Oleksandr Usyk's cutman, Russ Anber, is confident Tyson Fury will have enough time to recover

Russ Anber, the cutman for WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), commented on the injury of the Ukrainian's future opponent, WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

"In the kind of headgear that Tyson uses, with full protection, it's practically impossible to get such a cut. But it happened, and they say it was from an elbow strike. In boxing, different things can happen, although I've never seen anything like this, but who knows how it happened. What now? At first, I thought it wasn't true, but the cut was real. I think, nowadays, three months should be enough, the skin heals quickly. They'll stitch him up well, the stitches will be removed in about a week, and vitamin E will help the skin recover, so three months should be enough," Anber said.

The showdown between Usyk and Fury is the first fight for the undisputed championship since 1999. It has been postponed twice recently: from December 23rd to February 17th and from February 17th to May 18th, both times due to Tyson's injuries.
