporting Tyson Fury to win against Oleksandr Usyk by knockout in their upcoming match on Saturday, May 18th, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Hearn is rooting for Fury as a victory would pave the way for a potential blockbuster bout with Anthony Joshua later this year.
Hearn is of the opinion that a successful outcome for Fury against Usyk would not only benefit Joshua financially but also increase the likelihood of a much-anticipated showdown between Fury and Joshua in the near future. The financial rewards for Joshua from a fight with Fury are substantial, and Hearn is keen to see this fight materialize.
For Team Joshua, Fury’s triumph is crucial as it could lead to significant financial gains and an eagerly awaited clash between the two heavyweight champions. Hearn is optimistic that Fury can live up to his knockout prediction and emerge victorious against Usyk.
Despite having previously doubted Fury’s prospects in major fights, Hearn now believes that Fury has the potential to defeat Usyk if he adopts an aggressive approach with intelligent tactics. Hearn is positive about Fury’s chances and is hopeful to witness him securing a win in the upcoming faceoff.
