Looks bad tbf to him but I always had a feeling this fight wouldn't be happening in Feb.

That looks a nasty looking cut, fair enough he can't fight till it's fully healed.

My immediate thought was he knew he wasn’t sharp enough and wanted more time but have to give him benefit of the doubt looking at that
It’s a bad one

Do boxers still spar so close to a fight?

They do when they want to pull out.

I was expecting this to happen and am not in the least bit surprised. Tyson “the avoider “ Fury. I expect another Chisora fight in the summer

He's not ready for Usyk yet and will have to put himself through his most intense camp to date, to be

The Big Dosser bottled it, shit himself.

Torn on this.
Half of me saying it's a genuine injury that often happens in training and given Furys preponderance to cuts (eg Wallin fight) nothing sinister about it.
The other half says he's a bigger duck than Donald and he's waiting for someone to soften up Usyk before he risks fighting him.

Could they have done that themselves, a nice little nick from a blade then get somebody to punch him,
Why else would you risk getting hurt or cut with only 2 weeks to the fight? in the video the gloves are off Tyson did not look himself and is normally mouthy and full of it giving the big I am,

as some on here have said, maybe he knew he could be not in the right shape and took the easy way out,
the Promoters will be shitting themselves and a lot of money would have already been handed out, Also the fighting fans who have been booking hotels flights could be out of pocket

It does not look good on Tyson's part after the last fight with Ngannou who knocked him down and won the fight in the eyes of many people, Eddie Hearn will be all over this and rightly so

Harsh on Fury. Beating Klitschko was a huge boxing upset and he hardly ducked Wilder.

He’s said some bad things but Paris said she’d not be married to him if he genuinely believed that stuff. She comes across as a great girl.
