Derek Chisora Concerned Tyson Fury Training at ’85 Per Cent’ Due to Eye Injury Ahead of Usyk Fight

As the highly anticipated showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk draws near, Derek Chisora has expressed concerns that the Gypsy King may only be training at ’85 per cent’ due to his eye injury sustained in sparring earlier this year. Fury, who was criticized for his performance against Francis Ngannou in October, was originally set to face Usyk in February but the fight was postponed to May following the injury.

Chisora, speaking to Crypto Casino LTD, voiced his worries that Usyk may target Fury’s cut during the fight, potentially impacting the outcome. The British heavyweight acknowledged the significance of the injury, questioning whether Fury’s training has been compromised as a result.

While Chisora hopes for a Fury victory, he acknowledged the challenges the Gypsy King may face in the ring against the undefeated Usyk. Despite their past encounter in 2022, Chisora believes Fury will need to adapt his strategy to protect his vulnerable eye.

Recent rumors of Fury being knocked down in sparring by Jai Opetaia were vehemently denied by both Fury and Opetaia, with the latter clarifying that he left camp to focus on his own upcoming fight. Opetaia praised his experience in Fury’s camp, emphasizing the mutual respect between the two fighters.

As the boxing world eagerly awaits the Fury-Usyk showdown, the speculation surrounding Fury’s training and injury adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming bout. With both fighters aiming to secure victory, fans can expect an intense and closely contested match between two heavyweight titans.
