"The cut was caused by a collision with a blunt object." Gvozdyk speaks out about Fury's injury

Alexander Gvozdyk, the former WBC world light heavyweight champion, responded to the news that the Usyk-Fury fight was postponed due to the latter’s injury.

“My expert opinion is that the cut occurred as a result of Fury’s head colliding with a blunt object (a fist, someone’s head or an elbow). In sparring, you can bump heads or get elbowed. It is unlikely to get such a cut in sparring with a glove, because heavyweights spar in 16-18 ounce gloves and helmets. Was this a trick? No idea, I'm not in Fury's camp. They posted a photograph where a small cut is visible. At this level, no one will take risks. They wrote that the wound was stitched, but I doubt it. In this regard, I think the story is exaggerated. Perhaps Fury posted an old photo. I only rely on what is on the Internet. But even with such a small cut, he must interrupt his sparring. And this wound will not heal until the battle. At the level of that kind of money and a fight for the absolute title, no one will take risks because of such things. So it looks like the truth, but how they did it there, maybe they hit it with a pipe on purpose, I can’t know,” Gvozdyk said.
