EDDIE HEARN accidentally revealed that he believes Anthony Joshua will be beaten by Oleksandr Uzyk in their rematch.
After losing unanimously to the Ukrainian in points last month, the British heavyweight lost his World Title belts.
Joshua was granted the chance to rematch immediately by a clause in their fight contract.
The 31-year old activated it last week and they are now set to face each other in March or April next.
Hearn, however, has admitted that he believes his client will lose again in a bizarre faux pas.
After Deontay Wilder's win, Usyk made the comment that Usyk would be taking over P4P king Tyson Fury.
DAZN was the first to hear his words: "Dillian Whyte vs Tyson Fury is an enormous fight here, massive fight.
"The build up would be perhaps as good as fighting, but Dillian Whyte is worthy of his shot.
"Victory over Otto Wallin, nobody could deny that shot at the world title of heavyweight."
"USYK WILL FIGHT FOR FURY"
"He has had Tyson Fury in two fights and he hates inactivity.
"AJ will fight Usyk March or April if he doesn't win, and Fury September or October if Usyk wins.
"It will be three fights within three years, let us get a little momentum."
After the gaffe, fans reacted with hysterics. Some claimed he meant it deeply while others thought it was a slip on the tongue.
One viewer commented: "Let's just hope it's mind games to make Usyk more confident haha. Still, it's a terrible look.
Another comment: "Freudian slip, I guess. He loves AJ as a great friendship but let's face it, Eddie must be disappointed.
He must be having a hard time selling this timid, scared version of AJ. He seems to have regressed in fighter since Ruiz 1, and he's so paranoid about hitting now.
