Frank Warren: He Lost Control After That
Frank Warren, Tyson Fury’s promoter, has suggested that his fighter’s bloodied nose was a pivotal moment in his loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Speaking to talkSPORT, Warren said that Fury was in control of the fight until he suffered the cut, after which he lost his composure.
The cut came in the third round, when Usyk landed a clean jab on Fury’s nose. The blood immediately began to flow, and Fury was forced to take a break to have it tended to. Warren believes that this break in momentum gave Usyk the opportunity to regain control of the fight.
I think the cut was a big turning point in the fight, Warren said. Tyson was in control up until that point, but after he got cut, he lost his composure. He started to rush his punches and make mistakes, and Usyk was able to take advantage of that.
Warren’s comments echo those of Fury himself, who admitted after the fight that the cut had affected his performance. The cut was a pain in the ass, Fury said. It was making it difficult for me to breathe and it was getting in my eyes. It definitely played a part in the fight.
The loss to Usyk was Fury’s first in his professional career. It is unclear whether Fury will seek a rematch with Usyk, but Warren believes that his fighter can learn from this experience and come back stronger.
Tyson is a warrior and he will bounce back from this, Warren said. He’s got a lot of heart and he’s always determined to prove his critics wrong. I believe he can come back from this and become even better than before.
