As a result, Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk will not be taking place on February 17th as earlier planned. On that note, as Tyson Fury discussed his injury in a social-media post, team Oleksandr Usyk insulted ‘The Gypsy King’. Here is what they said.

Following the “freak cut” during the sparring session, Tyson Fury claimed to be devastated. Likewise, he apologized to “everyone affected“. In addition, ‘The Gypsy King’ promised that he will diligently work towards the rescheduled date once his eye is healed. However, Egis Klimas, Oleksandr Usyk’s manager thinks since Fury does not want to face Usyk, ‘The Gypsy King’ had his wife “hit him with a frying pan in his brow“. Likewise, Klimas also called Fury a coward.

On the other hand, when Fury took to Instagram and shared a photo of himself regretting his injury, Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk sprinkled salt on Fury’s wound.
