James Ali Bashir believes that the British world champion will not have time to recover by mid-May.
The fight between Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury will not be scheduled for mid-May. This is what the former coach of Ukrainian boxer James Ali Bashir said.
According to him, on the specified date, the wound received by the Briton in training will not have time to fully heal and the WBC champion may again receive a cut in the fight.
From what I’ve seen, it takes six to seven months to heal. It appears to be one of those cuts that needs to be sutured inside and out to get the best healing results.
Handling the fight in May is too fast, it’s rushed. I guess how this cut will open up again if they fight in May. I’ll move the match to June or July just to be sure. Personally, as a boxing coach, I would put it off for another day. The more time he takes to heal, the better it will be for Fury,” Ali Bashir was quoted as saying by boxing-social.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury was supposed to take place tomorrow, February 17, but it was postponed to May 18 due to a cut the Briton received in training.
Earlier, Usik’s promoter called on fans to pray for Tyson Fury’s health.
