The Briton was injured in training
WBC world heavyweight champion cutman Tyson Fury Jorge Capetillo spoke about the recovery time for his ward after a cut he received in training, which caused the fight against the holder of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles to fall through Alexandra Usik.
“I would say it would take at least 90 days to recover from a cut like that. I hope the fight will take place in the summer. This is very sad news. The wound must heal and only after that Tyson will return to duty, begin training and resume training camp. The recovery process will last at least several months.
Accidents can happen during sparring and this is what happened to Tyson, so he will need time to recover. Now the wound could open again during the fight if they decide to go through with it, so now he needs a time out to make sure the wound doesn’t open from the first punch from Oleksandr Usyk.”,” Capetillo said.
Fury was reportedly injured during sparring. The Briton’s injury required stitches, due to which Tyson does not have time to recover by the date of the fight with Usyk on February 17.
Let us remind you that the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion was supposed to take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The special guest of the event was Lennox Lewis. The undercard featured fights between former IBF cruiserweight world champion Jay Opetai, 19-year-old Moses Itauma and IBF super featherweight world champion Joe Cordina.
