As the most eagerly anticipated heavyweight matchups in boxing history await on December 21, 2025, in the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, the excitement surrounding Tyson Fury Vs. Oleksandr Usyk 2 continues to build with each passing day. This clash isn’t just about titles, but also about legacy, pride, and proving who truly rules the heavyweight division. The stakes have never been higher, and along with the thrilling prospect of this historic showdown, a wave of exciting updates and breaking news are keeping the fans on the edge of their seats.

Beyond the Usyk-Fury fight itself, Eddie Hearn recently hinted at an exciting topic of conversation that could come up during the broadcast. Hearn, who has long been a prominent figure in the boxing world is not known to shy away from making bold statements. This time again he did not fail to bring his involvement into the massive heavyweight showdown.

Eddie Hearn declares he aims to bring an unfiltered and controversial viewpoint to the broadcast team for Fury vs Usyk 2

An exclusive Instagram post by The Stomping Ground, shared a clip of Eddie Hearn where he was seen interviewed regarding joining the DAZN broadcast team for the Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Tyson Fury 2 fight. The caption reads, “I will be controversial! Eddie Hearn has announced that he will join the DAZN broadcasting team for Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Tyson Fury 2, promising viewers raw, unfiltered, and controversial content that fans have been waiting for!”

During the conversation, Eddie Hearn revealed that he had been approached by DAZN executives to participate in the presentation team for the Usyk-Fury fight. However, Hearn’s reaction to the request did not amount to a typical response. As the head of Matchroom Boxing, Hearn felt that his credentials were being overlooked.

He expressed his displeasure with the network’s initial attempts to include other “major names” for the event. The 45-year-old made it clear that, in his view, no bigger name for the broadcast team existed than himself. He quipped, “Not being funny, but who is a bigger name for the broadcast team than me? No one.”

Despite having no fighter in the main event, Eddie Hearn decided to join the broadcast team to provide an entertaining perspective on the fight to the viewers. According to Hearn, a lack of a personal stake allows him to be unbiased. “I will give it to you raw. I will tell you the truth. I will be controversial. I will be highly, highly patriotic for our man, Tyson Fury,” revealed the Matchroom Boxing chairman.

Beyond the Usyk-Fury rivalry, Eddie Hearn also hinted at another exciting possibility that could capture the boxing world’s attention. A potential Anthony Joshua showdown. As AJ’s promoter, Hearn has long championed the idea of the two British heavyweights facing off and sees the Usyk-Fury 2 fight as another stepping stone towards making that dream match a reality.

AJ’s road to redemption

Why is the AJ vs. Fury fight so necessary? For one, it would be a monumental clash of two of the UK’s biggest sporting icons. More importantly, it would give Anthony Joshua the chance to reclaim his position as one of the top heavyweights in the world. After his back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022, Anthony Joshua needs a high-profile win to climb back into title contention. A fight with Fury would not only elevate Joshua’s rank but also reignite his career in front of a global audience. And for Tyson Fury, the Anthony Joshua fight has long been seen as the final piece to cement his legacy in the sport.

As the clock ticks down to Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2, Eddie Hearn’s involvement in the broadcast adds a thrilling element to the event. His unfiltered, bold commentary will ensure that the buildup to the fight is just as exciting as the fight itself. And with Hearn’s hints at a potential Fury-Joshua clash, the future of heavyweight boxing is looking brighter than ever.

The world is watching, and the questions remain: Will Usyk continue his dominance, or can Fury prove he’s the best? And most importantly, when will we finally see Fury vs. Joshua?
