Eddie Hearn has told talkSPORT that he’s now changed his mind about who he believes will win Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.
The undisputed heavyweight world title fight is under a month away, though some fans are still sceptical about whether it will happen.
Fury vs Usyk has already been postponed once due to a cut to Fury and boxing of course has an unpredictable nature.
However, when asked how sure he is that the fight will happen, Hearn told talkSPORT Drive: “More sure than I am about any normal fight because it’s already been postponed once.
“Honestly, I have no doubt this fight happens.
“People talk about, ‘Was the cut real?’ It’s the most ridiculous statement you could ever hear.
“The guy’s making tens and tens and tens of millions and he’s been training away from his family for nine weeks, you don’t just decide to cut your eye to get you out of the fight. It’s ridiculous.”
Discussing his prediction, Hearn said: “I think it [the postponement] is gonna help Fury in terms of his fitness, he looks in great shape.
“I saw a video of Usyk the other day, he looks in tremendous shape.
“My pick’s going backwards and forwards. I went with Fury, now I’m with Usyk.
“But I want Fury to win the fight. I really believe the fight with AJ can happen if he wins.
“It’s a pure 50/50 fight, it’s one of the best fights that can be made in boxing, it’s the undisputed heavyweight world championship.
“Four weeks – you will see that fight, without a doubt.”
