Carl Froch doesn’t seem to be convinced with Tyson Fury’s sparring injury.
The boxing world groaned last Friday when the undisputed clash between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk was postponed for the second time, with a new date set for a May 18th battle.
But former super-middleweight champion, Carl Froch has questioned the cut and the sparring footage.

Speaking on his Verdict show alongside former foe George Groves, Froch said:
“Why is he sparring the way he is? To start with, I wasn’t sure about the cut, I wanted to see him stitched up.
“After seeing Tyson Fury on Instagram, the cut to me doesn’t look like an acute injury, it looks like an injury that’s healing, it’s scabbed over, and the swelling has already come down and the bruising is showing.
“It looks about a week to ten day’s old, what significance that has I don’t know…”
“And that sparring footage, it may or may not have been the right footage, but it must have been filmed on a Nokia 8210.
“Because it was blurry, it was horrible and then we never saw the cut after he got elbowed.
“He definitely got elbowed in the face in that sparring, but where’s the clear footage and the cut, when did it happen?”
Froch’s comments have angered Tyson’s father John Fury in recent times and yesterday he called out ‘The Cobra’ for a scrap at Wembley stadium infront of 93,000 fans.
