Fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between Tyson Fury And Alexandre Usik postponed due to the Briton’s injury, Queensberry’s promotion company said in a statement.
The fight was scheduled to take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
— WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was forced to postpone his fight with WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk after being seriously injured during a fight in Riyadh.
The cut above Fury’s right eye required urgent medical attention and a large number of stitches and will obviously require a recovery period, negating any possibility of a fight with Usyk on February 17 in Saudi Arabia, says the communicated.
The British boxer apologized for the situation.
“I am absolutely devastated because I have been preparing for this fight for a long time and I was in excellent condition. My heart goes out to everyone involved in this huge event and I will work hard to make the fight happen as soon as the eye heals.
“I can only apologize to everyone involved, including my own team, Usyk’s team, the undercard fighters, partners and fans, as well as my friends in Saudi Arabia,” Fury said. .
