All rather predictable.
Fury notorious for sparring without a head guard.

Bitter news, though much sweetened by your second coming.

The man is a disgrace. An embarrassment to his sport and his country.

It would appear contrary to opinions elsewhere he had been taking his preparation seriously, hence the sparring with a smaller Usyk like opponent.
The training camp schedule would have been on the cusp of stopping sparring almost certainly within the next week.
It happened back in 74 in Zaire and the Rumble in the Jungle, George Foreman was cut in sparring, although the fight was only postponed a few weeks, I saw one medical expert reckon with the existing scar tissue from a previous cut which needed 47 stitches, this could take up to 90 days to heal properly, which I’m sure the Saudis are going to love
If you can predict this HT, you’re in the wrong job

But unless he’s resorted to self harming I cannot see how this has been manufactured.
Unfortunately the unpredictable nature of Fury, ie his mental health and the unhealthy side of his entourage, currently dictates he needs boxing as much as boxing needs him.
I’ve always been concerned about what he’d do in retirement without the right guidance, if this is the end as many are predicting then who knows what the future holds?
Who knows but I’ve long had my suspicion about Fury and ducking of fights. Maybe he didn’t get a blade and deliberately cut himself but he could have deliberately taken unnecessary risks and/or put himself in harms way to get a convincing cut. I appreciate this is a damning suggestion but he really doesn’t seem to want to fight certain boxers and Usyk is one of them.
Let’s see how this plays out but I don’t see Usyk Fury happening now.

I’m not with the conspiracy theorists here. Fury looks in good shape and I think he’ll be devastated by this and he’ll go again in the summer.
So, after retiring, then coming back, then retiring again, then only coming back to fight for free....sorry make that half a billion, no need to fight AJ............we now have Fury claiming he's NOT retiring again BUT will fight 5 times: Usyk twice (after pulling out of fights 3 times I think), AJ twice and then someone else. I think I have got this right; it's hard to keep up.

Yep. The blokes a ****.
Fight Week surely time for a bounce.
My gut feel is Fury on points, but I may even change my mind during the ring walks. I think it is going to be a momentous occasion, but not necessarily a great fight.
