Hearn Puts In Context Usyk Achievement In Tyson Fury Rematch

Hearn Puts In Context Usyk Achievement In Tyson Fury Rematch

Oleksandr Usyk is the King of world boxing at the moment as undisputed heavyweight champion.

The one and only weight class that has no weight limits.

Speaking to IFL TV YouTube Hearn said:

“He has given up 50 pounds in that fight (in the Fury rematch). 50 pounds. You’re talking about a featherweight fighting a light-heavyweight in terms of weight disparity what he’s done. It’s phenomenal what he’s done. He’s a phenomenal fighter. He’s (Usyk) an all-time great.”

Indeed, the sheer weight disadvantage Usyk was makes for a stark reminder of the David vs Goliath type achievement it was.

What a year 2025 promises to be for Usyk and the heavyweight division as well.

Fury vs Joshua would be a massive fight if they can make it.
