Usyk Broken Jaw Update, What Really Happened

Most thought Usyk’s jaw had been broken after Tyson Fury (after the fight) said it was, and Usyk’s promoter said he thought it could be.

However, the hospital visit for Usyk was precautionary in the end.

No broken jaw it has now been confirmed:

Oleksandr Usyk did not suffer a broken jaw vs Tyson Fury, Alex Krassyuk has confirmed. Usyk was told by doctor not to attend post-fight presser due to suspected break, but insisted on going to hospital afterwards – it's only a minor injury, one-week recovery. [@BoxingKingMedia]

Usyk will likely be back this October.

To take on Fury in a rematch.

For now, it will likely be the month of June and July (and the rest of May obviously) completely taken off.

For both fighters.

Then back to training in August for a likely October date.
