Frank Warren, the man behind WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury, is throwing his gloves in the ring against talkSPORT's Adam Catterall. Warren's beef? A question from Catterall that cast doubt on the legitimacy of Fury's reported cut.
"Adam Catterall? His takes on boxing are more off the mark than a blindfolded jab. What he's peddling is pure slander," Warren fired off.
Catterall's skepticism about the timeline of Fury's injury photo has Warren fighting. "Questioning the cut's authenticity? That's a low blow, pure and simple slander."
Warren's counterpunch? Legal action. "He's gonna catch a letter from my lawyer faster than a left hook, demanding an apology for his words. Tyson's injury was legit—15 stitches worth of proof. And to think, does he really believe all the money pumped into fight promos, the dough dropped on sparring partners, is for show? Tyson was in Riyadh. Does he reckon the Sheik and medical team are in on some conspiracy?"
Warren's closing threat packs a punch: "No 'I'm sorry' from him? Then it's on—I'm dragging him to court myself."
The backdrop to this scrap? The Usyk-Fury bout was pushed from February 17 to May 18 due to Fury's sparring injury, which supposedly required 11 stitches, according to the Gypsy King himself.
