Russ Anber is another member of the team. Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs), who does not believe that the video popular on the Internet shows the moment when Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) suffers an eyebrow injury.

“In a helmet like Tyson’s, with full protection, it’s almost impossible to get such a cut,” the famous cutman and trainer said in an interview with Boxing News. - But this happened and they say it was after an elbow strike. Various things happen in boxing, although I haven’t seen anything like it, but it happened, who knows how. What can you do now? My first reaction was that it wasn’t true, but the cut was real.”

When asked whether Fury, who is recovering from injury, will be able to prepare in time for May 18, Anber replied: “I think three months might be enough these days, the skin heals quickly. It will be stitched up well, the stitches will be removed in about a week, vitamin E will help the skin recover, three months is enough.”
