Usyk Shows Off His Insane, Bulked-Up Physique For Fury

Usyk’s Physique

Fury, however, may come in lighter than usual. He has to get the balance right between boxing and exchanging on the inside. He suffered a cut over his right eye in sparring, which resulted in their February 17 fight being called off. The cut is usually expected to take around three months to heal, pushing that timeline into June. There are worries that Usyk could target that eye, increasing the possibility of that cut reopening.

“Tyson has a reputation for being a rowdy guy. He spars oft times without any head gear on and a fight of that magnitude you can’t take those kinds of chances. I don’t know whether he had head gear off or not but the place where the cut is it seems so unlikely. Disregard for his profession, disregard for the fans… more than likely it came from him being reckless.

“May, that’s cutting it short, that is hurrying it up. I can see that cut re-opening if they go in May. I would push the fight back to June or July to be sure. [And] I personally as a boxing trainer would push it back. The longer that he takes time for it to heal, the better the cut is going to be but I don’t know about May,” Bashir said

Fury’s Training

In addition, Fury’s legs have slowed down since his fights with Wilder and Francis Ngannou. He was dropped in both fights, showing he is not as elusive as he once was. While Usyk does not have the biggest punch, this is heavyweight boxing where anything can happen. But Fury’s sparring partner Ty Mitchell says otherwise. He recently underwent numerous rounds to help the Gypsy King prepare for Usyk. Based on what he has seen so far, he expects the WBC Heavyweight Champion to be too much for Usyk to handle.

“Sparring the number one heavyweight on the planet whilst fasting? Yeah completed it mate. Total domination May 18th in Saudi! Inn shaa Allah,” Mitchell said
