Tyson Fury will have surgery on an elbow injury which could delay his undisputed title clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
The 'Gypsy King' made a successful return to the ring with a dominant stoppage victory over heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He intended to get rounds under his belt and did so, with his potential upcoming rival watching on at ringside in hope of stepping up to the plate early in 2023.
Usyk and Fury were involved in a heated altercation after the fight, where Fury screamed in his rival's face and vowed to "end him" in a mega showdown next year. But it appears Fury will now have a delay with the 'Gypsy King' telling ESPN: "I've got to maybe have surgery on my right elbow. I had the left one done, so I've got to have it done. It will take about six-to-eight weeks to heal. We'll see when we can be ready for this fight."
