Eddie Hearn has weighed up whether boxing fans have already seen the best of Tyson Fury ahead of the Gypsy King's heavyweight rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury, 36, will face Usyk on Saturday night in at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. He will be seeking to bounce back from the first defeat of his professional career back in May, with Usyk winning their first showdown by a split decision verdict.

Usyk's victory saw the Ukrainian become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. This time around there will be three belts up for grabs, as Usyk has since vacated the IBF belt. Speaking exclusively to Mail Sport ahead of the rematch, Hearn considered the question of whether Fury's best days are now behind him.

Eddie Hearn weighed up whether fans have already seen the best of Tyson Fury. Fury will be aiming to bounce back from his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their fight back in May. The promoter highlighted Fury's fight against MMA star turned boxer Francis Ngannou prior to his first showdown with Usyk, as well as bouts with Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte.

‘Maybe, but I think we are also very quick to judge also,' Hearn told Mail Sport. ‘The problem is, before the Usyk fight was Ngannou and he really didn’t look great in that fight at all, but it was Ngannou and it was awkward, was he motivated?. 'Before that it was Chisora which was quite straightforward for him and before that it was Dillian Whyte. At some point it is going to catch up with you.
