apologies mates if it was already posted, but anyone know who the sparring partner was?

He's 6'2, a natural Cruiserweight and is a south-paw and has 76' reach... Easy to see that he was very comparable to Usyk and an ideal sparring partner...

Johnny Nelson is absolutely convinced that it was him...

It was a Croatian HW called Agron Smakici

The quicker Fury fucks off out of the sport the better.

I’ve been saying this for the last decade. Him and his whole family are a stain on the sport.
Hopefully this the end of the fat tramp and he can go back to Netflix and faking mental illness for the rest of his life.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I feel embarrassed for some people on this forum..

Very off putting.

[BigDoofus]

Why does the video recording not continue recording up until we can see what his eye looks like from the impact?

Why is there just one photo of it going around which looks like its taken on a vintage motorola and looks cropped?

Why is Fury not posting more photos and doing interviews to show proof of the injury?

If this gets proven to be orchestrated than I geuinely hope he gets the other side of that Saudi treatment, because its not fair on Uysk nor the sport. All they have to do is jump on a video call with him and ask him to show it.

Conspiracy theory up there with the World Trade Centre.

It's crazy what some people come up with, someone on Twitter was saying he deliberately cut himself to get out the fight

There’s nutters on here that have insinuated that.

[The Gratest]

Best meltdown yet

[Ruthless-RKO]

Turki adds back-door clause

“We delayed it for the 18th of May,” Alalshikh confirmed Saturday afternoon during an interview with The MMA Hour, with Fury seated next to him. “I guaranteed to both fighters ten million (dollars) if someone escapes from the fight. This is the first thing. The second thing is, I guarantee a big fight for the other one on that same night.”

“Make the people and fans around the world know if someone is scared or wants to escape from this fight,” pleaded Alalshikh. “Eighteen of May, we will have Tyson-Usyk, Usyk-Tyson. If someone (is) scared, if Usyk is scared, I will call for Joshua-Tyson. If Tyson’s scared, I will call for any fighters Usyk wants.

“It is my name on this thing. We have availability from both sides.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

Question is.. does the IBF allow this

Fury said David Haye caused the cut to get out of fighting him. Do you believe that?

[SeanBrennan]

that is a horrible cut.

[Grilling Machine]

What part of that clip clearly shows an elbow connecting to Luke’s right eye?

The only way I can see it happening is if the elbow landed right in the headguard's open corner, in such a way it caught and guided the elbow to Fury's brow as the elbow displaced it.

[Controversial]

Nah I’m not having it, my mates next door neighbours, sisters niece is on holiday out there and she saw Fury today and he doesn’t have a cut, the video is fake and they’ve added a cut eye filter.

Usyk must have insisted on it and I don't blame him.

Its not much of a 'conspiracy theory' when we all thought he would pull out and he somehow does.

Hopefully Tyson ticks over so he's not too heavy then he can get his sparring right and his sharpness in his next camp

[coneye]

THATS the LEFT eye , he just done a video with the king fella showing the RIGHT EYE

[The Gratest]

The camera will be reversed in selfie mode, Coneye.
