All right you’ve probably seen the news by now but the biggest boxing fight in recent history certainly the biggest on paper since 1999 between two undefeated champions of the world is off the fight is canceled Alexander usk taking on Tyson Fury to unify all the belts is off it’s

Postponed anyway for now just two weeks before the fight okay two weeks before and just two days after that atic Masterpiece of a trailer drops the production values on that trailer were phenomenal and it just shows the commitment to this sport that they’re making in Saudi Arabia that must have

Cost millions of dollars I’ll say five million as a rough guess the production value the costumes the the CGI right the production of that was phenomenal but never mind that the fight was going to be even better okay and right now for the foreseeable future that fight is not

Happening listen when you’re training for a fight like that you’ve got to spar that is how you get ready you’re going to get good at tennis you play tennis golf play golf if you’re going to box you’ve got to spar you’ve got to get ready and two weeks out there is no

Problem in that whatsoever but there is a problem when your sparring partner is connecting with God damn elbows although I don’t think it was on purpose now we’re going to have a look at the footage here and as soon as it starts Tyson gets caught with a shot and he’s

Like I’m cut I’m cut and then someone in the back like who’s cut let’s have a look here he’s like C you can hear you can hear in the background they pissed off but when you look at the footage here it looks like a left up that his opponent’s

Trying to throw and there it is in the freeze frame you can see it’s the point of the elbow which connects right on the eye now immediately after Tyson says I’m cut they’re all freaking out Tyson walks off he kind of rubs his eye and then he

Rubs it again right in the exact same spot he’s got white gloves on and you don’t see any blood but he knew he was caught instinctively okay and you can’t really see because it looks like it’s filmed in the 1970s the footage isn’t the best uh so there might

Be a bit of blood on the glove but that cut that now we see it in it all its Glory it’s a big inch and a half size cut that would have bled like crazy okay now the sparing partner is a smaller guy smaller guy so obviously brought him

Into to replicate the style of Alexander usk smaller faster and just a different style right uh I don’t think he did it on purpose he threw a little left hook in the in the pocket kind missed and then the elbow followed up and connected just like KSI did when he knocked that

Guy out of course everyone’s pissed off there’s a lot of money everyone’s excited for this but the time energy effort dedication from both fighters in this one has been second to n so of course Tyson fuse come out and made a statement and he said I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this

Fight for so long and being in such superb condition I feel bad for everybody involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed I can only apologize to everyone affected including my own team team musk the undercard Fighters partners and fans

As well as our host and my friends in Saudi Arabia so all class there from Tyson Fury and as I say it’s not his fault these things just happen big fights get canceled or postponed all the time and yet it sucks we’re all pissed

Off we all wanted to see it and we will still get to see it probably we’ll get to that in just a second uh but Tyson listen you know you know what he’s like right if the shoe was on the other foot if it was usyk that would have pulled

Out right he would be calling him every name under the sun you stupid little sausage you’re pulling out no man alive should be getting elbowed in the face to people like you haters all the time talking [ __ ] about me and now when I come and confront you you’re a [ __ ]

House just like David a you’ve got nothing to say you little [ __ ] now this is what happens when you get little [ __ ] like this talking about a man like me I’m sorry I like iton I like it because he came out and he said listen I can’t help

Getting injured in sparing but what I can say usk is in trouble and what he’s talking about there because he’s standing he’s looking very lean in way better condition physically according to the ey test which doesn’t mean everything it’s not foolproof right but on paper on the picture he looks to be

In way better shape so that means he’s been training that means he’s been dedicated following a tough regime easing the cor Foods going to bed early and just getting ready for this monumentous event okay he looked in good shape for Tyson Fury he’s not going to win any bodybuilding contest but

Compared to the Tyson Fury that showed up against Francis inaru looks to been way better Nick okay and the Nick on the eye it’s not a Nick that’s a deep cut that’s going to require at least three four weeks of no contact whatsoever so fighting in two weeks was never going to

Happen the eye could close a little bit bit in two weeks but it would have to be two weeks of no contact whatsoever and then as soon as the fight starts the first punch to that eye and that cup will open up and then that’s it the

Fight’s off and then Tyson’s lost all of the titles and he’s lost to Alexander usk and he’s lost the possibility of being the greatest boxer of his generation and possibly one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time so he did the right thing and trust me I’m talking from experience the first

Time I fought Luke rockold is Sydney Australia I got kneed in the head of a training partner we were on the ground I was going for a kamora I got kneed in the head by accident opened up a huge cut okay I flew out to Australia and rockold was even talking

About the stitches in my eye above my left eye here and then I was walking into the arena that day and as I’m walking in and as you probably know I had a bad eye that I was keeping very very quiet back in the day I’m walking

In and the UFC official said the doctor needs to see you I’m like why does the doctor doctor need to see me they said something about your eye and I’m like oh [ __ ] I’m rumbled I’m rumbled it’s over and so I go into a room and there’s a

Doctor waiting for me we’ll get back to Tyson in a minute I go into a room there’s a doctor waiting for me and I said what’s up he says oh Mike you can’t fight with bloody stitches and he just pulls the stitches out there and then I’m like oh thank God dodged another

Bullet and then in the fight me and rockold we Clash heads in the first round and the cut opened up straight away he kicked me in the head though as well but I was blind because of that cut anyway back to the fight back to usk I’m

Just giving you a little anecdote there why he did the right thing pulling out of this fight but according to Alexander usk he says wishing you the soonest recovery God sent you a sign think of retirement brother okay and if you say it like us it would be wishing you the

Soon as recovery I feel I’m very feel God sent you a sign think of retirement brother that’s actually his manager that said that and I didn’t know that uh Borat was usk’s manager so I apologize for that bad bad impression um now what’s the talk now what happened so the

The reality of the situation now is that either they postpone the fight or they bring in a replacement and the replacement is potentially going to be Philip herovic fighting out of Croatia a man that is undefeated 17 and0 and he is the ibf mandatory Challenger okay so he

Wants the shot he said that now that Fury has gotten injured I am ready to step in and fight usyk let’s go usk you owe me my mandatory shot it’s time to finally face me so there’s two options there now you never know because this fight card was all about the main event

And it does suck for all the undercard Fighters if it doesn’t go ahead as preceded in two weeks all the other undercard Fighters as well as Alexander usk they’re going to have to slow down and they’re going to have to get ready for another date apparently they’re

Talking about June I saw online online I’m talking of online all the haters have come out they’re all talking [ __ ] they’re all initially saying oh Tyson’s pulled out Tyson’s bottled it Tyson’s using any excuse to avoid Alexander usk right I just looked at Twitter before and there’s everyone talking a bit of

[ __ ] right the reality is this is legitimate okay it’s just a sad State of Affairs that when you’re getting ready for a fight injuries happen like that and when you see the cut on the eye right you know you know you can’t box with that I’m not going to say it no man

Alive should be boxing with that and they shouldn’t right it’s just a shame it’s just a goddamn shame now the thing is if usyk stays on the card and fights Philip herovic and I’m sure he would do I’m sure he’s not going to duck him I’m sure you know listen both men are

Undefeated I’m sure it would be a tough fight herovic 6 fo three tough guy lots of knockouts on his record but Alexander usk’s the man right more than likely he would beat him and then he could go on to face Tyson Fury but that’s a big risk

That is a big big risk so we don’t know what we’re going to do that if I’m managing Alexander usk I say you just sit tight you just sit tight and wait it’s kind of like steti miic being offered to fight Tom Aspen Tom Aspen came out recently and said listen uh UFC

Offered me stpe I accepted Stipe turned it down well if I was managing Stipe or if I was managing usk I’d say the same thing you wait why would you fight Tom aspinal who is the interim Champion when you can fight Jon Jones right no disrespect to Tom who’s a bigger who’s

On the verge of retirement who’s the goat who’s the Undisputed Champion just wait a few months it’s the same thing here for usyk why would you fight Philip herovic okay yeah you’ll stay active you’ll stay busy you’ll get another win you’ll get another payday but there’s a gigantic Monumental lifechanging payday

And also the legacy of it as well so the fight is not happening okay I’m devastated I really am you know I feel for Tyson I really do it’s a a shame I’ve been there I’ve never had to pull out but in the past I should have done I

Should have done so Tyson is doing the right thing he’s doing the smart thing he’s thinking with his brain and not his heart okay so there it is we it remains to be seen what will happen next but more than likely my prediction is that this fight gets postponed and we see it

Maybe in April May or June it’s a shame it is but as I say this is Combat Sports and this stuff happens oh well anyway thanks for watching if you’re still here subscribe ring the bell I’ll see you [Applause] soon
