Tyson Fury’s sparring video has just been revealed with a situation that is said to have caused the British puncher to have a cut eye, causing the classic belt unification match with Usyk to be shockingly canceled.
The boxing world was just truly “stunned” when Tyson Fury had an accident during sparring, suffering a deep laceration to his right eyelid, which also meant that the match for the unification of the heavyweight title was an epic one. The historic meeting with Oleksandr Usyk on February 17 in Saudi Arabia was forced to cancel.
Immediately after the above incident was announced, international media quickly posted pictures of Tyson Fury sparring, showing a very deep cut in the British boxer’s right eye.
In particular, a video revealed on social network
Tyson Fury was “punched to the eye” by his training partner, not an accident because his head collided?
In this situation, Fury is using his left arm to pin his sparring partner’s neck while his right hand is throwing hook punches. But ironically, the opponent was faster and launched a very heavy left upper-cut that hit the target, causing Fury’s face to turn upside down.
There is still no further information about who the “sparring partner” who punched and cut Tyson Fury’s eye is. Previously, heavyweight champion Jai Otepaia also left Fury’s training camp early after only 5 rounds of sparring. Although the press rumored that “there was a knock-out situation” between Fury and Otepaia, both sides later denied it.
But with this latest accident, the price to pay is extremely high as Tyson Fury lost the opportunity to fight in a classic heavyweight title unification match and become the first absolute champion since 1999 when Lenox Lewis defeated Lenox Lewis. Evander Holyfield.
