Former world champion Ricky Hatton has spoken out about cutting the WBC heavyweight title holder.
The cut Tyson Fury received during training sparring should not affect the result against Oleksandr Usyk. Former world champion Ricky Hatton thinks.
According to the specialist, the injury of the British boxer is not very serious, and therefore will not give an advantage to the holder of the WBO, WBA and IBF belts.
“I don’t think the cut will affect the outcome of the fight. Tyson’s cut was stitched by the right people, he was operated on so that everything would be fine.
I got cut fighting John Thaxton and I needed plastic surgery because it was horrible. I know Tyson only has a few weeks to recover from this, but if the cut opens up after the sixth round, it would be horrible for the referee to stop a fight of this stature, with so much at stake. I’m not too worried about it,” Hutton was quoted as saying by the Daily Star.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury is scheduled for May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Previously, Tyson Fury showed how his father trains and prepares him for the fight with Usik.
