Zhilei: “Fury’s cut may open in a fight with Usik”

Interim WBO heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei not sure if the WBC title holder Tyson Fury will be able to quickly recover from a cut received during preparation for the fight with the champion in the other three versions Alexander Usik.

Let us remind you that the fight for the title of absolute champion was planned for February 17 in Riyadh, but was postponed to May 18 due to the Briton’s injury.

“Every fighter’s cuts heal differently. I think Tyson will have enough time. But if I were him, I would be careful about the selection of sparring partners.

This cut could definitely play a role, it could open up again. Surely the strategy of both fighters will be built around this - Tyson will protect the damaged eyebrow, and Usyk will try to attack it. This is an interesting factor,” Zhilei was quoted as saying by Boxing News.
