After Tyson Fury shared images of his injury, seeking a postponement, several people questioned Fury’s professionalism. In addition to calling ‘The Gypsy King’ a coward, Egis Klimas, the manager of Oleksandr Usyk insulted Paris Fury, the WBC Heavyweight champion’s wife. Undoubtedly, the remarks made by team Usyk infuriated Fury. Therefore, after Turki Alalshikh announced the fight was postponed to the 18th of May, Fury promised to own team Usyk.
In this regard, reacting to the brief clip, one argued Fury would “send Usyk’s head to the moon on May 18th“.
He hit it with 1 arm and sent it to the moon like he will send Usyk’s head to the moon on May 18th 😭

However, one feared Fury would strain his arm and aggravate the situation. “Careful might strain your arm doing that and duck,” they wrote.

On the other hand, one wondered if Tyson had an issue with his left shoulder.
Why is he driving with 1 arm? A trick shot or does he have an issue with his left shoulder?

Similarly, one wondered if Fury gained back all the weight he lost.
