Eddie Hearn suggests a possible date for postponement and addresses conspiracy theory
According to Hearn, the cut does not look good. Therefore, he feels boxing fans may have to wait for 2-3 months to see Fury and Usyk share the ring. “Two weeks out. Probably, one of the last couple of spars for Tyson Fury. Looking at the cut, it doesn’t look like a pleasant cut. I think, April [or] May is a realistic kind of date for a postponement,” said Hearn. Along these lines, he addressed a conspiracy theory.

“To have a conspiracy theory, you would have to suggest that Tyson Fury has allowed someone to cut him open with a knife above his eye when he’s sparred, trained for seven weeks, and he’s making an absolute fortune to fight for the undisputed championship,” said Hearn.
