Hearn: Fury looks ‘very old’
Eddie Hearn says Tyson Fury “It looks very oldduring media rehearsal this week, noting his age ahead of his rematch with WBA, WBC and WNO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KO) on Saturday, December 21 in Riyadh.
Although Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO) is only 36 years old, he looked to some fans like someone in his 50s or early 60s while preparing for his rematch with Usyk. It’s not just a beard. The punishment that both fighters received in their previous battle was harsh, but it seemed to have drained a lot of the Gypsy King, causing the ancient appearance to appear.
The physical state of anger
It’s Fury’s face and body. He looked well past his chronological age of 36, which could be a problem for him since Usyk hasn’t aged since their fight on May 18. He wants to eliminate Fury to eliminate him and prevent the referees from scoring him.
The promoter, Hearn, has no dog in this race and can tell it like it is. He says Fury “isn’t a young man anymore,” which takes it seriously.
“I know he’s got it all but I think Tyson looked old in training if I’m honest,” Eddie Hearn told BBC 5 Live Sport, referring to how Tyson Fury appears to have aged since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk. . On May 18. “He’s not young anymore.”
“He’s 36 years old,” Steve Pons said of Fury.
“He’s not a natural athlete. You won’t see him doing yoga and getting massages every day, like he takes complete care of himself,” Hearn said of Fury. “But he’s a natural fighter. This is the difference. It’s not a factory, but it’s not an athlete. “It doesn’t move like that.”
Lifestyle of the gypsy king
Fury’s habit of gaining weight between fights may contribute to his physical decline. British great Ricky Hatton used to get heavy between fights, putting on weight and then needing to take it off in training camp. His career may have been significantly shortened. He retired at 34, which is close to where Fury is.
“I think his body would break down faster than anyone who’s ever lived a full life,” Hearn said of the “Gypsy King.” “Usyk, I think he’s an athlete, and I think he might be able to hang on a little bit longer. Fury is like a fighter with instinct and impulsiveness and that’s what makes him dangerous.
“It doesn’t look like he should be good, but he’s really good because he’s been fighting since he was a kid,” Hearn said of Fury.
