The boxing world is reacting to the postponement of the February 17 title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Usyk's manager, Egis Klimas, labeled Fury 'a coward' for delaying the fight and made a striking accusation that Fury had someone hit him with a frying pan to avoid the match, asking to be quoted 'word for word' on this. Alex Krassyuk, Usyk's promoter, also commented on the situation. Fury responded fiercely, threatening to 'take his f***ing teeth out' if anyone insulted his wife, Paris, after mistakenly believing Klimas had called her a 'b****'. Fury later issued an apology for the outburst, which had occurred during an interview.
