Eddie Hearn Exasperated With Tyson Fury: “Put Us Out Of Our Misery.”

By: Sean Crose

Boxing has always been a sport of the mind, and few were better in it than there were a liter of weighty Tyson Fury. Although he is officially retired, the man is still renting for free in the minds of fans, analysts, fighters, and especially the promoter Anthony Joshua Eddie Hearn. Although neither Tyson nor Anthony Joshua are world champions, the fight between two high Englishmen would be a great thing for this sport, especially in Great Britain, where the fight would certainly take place. However, Hearn accuses fury of being fury, irritating the potential fight, but not to say anything specific.

“I feel that Tyson Fury is really a bit excited, right?” Hearn asked rhetorically. “I mean that we see Instagram on Instagram … Even today I left the press conference, went on Instagram, he is there with wrapping on 12 rounds of boxing. Why do you do this? What do you do? What do you do? You just intentionally play with our minds, or are you coming back?” Indeed, Hearn is now doing a favor for fury. “Just let us know,” he says. “Throw us out of our misery.”

If Fury somehow decides to return, Hearn will probably direct the date of the fall with Joshua. “Listen, AJ must have a miniature key hole in the elbow,” said Hearn. “He will come back. It is there, right? Let’s just do it.” As for Hearn, Fury and Joshua, it would be terrible not to meet in the ring. “When we talk about great fights,” said Hearn, “This fight is the biggest fight, not only in British boxing, on world boxing, for a mile. I just feel that it’s time. It’s a moment.”

Boxing fandom has been waiting for the fight of fury-yoshua for years. At some point, the fighters were set to fight for the unquestioned championship in the heavyweight of the world. Oleksandr Usyk put an end to this, defeating Fury, and then Joshua, twice to a piece. Despite this, there is a lot to like in Fury and Joshua, they finally slip between the ropes and threw.

“We are dependent on Tyson Fury,” said Hearn. “We are ready to leave, but of course it must feel comfortable. It must be for it … he is such and such a competition, and I just know that he will want to dance with Anthony Joshua. So vacuum these shoes and make it so that it happens.”

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
