Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 is just days away, set to take place this Saturday as the premier boxing card of the weekend. Ahead of the event, promoters Eddie Hearn and Frankie Warren took part in a photoshoot to commemorate the buildup to the blockbuster fight.
Both Hearn and Warren have a healthy sense of competition with each other, and they seemed to share a fairly amicable meeting as the Usyk vs. Fury rematch approaches. The entire boxing world will watch alongside them as the world's two best heavyweights compete for divisional supremacy once again.

Warren, of course, is Fury's promoter, while Hearn has a vested interest in seeing 'The Gypsy King' emerge victorious this Saturday, as it could lead to a thrilling bout with Anthony Joshua, which has long been the goal of British boxing. After all, an Usyk win would be undesirable for Hearn, given that he's already beaten Joshua.

Moreover, not only has he beaten Joshua, he has done so twice and even vacated the IBF heavyweight title, which was captured by Daniel Dubois, who the Ukranian star has also beaten and who knocked Joshua out cold in late September. So it is only sensible that Hearn will throw his support behind Fury.

Come Saturday, it will be anyone's fight to win, as the pair's first contest was a close split-decision in Usyk's favor. However, with a few adjustments, Fury could find himself the victor of the bout.
Oleksandr Usyk has faced nothing but British boxers since 2020
Not since 2019 has Oleksandr Usyk faced a non-English fighter. In late 2020, he took on Derek Chisora, outworking him to a unanimous decision win after 12 rounds. Thereafter, he faced British boxing star Anthony Joshua, twice beating him to enthrone himself as the heavyweight king.
Afterward, he faced Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury, knocking out the former and nearly doing the same to the latter. Fury, however, channeled his legendary toughness and survived to the end, losing via split-decision, much to his chagrin.
