    I have just seen a picture of Usyk with one his sparring partners and he appears to have strapping around his knee, please don't say he's not going to be healthy come next month!

    Both Fury and Usyk are physically ailing. Your concerns are valid.

    I hope he's getting some stem cells, you got his contact details?

    He's getting good PEDs and both have TUE's

    If Usyk had a real issue with his knee you would assume that he and his team would do their utmost not to let it leak out - which wouldn’t be difficult.

    I haven’t seen the pic but based on your vision and description, I’d guess that he’s foxing - sending out a red herring - unless he dropped a kettlebell on his knee. :D

    Both are getting old, but he will be physcailly better off than Fury.

    By the way...fight is still not on Boxrec last I checked. I am not even convinced this is a real thing.

    He is talking about this pic:

    His sparring partner has the same tape on his shoulder. It's most probably nothing.

    Noone is ever 100% in a fight. Especially mentally.

    Yeah it's not even strapping that's kinesiology tape you see tennis players and track and field athletes with that and perform just fine. It's probably something very minor, I use it all the time on my runs when I feel a niggle. Once he tapers off any inflammation will have subsided and he'll be fine.
