Eddie Hearn has told talkSPORT that he has now changed his mind about who he thinks will win Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk.
The undisputed world heavyweight title fight is less than a month away, although some fans remain skeptical it will happen.
Fury vs Usyk has already been postponed once due to Fury being cut and boxing of course has an unpredictable nature.
However, when asked if he was sure the fight would go ahead, Hearn told talkSPORT Drive: “More sure than me of any normal fight because it’s already been postponed once.
“Honestly, I have no doubt that this fight will happen.
“People are wondering, ‘Was the outage real?’ This is the most ridiculous statement anyone can hear.
“The guy is making tens and tens and tens of millions and he’s been training away from his family for nine weeks, you don’t just decide to cut out your eye to get out of the fight. It’s ridiculous.”
Discussing his prediction, Hearn said: “I think [the postponement] will help Fury in terms of fitness, he looks in great shape.
“I saw a video of Usyk the other day, he looks in great shape.
“My choice goes back and forth. I went with Fury, now I’m with Usyk.
“But I want Fury to win the fight. I really believe the fight with AJ can happen if he wins.
“It’s a pure 50/50 fight, it’s one of the best fights you can have in boxing, it’s the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
“Four weeks you will see this fight, without a doubt.”
