Tyson Fury‘s big fight against Oleksandr Usyk on February 17 is a no-go. This happened due to a significant cut Fury suffered during training, requiring stitches.

Davies has come out to talk about the severe cut of Tyson Fury, and how he’s talked to his sources in Fury’s camp to extract more information. He believes that it is definitely not a stunt, and Fury’s injury is a real deal.

Gareth A. Davies reveals the insider information

A significant cut above Tyson Fury’s right eye has thrown a wrench into the much-anticipated fight. The injury demands extensive medical attention, leading to a prolonged recovery period. The setback is a massive disappointment after extensive efforts to bring this historic event to fruition. As doctors assess Fury’s eye, a clearer picture of the recovery timeline will emerge.

The stakeholders and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are committed to rescheduling the fight promptly, with updates on the developments to be communicated diligently. Moreover, in a conversation with Boxing King Media, Gareth A. Davies addressed the fans who believe Fury is finding a way to pull out from the fight. He said, “If no evidence was being put out there, then you would have a right to question it. But you might question how Fury’s mindset is, mentally, going into this. But I’ve been speaking to people in this camp for the last, well since he’s been in Camp. As I said my intel on the whole Jai Opetaia story, and all of that stuff, I was about to interview Jai Opetaia this week.“

Furthermore, he stated, “But that got pulled, believe it or not, but people will always speculate. It’s part of the fun, it’s part of the drama, it’s part of the opinionated sport that we’re a part of.” At the same time, Davies stated that there was no logical reason for Fury pulling out of this fight. And for that reason, he believes the cut is real. Moreover, he even speculated the reason behind his injury.

Davies advises ‘The Gypsy King’ to wear headgear while sparring

In the interview, Davies revealed that Fury usually refrains from wearing the headgear during his sparring sessions. However, the viral video of the sparring footage showcased Manchurian wearing the headgear. So, it could be possible that the reporter was somehow ill-informed. He stated that the injury happened because of the accidental head clash which happened for the first time in Fury’s case.

Davies stated, “I know it was an accidental head clash in sparring, he doesn’t wear a head guard when he spars. He doesn’t, I mean he hasn’t had this before. Maybe he should be wearing a head guard, we’re only, what are we, we’re two weeks out.” Despite the incorrect information, Davies showcased concern for the WBC titlist.

Not only this, the accidental head clash might be very brutal, since Fury sustained a cut above his eye, even though he was seen wearing a head guard. What are your thoughts about this? Tell us in the comments section.
