Fury Has No Choice But To Face Usyk Again, Hearn Says

Promoter Eddie Hearn says Tyson Fury has no choice but to take a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk immediately after losing to him last Saturday night. Hearn sees Fury as having only one option: Take a rematch.

It's hard for Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) the former WBC heavyweight champion to walk away from it, given the impression that the referee, Mark Nelson, saved him in the ninth round and he looks like an adult. grandfather trying to keep up with the grandchildren.

The Gypsy King's Reputation in Tatters

If Fury retires, he will be disappointed to have lost to a much smaller fighter than him, whom he called a middleweight.

Another option is for Fury to take Hearn out of his deal to face Anthony Joshua next, but that would make the King of Gypsies look like a greedy, money-grubbing, over-the-top fighter, reinforcing the perception that fans have of him. that he is always looking for money.

If Fury loses a rematch to Usyk, that would be on him. Fighting Joshua after back-to-back losses will make Fury look gray. The only way fans can respect a Joshua-Fury fight would be if Fury avenges his loss to Usyk or defeats a series of other top fighters to prove himself worthy of a fight with Joshua.

Usyk Rematch: The only way out

“As I want AJ to fight the winner of that fight, the rematch is great,” said promoter Eddie Hearn on Boxing Social about the rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, saying that the king of the Gypsies now wants him.

“Both of them have already signed up for it. I'm sure the loser should be used, but Fury should take that rematch immediately. Can he hit her again? Who knows?

“Those kinds of fights take a lot out of a fighter. Tyson Fury was completely absent in the ninth. His recovery power is very strong because when he went back to his corner, everybody said, 'It's over,' and he came out for the tenth time, not as a new person, but he was very well. So much respect to him.

“Yes, you should want to give that back. But Usyk was gone when he finished the fight. Not as in pain, but tired. “In order to win that fight, he had to fight at breakneck speed,” said Hearn.
