Initially, Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk was supposed to take place on February 17 this year. However, on February 2nd, Tyson Fury and Queensberry Promotions jointly released an official statement to inform the public that Fury sustained a “freak cut” above his right during a sparring session. And since the wound required “significant stitching,” it was informed that the fight was being postponed.

At this, while Fury apologized to everyone, team Usyk questioned the former’s professionalism. In fact, in an absurd statement, Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas alleged that Fury’s wife Paris Fury deliberately hit her husband with a pan to cut him open. Anyway, soon the fight had a new date. On that note, in his latest interview with The Stomping Ground, Fury updated the boxing world about his eye.

We didn’t have a date. But, as soon as we got the date two days later, it was fantastic. Yeah, everything’s good,” Tyson Fury concluded.
