    An unlikely ally for Tyson Fury ahead of his heavyweight title fight against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh

    An unlikely ally for Tyson Fury ahead of his heavyweight title fight against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh


    Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has thrown his support behind the Gypsy King, picking the Englishman to claim the WBO, WBA and WBC belts.

    The pair haven't seen eye-to-eye in the past, due to the promoter's association with Fury's British rival Anthony Joshua.

    But Hearn admits Fury is capable of pulling off incredible feats.
