Rumors have been circulating about an incident during a sparring session between Jai Opetaia and Tyson Fury, where Opetaia allegedly dropped Fury. This speculation was fueled by the fact that Opetaia left Fury's training camp after just five rounds of sparring. Both Opetaia's Australian co-promoters and a training partner of Fury have responded to the rumors, with the promoters issuing a statement and the training partner denying that Fury was dropped. The incident has garnered attention as Fury prepares for his upcoming 'Ring of Fire' fight against Oleksandr Usyk on February 17th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the midst of preparations, Fury has also met with Francis Ngannou and engaged in verbal jabs with the former UFC champion.
