British promoter Frank Warren revealed the details of the injury to the Ukrainian world champion.
Alexander Usik’s jaw is fine; This was announced by the promoter of British boxer Frank Warren.
We remind you that immediately after defeating Fury, the newly crowned absolute champion went to the hospital. Subsequently, it became known that Usik was temporarily suspended from boxing.
According to Warren, the Ukrainian’s dental implant failed from one of the Briton’s blows.
“We don’t know what injuries the boys received, but I can say for sure that Usyk appears to have been involved in a fight.
He had stitches above his eye and we thought his jaw was broken, but as it turned out, Usyk’s dental implant cracked, which caused him severe pain,” Warren was quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
Let’s remember that Usik’s victory over Fury brought him the absolute heavyweight championship. The fight lasted all of 12 rounds. Usyk won by split decision – 115:112, 114:112, 113:114.
