The referee of the Fury vs Uysk undisputed heavyweight title fight must be “very strong,” demands promoter.
The referee of the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Uysk undisputed heavyweight title fight must be “very strong,” demands promoter Frank Warren. Fury will fight Usyk for the four major belts, the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles, on May 18, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Warren, who co-promotes Fury, is concerned by Usyk's last fight. Then, when fighting Daniel Dubois whom Warren also represents, Usyk was given plenty of time to recover from what referee Luis Pabon deemed to be a low blow.
Whether it was a low blow or not, the time he gave him and then, when he wanted to fight, he said 'no, take more time out'.' This undisputed title fight had to be postponed in February when Fury picked up a cut in sparring. Warren also voiced a concern that rough work from Usyk could be deployed to reopen that injury. 'I'm sure they're going to use every trick in the book and that's boxing isn't it?' Warren said.
