Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury on Suffering Severe Cut, Delay To Usyk Fight: I am Absolutely Devastated

[Toffee]

Anybody saying Fury would lose due to a meaningless sparring video is a moron

He got his face ripped in two by a middleweight.

That's absolutely significant.

Usyk will wait on Fury and even risk Ibf to strip him.

He needs Fury for his retirement money. Usyk knows he can lose to other guys also, but he won't make such a huge money with them

Usyk - Fury is all hype, but they both need this.

Heavyweight boxing will become a wasteland with **** like this

What am I supposed to be mad or happy about? It's only undisputed but the two fighters, one is a walking bag of lies with a bad eye and the other is a fraud who lost a division. Don't care for either one of them. If I'm the Saudis that promos comes from their purses.

maybe its genuine but he has cried wolf too many times, never seemed that keen on fighting usyk and even after it was signed most people were just waiting for something like this

[low blows]

elbows penetrate head gear do they? let alone tear flesh

It was an uppercut that missed the target. As a kid I got in enough school yard scraps and an elbow is a mean weapon. Watch early UFC fights to see what they can do...

'If they were going to make up an injury a cut would be the last option, especially above the eye.The obsession with ducking by fans is kind of sad, I’ve been around boxers all my life, at this level, no boxers duck, none, promoters and managers duck, boxers box'.

We're not exactly saying Fury ducked Uyk since the fight has been postponed. We're saying Fury created this cut to escape fighting Usyk when he wasn't ready & had been battered in sparring by Jai Opoteia. This gives him 3 more months to physically & mentally get into shape, if he still can.

Saying no boxer would willingly get cut over their eye would be true of a boxer at the beginning or middle of their career, but Fury is at the end of his career. If he beats Usyk he may have one more fight v Joshua. If he loses to Usyk there won't be any more fights. If Fury knows he can't be ready to fight Usyk in March then suffering a cut eye to give himself a chance is a no-brainer. Even Fury knows that if he'd tried to claim a pulled muscle or slipped disc everyone in the sport would've known it was a feeble excuse.

If they were going to make up an excuse for taking PEDS - eating uncastrated wild boar from a butcher who later said he had never sold wild boar, is also the last option.

The only reason he got off so lightly was because he threatened to bankrupt the British board of boxing in court fees.

People just believe Fury again and again... Even his trainer confirmed he was lying when fury said he wanted that first Usyk fight on Twitter.

When has any boxer been cut that badly in sparring with head guards?? Everyone knows you have to play it safe to a certain extent before big fights. (esp 2 weeks before!) The one time it happened to Fury was when he needed more time...

They said he had been getting his ass kicked on a regular in sparring, now we see!

The uncastrated boar testicles excuse is a bit bollocks
