‘The Cat’ Shunning the Broken Jaw Rumors Against Tyson Fury
During the post-fight press conference, Usyk himself declared his readiness for a rematch. “I am ready for a rematch,” he boldly stated. However, whispers of a broken jaw circulated before Usyk could even address the media. Krassyuk clarified the situation, recounting the events of that night.
Krassyuk explained that Usyk experienced discomfort in his jaw post-fight and consulted a doctor who advised a hospital visit due to the sensitivity of the area.
