[Other Sport] Fury vs Usyk

[vegster]

Doesn’t sparing late in camp normally feature head guards to mitigate this risk?

How strange

[Herr Tubthumper]

All rather predictable.

Fury notorious for sparring without a head guard.

 

[HangletonGull]

So so predictable

 

[StonehamPark]

Fight is off

Bitter news, though much sweetened by your second coming.

 

[vegster]

Fight is off

Enrest has risen !

 

[METALMICKY]

So so predictable

This!

 

[Normal Rob]

The man is a disgrace. An embarrassment to his sport and his country.

 

[TomandJerry]

Fury was wearing head gear

 

[banjo]

Bottle job.

It would appear contrary to opinions elsewhere he had been taking his preparation seriously, hence the sparring with a smaller Usyk like opponent.

The training camp schedule would have been on the cusp of stopping sparring almost certainly within the next week.

It happened back in 74 in Zaire and the Rumble in the Jungle, George Foreman was cut in sparring, although the fight was only postponed a few weeks, I saw one medical expert reckon with the existing scar tissue from a previous cut which needed 47 stitches, this could take up to 90 days to heal properly, which I’m sure the Saudis are going to love

All rather predictable.

If you can predict this HT, you’re in the wrong job

Amusing as I’m not convinced Fury wants this fight. I won’t be surprised if Fury finds some “problem” further down the line which means the fight doesn’t happen.

But unless he’s resorted to self harming I cannot see how this has been manufactured.

Unfortunately the unpredictable nature of Fury, ie his mental health and the unhealthy side of his entourage, currently dictates he needs boxing as much as boxing needs him.

I’ve always been concerned about what he’d do in retirement without the right guidance, if this is the end as many are predicting then who knows what the future holds?

Who knows but I’ve long had my suspicion about Fury and ducking of fights. Maybe he didn’t get a blade and deliberately cut himself but he could have deliberately taken unnecessary risks and/or put himself in harms way to get a convincing cut. I appreciate this is a damning suggestion but he really doesn’t seem to want to fight certain boxers and Usyk is one of them.

Let’s see how this plays out but I don’t see Usyk Fury happening now.

 

[Mancgull]

I’m not with the conspiracy theorists here. Fury looks in good shape and I think he’ll be devastated by this and he’ll go again in the summer.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So, after retiring, then coming back, then retiring again, then only coming back to fight for free....sorry make that half a billion, no need to fight AJ............we now have Fury claiming he's NOT retiring again BUT will fight 5 times: Usyk twice (after pulling out of fights 3 times I think), AJ twice and then someone else. I think I have got this right; it's hard to keep up.
