Mendes: "It's hard to believe the story that Fury got cut on purpose"

Famous American MMA coach Javier Mendez commented on rumors that the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury deliberately injured himself in order to postpone the fight against the owner of the remaining belts in the division Alexandra Usika.

“It’s very unlikely that Tyson would do something like that, considering what a great fighter he is. My gut says that Fury has a real cut. I can't imagine Tyson avoiding anyone.

Fury has repeatedly said that he is not afraid of anyone and he is one of the greatest heavyweights of the last decade. So it’s hard for me to believe these stories about the cut, because he is a great fighter and a champion. Fury was knocked down, but he got up. He fell more than once, but continued to rise and won. Tyson is a true champion,” Mendes said in an interview with DAZN.
