Tyson Fury ‘pulls out of Oleksandr Usyk fight’ after suffering cut in training as blockbuster bout in doubt
Tyson Fury has reportedly been forced to pull out of his undisputed heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk after suffering a cut in training.
Both fighters have been finalising their camps in Saudi Arabia to get ready for the blockbuster bout.
It has been scheduled as the first time all four heavyweight belts are up for grabs since Lennox Lewis became the undisputed champion in 1999.
But Sports Illustrated now sensationally claim the fight on February 17th is off between Fury and Usyk.

Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, is reported to have broken the news about Fury’s supposed cut.
The scheduled fight between the two is now said to be off, although Usyk still wants to fight on February 17th.
The Ukrainian’s team feel Fury may not be able to fight for ‘several months’ as he recovers from the cut.
