Hearn: «Usyk Has Incredible Boxing IQ»

Promoter and Head of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn shared his prediction for the fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship (over 90.7 kg) between WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

«I’m sure both camps would prefer a knockout victory. But I think the fight will go the full 12 rounds. Tyson is capable of anything. I think he will box on the back foot. But as we saw in his second fight with Wilder, he can switch stances and fight on the front foot, fighting aggressively.

Does he have the power to stop Usyk? People say Usyk's weakness is his body. It's not that simple. This is a guy with incredible boxing IQ. Both fighters are fully prepared for this fight,» said Hearn.
