“6 Stitches”: Lennox Lewis and Eddie Hearn Shed Light on Tyson Fury’s Injury and Usyk Fight Postponement

Ahead of the fight against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed Heavyweight title, Tyson Fury suffered a serious injury. As a result, the current WBC Heavyweight champion has now considered a postponement. Undoubtedly, the situation left team Usyk unhappy. Likewise, they have insulted ‘The Gypsy King’.

Anyway, to call a spade a spade, the cut Fury has suffered requires considerable time to heal. In this context, Lennox Lewis took to social media and offered his valuable perspective on the cut. Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn suggested a potential new date for Fury vs. Usyk. In addition, Hearn spoke about someone cutting Fury up with a knife.

Lennox Lewis breaks down devastating news regarding Tyson Fury’s injury

In the third round of their fight in 2019, Otto Wallin landed a clean left hand to open up a cut on Tyson Fury’s right eye. In the following rounds, ‘The Gypsy King’ bled badly and struggled to fight with the cut. However, he somehow managed to win the contest via UD. But, later, it was revealed that Fury required 47 stitches to the cut above his right eye! In this connection, now that Fury reported he had a freak cut during a sparring session, Lennox Lewis made a startling observation.

According to Lewis, “This cut is in [the] same area as [the] one he got in [the] Wallin fight.” In his opinion, “He’s probably gonna need about 6 stitches and 3 months to heal.” Well, Lewis is not wrong. Certainly, the cut will take considerable time to heal. Likewise, Fury claimed he feels devastated since he won’t be able to fight Usyk on February 17th. Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn suggested a potential new date for Fury vs. Usyk.

Eddie Hearn suggests a possible date for postponement and addresses conspiracy theory

According to Hearn, the cut does not look good. Therefore, he feels boxing fans may have to wait for 2-3 months to see Fury and Usyk share the ring. “Two weeks out. Probably, one of the last couple of spars for Tyson Fury. Looking at the cut, it doesn’t look like a pleasant cut. I think, April [or] May is a realistic kind of date for a postponement,” said Hearn. Along these lines, he addressed a conspiracy theory.

“To have a conspiracy theory, you would have to suggest that Tyson Fury has allowed someone to cut him open with a knife above his eye when he’s sparred, trained for seven weeks, and he’s making an absolute fortune to fight for the undisputed championship,” said Hearn.
