The boxing world is well acquainted with the rivalry between Eddie Hearn and the heavyweight champ, Tyson Fury. Before Fury’s fight, Hearn often made predictions that ‘The Gypsy King’ would face a loss but every time Fury proved him wrong.
Now again when Fury is most likely to face the unified WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, Hearn has predicted the latter’s victory. However this time, it did not sit well with Fury’s promoter Frank Warren.

He roasted Matchroom Boxing’s Hearn. “He said Deontay Wilder would beat Tyson. Dillian Whyte would beat Tyson. Anthony Joshua would KO Usyk twice. His predictions are about as good as hemorrhoids would be for Frank Dettori”, Warren said.

There is no doubt that Hearn is very poor while making predictions about Fury’s fight.
The exchange between Hearn and Tyson Fury after Joshua’s loss
The highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua for the unified heavyweight title brought disappointment for both Joshua and his promoter Hearn.
Following this, the WBC heavyweight titlist took to social media to take a dig at both fighters. He labeled the contest as ‘One of the worst heavyweight title fights’.
Notably, Fury and Hearn are not on good terms since the talks for a fight between Fury and Joshua could not reach fruition. Since then, the exchange of verbal shots between the two are very common. In the process, whenever Fury’s fight is in the limelight, Hearn predicts the defeat of the champion.
