The Chinese boxer advised his British colleague to be more careful in sparring in the future.
Zhang Zhilei shares his thoughts on the continuation of WBC champion Tyson Fury after the cut.
The holder of the interim WBO super heavyweight belt believes that the Briton should have enough time to fully get in condition for the fight with Alexander Usik on May 18. At the same time, the Chinese super heavyweight advised his colleague to approach sparring more carefully in the future.
“It’s hard to say how this cut will affect the outcome of the fight. Every fighter heals wounds differently. It really depends on the person.
However, Tyson had plenty of time to recover. I think there will still be time for sparring. If I were him, I would be careful in choosing sparring partners. We need trustworthy and understanding fighters,” ProBox TV quoted Zhilley as saying.
Fury’s promoter previously said when the Briton would be able to resume sparring after the cut.
