Matchroom Promoter, Eddie Hearn, has applauded the efforts of both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for finally agreeing to a deal that will see the first undisputed heavyweight title clash of the four-belt era. However, the promoter anticipates that the fight itself will underwhelm.
Fury and Usyk were linked to a bout with one another throughout at the beginning of this year, but, to the disappointment of fans, the showdown failed to materialise.
Now, in an out-of-the-blue announcement, it seems that the two champions are set to finally face one another in boxing’s most beckoned-for bout.
In an interview with Seconds Out, Hearn picked his winner ahead of the spectacle, which he believes to be ‘great for the sport’ but a ‘stinker’ for the viewers.
Fury-Usyk will supposedly take place as early as December 23 or in early 2024. It’s said that the official date will be announced following the Brit’s crossover clash with MMA star, Francis Ngannou
