On Instagram Live, a member of Team Usyk read out one of Tyson Fury‘s statements from 2013. This was when his fight with David Haye was canceled due to a similar reason. He read:

Let me read you something. The cut is genuine. Correct. You can't box with a cut. Correct. Has to be canceled. That's why he's cut so he can pull out, s***house.

Team Oleksandr Usyk read

Tyson Fury and David Haye were to fight in a highly anticipated matchup back in 2013. However, Haye suffered a significant cut to the head during sparring. The fight was set to happen in February 2014. Reportedly, Fury did not take the news well. He suggested that Haye had deliberately made up the situation to avoid fighting him in the ring. He bashed Haye for months afterwards and his comments went viral.

Fans react to Team Oleksandr Usyk reacting to news of Tyson Fury’s injury

Team Oleksandr Usyk’s reaction to the news of Tyson Fury pulling out of the fight in February caught the attention of fans on social media.

Netizens headed to the comment section to share their reactions to the clip. People definitely had their opinions on whether Tyson Fury pulling out of the fight was a genuine reason or not. Here are some of the reactions from X:

This fight hasn’t been cancelled, it’s been postponed. When David Haye got a minor scratch, he cancelled the fight entirely and didn’t allow for a reschedule.

Tyson Fury has suffered a large gash the size of the Hoover Dam and will be ready once it’s healed.

That’s why I strongly believe Fury’s cut isn’t genuine.
Cut himself before sparring
Stage a spar and fake an accidental elbow hit
Come out to say he’s been cut in sparring

Just be honest that you need enough time to prepared

Man, we'll never get to see them fight.

Usyk team have values, fury back to his old ways master of his own demise, ruining his own legacy, only his most die hard fans can’t ignore the pattern of ducking so sad as like I’ve said a million times before he is amazing

From the man that doesn’t get hit, that’s been down on the canvas quite a few times to now having another bad cut…. From the self proclaimed best ever… he’s nowhere near the best ever, resume shows that, but also his last performance defined that! He doesn’t want Usyk or AJ!!

Remember @AKrassyuk @Usykaa @KlimasBoxing. @Tyson_Fury took *5months out* when he got 47 stitches vs Wallin. Fought Wallin September 14 2019 and then fought Wilder February 22 2020. Two postponements for this fight vs Usyk. Plus all the previous messing about.

Tyson Fury should be stripped of his belt

— Abdul Barber (@abdul_baaz) February 3, 2024

While some fans defended Fury against the allegations, others suggested that the entire injury was staged. People wrote that Fury has no intention of facing Oleksandr Usyk in the ring and that another excuse is on its way. Meanwhile, one fan even suggested to strip Tyson Fury of his belt.
