Eddie Hearn Questions Fury's Performance
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has expressed concerns over Tyson Fury's recent performance against Francis Ngannou, stating that the Gypsy King may be in decline. Despite winning the fight by split decision, Fury struggled against the former UFC heavyweight champion and appeared to lack ideas throughout the match.
Fury's Next Challenge: Oleksandr Usyk
Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in February in a bid to become the undisputed king of the heavyweights. Hearn believes that if Fury is back to his best and fully focused, he will come out victorious in the unification fight.
A Change of Prediction
Hearn's current prediction for the Fury-Usyk fight contradicts his initial assessment, where he deemed the matchup a mismatch that no one wanted to see. Hearn now acknowledges Usyk as a formidable opponent.
Concerns Shared by Fury's Father
John Fury, Tyson's father, shares Hearn's concerns about his son's recent performances. He believes that Tyson needs more time to work on his conditioning and weight, as he noticed a decline in strength, power, and physical condition in his last three fights. John Fury also expressed puzzlement over the changes in Tyson's demeanor and body.
It remains to be seen if Tyson Fury can overcome these challenges and regain his peak form in time for his upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk.
