Tyson Fury's Heavyweight Title Fight Postponed

News summary

Tyson Fury's highly anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk, which was scheduled for 17 February, has been postponed after Fury suffered a cut above his eye in a sparring session. Fury required 15 stitches to close the cut, which was caused by an elbow blow from his Croatian sparring partner Agron Smakici. Smakici has since said that he does not feel bad about the incident, and he hopes to be invited back to Fury's camp for the rescheduled fight on 18 May. Footage of the cut has been released and has caused controversy as it appears to show poor sparring etiquette. Fans have criticised Fury and his team, with some claiming the injury was staged. The new date for the fight will see a $10m fine for any further delays.
