Warning about a tear in Tyson Fury’s eyelid as the title unification match with Usyk nears
Tyson Fury continues to be on “red alert” with a deep tear in his eyelid 2 months ago, when the classic heavyweight boxing title unification match with Usyk approached.
The deep tear in the right eyelid that Tyson Fury suffered during a sparring match more than 2 months ago was the reason why the classic world heavyweight boxing title match with Usyk had to be canceled on February 17. And now that injury continues to be a “red alert”, with less than a month left until the rescheduled Fury -Usyk match (May 18).
It is known that in the latest development, a medical expert specializing in treating and suturing traumatic lacerations for boxers, MMA fighters and even bare-knuckle boxers, Sammy Morris, has revealed that “Tyson Fury’s eyelid laceration has not yet appeared.” Healed back as expected.”
Worse, Morris said, the tear Fury received during sparring practice more than 2 months ago was located right on the part of his eyelid that was deeply torn and seriously damaged when Fury was punched by Otto Wallin and bled a lot during the match. gloves in 2019. At that time, Fury had to have up to 45 stitches. The most recent accident “paid for” with 11 stitches.
“If Fury had a torn eyelid 5 years ago and that wound was torn and opened again in the same position 2 months ago, then clearly it did not completely heal again. In other words, that is a “twice damaged area”!”, veteran medical expert Sammy Morris revealed.
“Even if he tries to preserve it and only return to competition after a minimum of 100 days, the basic timeline as advised by many doctors, Fury absolutely faces the risk that the wound can tear open again in the neck. any situation when competing with Usyk”.
Previously, in early February, Tyson Fury tore his right eyelid and bled while sparring with the relatively unknown boxer Argon Smakici. Ironically, the video recording of the accident shows that it seems Fury accidentally hit… his training partner’s elbow.
At that time, wound treatment expert Jorge Capetillo, who helped Fury stop the bleeding as well as treat the torn eyelid in the match with Otto Wallin, revealed that the British puncher needed at least 90 days of treatment to recover. heal trauma.
After that, many experts and famous former boxers expressed concern for Fury when the organizers immediately rescheduled the Fury – Usyk match on May 18, which is very close to the time Fury needed for treatment. heal the tear.
“Fury is 35 years old and he needs twice as much time to heal such a tear as a boxer in his twenties. At this age, your skin has lost a lot of elasticity as well as the collagen layer on the outside. bottom, so if it is damaged, it will be easier to tear again,” expert Sammy Morris analyzed.
“With a fighter like Fury, he will understand and be wary of that injury. Fury will try to protect his eyes every time Usyk tries to hit them with heavy and fast punches. Fury has There could be trouble and I personally think the tear could open and bleed again.”
Recently, Tyson Fury and famous boss and promoter Frank Warren held a press conference in England to share more about the classic belt unification match with Usyk on May 18. Here, Fury did not mention anything more about the treatment of the eyelid tear. However, through photos, it is still possible to detect the location of the tear that has not completely healed.
Obviously, that will be the biggest concern for the British boxer. And on the other hand, Usyk knows clearly where to exploit if he wants to defeat Fury, win the WBC belt from his opponent and become the first heavyweight “absolute champion” in a quarter of a century. since Lenox Lewis punched Evander Holyfield and was crowned.
