Fury's heavyweight four-division clash with Usyk has been postponed to May 18 due to Fury having to get 11 stitches after he was elbowed by a sparring partner in his preparation for the day, and it is expected that he will need three months to recover from the wound. Fury's injury was also seen as a well-orchestrated scene by Usyk and his team, with the implication that they had expected Fury to make some trouble before the game and find a reason to delay the game because he was not in good shape.
Fury was annoyed by the Usyk team's remarks, he felt that he had been wronged, and Fury said angrily: "Last Friday I was assigned to fight 4 sparring partners for 12 rounds, and in the fifth round, I was broken by the sparring partner's elbow, and then I was sent to the hospital for 11 stitches, which is really frustrating, knowing that it is the first time in my boxing career to be broken in a sparring fight." ”
Fury yelled at Usyk's agent, Klimas, who called him a coward, "Why don't I want to fight in the biggest fight of my life? I've been boxing for 18 years, and I've had 35 professional fights, have you ever boxed? You're just a rat! I've fought against the best heavy gunner in the world, and I've got up from the ground to win, I'm not a coward! You're garbage! I want to compete on February 17, I'm 100% ready to knock out Usyk, but the organizers won't let me compete!"
Despite Fury's swearing, he has made many of his peers wonder why he suddenly got injured before the game, and the probability of this happening is very low.
The collapse of Fuli's personality is actually good for Zhang Zhilei, because there are only a few people back and forth at the top of the heavyweight class, but whenever someone falls behind, it will be time-consuming for other top fighters, after all, there is one less competitor, and there are more resources to be allocated.
Zhang Zhilei will face off against the former WBO boxing champion Parker on March 8, the appearance fee of both sides in this game has not been revealed, but according to the past appearance fee of the two as a reference, Zhang Zhilei's appearance fee for this battle should be around $1 million, and Parker should be around $2 million, but if Zhang Zhilei can pass Parker, his appearance fee in the second half of 2024 will soar to more than $5 million, if he can beat the winner of Usyk VS Fury, the appearance fee will come to more than $20 million, it can be said that Zhang Zhilei will make a lot of money in the next 1-2 years and achieve financial freedom, as for whether Zhang Zhilei can pass the Parker level first, let's wait and see.
