The promoter of the British boxer Bob Arum spoke about the health of the WBC world champion.
Tyson Fury will be able to return to full preparation for the fight with Alexander Usik no earlier than a month. This was announced by the promoter of the British boxer, Bob Arum.
According to the functionary, the cut received by the WBC world champion was not too deep.
“The cut wasn’t that deep. He only needed 11 stitches. Usually if the cut is deep, 20-30 stitches will be put in. Tyson believes he needs a month for everything to heal. After that, he will be able to back to sparring.
I think if the scar tissue doesn’t affect him, he will come back quickly and take advantage of this opportunity. Remember what happened in the battle with Wallin. Then there is a deep wound. It didn’t take Fury long to come to his senses,” Arum was quoted as saying by Boxing Social.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight, scheduled for February 17, has been postponed to May 18. The fight will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s recall that earlier another Fury promoter, Frank Warren, called Usik a malingerer.
