Prominent functionary Bob Arum believes that his client is the injured party and needs to be understood and forgiven.
Bob Arum was not satisfied with the statements of Alexander Usik’s team about the Briton’s injury, which caused the fight for the title of absolute world champion to be postponed again.
The famous American functionary believes that his ward does not deserve to be criticized for the cut he received, because it happens in boxing and no one is immune from it.
“A professional fighter like Tyson Fury is cut in training. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens. And when the other side doubts, despite the fact that the fighter has spent a lot of time preparing for the fight, that had to postpone, no wonder it hurt Fury, and it would hurt me.
Why is it always like this in boxing, when a bad injury happens, the other side opens their mouth like it’s the fault of the fighter who received it? This is pointless. We need to improve boxing. And Egis Klimas, a great guy and my friend, should be well aware of this,” Arum told Pro Boxing Fans.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury was supposed to take place on February 17, but it was postponed due to the cut the Briton received during sparring. The match is scheduled for May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
Fury has previously said he has no intention of retiring, but plans to have a few more fights.
