Its possible but its always him though. He did this so many times already and cried wolf so often that its automatically suspect. Hence why I believe its ataged. We were all distrusting of Fury actually fighting already and then it happens.
I say no, but does not matter, Fury always playing around and make others feel uncomfortable. Just look how Usyks people are reacting. I bet Usyk is fuming Usyk will be weaker than before, that's for sure. So Furys goal is reached.
The truth is we cannot know one way or the other. The video and picture could be accurate records of what transpired, or the sparring incident staged and the photo digitally edited. We can argue the toss over this for so long the TKO6 thread would look like a tweet. All we have to go off is the character of the man at the centre of this. Is he prone to lying? Do we trust the words that come out of his mouth?
How do I know if Fury is actually cut? IF Fury is indeed cut, is there any chance the fight could be POSTPONED like "The Rumble in the Jungle" was postponed (25.IX 1974 - 30.X 1974) due to Foreman's cut. If the fight was postponed for 30-40 days, then it would be proof that Fury was indeed cut; is not it?
I was about to take an L because I was adamant the fight would never happen & a few days ago I conceded that it probably would now. So do I think it was staged? I honestly don't know, but Fury only has himself to blame for people doubting the authenticity of the cut because he's such a liar. Has he got the audacity to fake a cut to get out of the fight? Yes of course he has.
I think the biggest obstacle to considering this being staged is how much resistance would Fury get from his own camp for this? This can't reflect well on Warren / Queensbury, and there will be a ton of his own staff who will be losing out on money / income because the fight is off, not to mention how much it has put out the undercard boxers and so many others. My view is this - if this really WAS staged, then it's going to come out, because loose lips sink ships, and someone will blab. Does anyone really think that Fury could manufacture something of this magnitude, hoodwinking Turki Alalshikh (the hand that feeds no less) and everyone else involved?
The cut looks legit in that image but maybe he faked it. But then maybe it is what it seems, even a serial liar like Fury must tell the truth sometimes even if it's by accident lol. Time will tell, either the fight will be rescheduled or he will keep ducking Usyk. But even If the fight happens he'll still be remembered as the guy who tried to age Usyk out and delayed the fight to the point where the result no longer mattered as much as it could have when both looked prime. If Fury loses his fans will say he's shot, saying the Ngannou fight proved that, if Usyk loses, well he's 37 plus, depending on if the fight happens this year or the next and no longer prime so Fury didn't beat the same version of Usyk that schooled Joshua.
