“Talk about how good he is, and I mean, people are feeding him with lines, but he’s still saying, ‘I will stop him. Yes, I am the best. Yes, I am.’ You know, and I’ve not really seen that before,” Hearn said. “So now Fury looks calm, he looks fear… I’m changing my mind. I’m going to go for Tyson Fury. And I just feel like this fight is about extraordinary things. Usyk always does extraordinary things, but every now and again, Fury is capable of the most remarkable things.”

Clearly, Hearn has a lot of faith in how Fury will respond to the first defeat of his career.
