Fans spot worrying Tyson Fury detail during press conference that could massively impact Oleksandr Usyk fight

Fans have been left worried after spotting one Tyson Fury detail ahead of his bout against Oleksandr Usyk.

This weekend, all eyes will be on the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as Fury take on Usyk in his bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Originally, the bout was scheduled to happen back in February but that had to be postponed after Fury suffered a cut above his eye during a sparring session.

Ahead of this weekend’s fight, fans have spotted a worrying detail during the press conference.

On social media, Boxing Kingdom wrote: “Tyson Fury’s eye is a big problem. Significant scar tissue is evident. I highly doubt that will hold up long & Usyk will know this. Fury may need to try KO Usyk early.”

Reacting to the post, one fan said: “Could be a reason he chose not to do a face off now that I think about it.”

Another tweeted: “I noticed it in the press conference today. Plus when he first wore that hat I did wonder if he was hiding something. Well we will find out just how much of a problem it is on Saturday. Round 1, let’s see if Fury tries to keep him off it right from the start. Can’t wait.”

A third fan added: “Usyk’s left hook his most dangerous weapon too. Even without full weight behind it. From arm power alone, fast enough to finish any fight. Would never bet against @Tyson_Fury in a serious bout but he’s gonna have to fight clever.”

Someone else wrote: “If Usyk manages to open the cut in early rounds it will make for a thrilling fight. Fury will go all out to secure the KO, giving Usyk the upper hand.”

A fifth commented: “Usyk is a great fighter and will probably aim for that. But Tyson is no mug. And he’s not going to be as rigid as AJ. Really interesting fight, as the saying ‘styles make fights’ This should be a corker.”

Speaking ahead of the fight, Fury said: “It's not personal. It's strictly business for both fighters. There's a lot of stuff on the line, but I don't hate him. I respect him as a man, as a fighter. Anyone would have to respect the man's achievements. He's unified heavyweight champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion.

“I'm the best. I'm just defending my 'best-ness' against him. We have weight divisions for a reason. When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, usually they get found wanting. You can beat the average big ones, but you can't beat the elite big ones because size really matters. These are facts.”
