"You know what? Shit happens in this game. It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. Fights get canceled because of injuries. I was a little pissed off at first, thinking the fight wasn't going to happen because we didn't have a date. But once we got the date two days later it was fantastic. Everything is great," The Stomping Ground quoted Fury as saying.
The fight between Usik and Fury was scheduled for February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was postponed due to the British received a dissection during training camp. Now the boxers are scheduled to meet on May 18 there.
