pbs.twimg.comThat thing is jacked up. Going through my second grade 2 ankle sprain right now, and his is way worse with the bruising that high. He will be lucky if he can train in two months like a heavyweight boxer.

although he's a pro "athlete" and will have access to better physio maybe, but a sprain like that means hes torn all 3 ligaments most likely. His size will play a factor too, but not positive if it'll be good or bad for him in terms of healing.

He hasn't torn any ligaments there my friend.
I tore all the ligaments in my ankle, I needed a ligament graft (taken from my calf then stapled to my foot, after a hole being drilled in my ankle) and then I was in cast for 8 weeks.

I tore all the ligaments in my left ankle when I was about 14. It looked similar to this but more purple. I didn't need a cast but I couldn't had to keep it elevated for nearly two weeks and about 6 months rehab.

That's because you were little and 14, not in your late 20's.
If Tyson Fury at his full 20-odd stone had torn his ankle ligaments, it would have likely broken his ankly because of his weight.

I'm just going off what has happened with me, so I figured it was an educated guess. Apparently not lol

Fucksake Tyson

Well, there goes the belts...

his foot reminds me of his face's shape :D

Ouch. Is the fight in jeopardy? Ankle injuries are nasty
3
Not only will it hurt like fuck he can't do shit til it's healed so he'll inevitably gain weight again, add to that once this has happened the ankle can become weaker as a result... done this exact thing on the same ankle about 5 times
15
Same. Takes a while to regain confidence in an ankle after something like that. I still remember when I did it to my ankle the first time, and 20 years on I still have that ankle being about 50% bigger than my other ankle. :\
5
same, it's pretty much the reason i switched from football(soccer) to boxing. My ankles were bust.
2
You could just use a brace
1
He should still be able to do light work on an exercise bike, but yeah, this is a major derailment.
2
I had the same issue but I started wearing those heavy duty ankle braces and never had a bad sprain again while playing basketball... Twisted it a few times but never fully rolled it.
1
Yeah, postponed.

Fucking hell
3
How exactly did this happen?
3
Doesn't really look like something you'd get boxing... Looks like scrapes on the shin side.
-1
Thats what happens when you sprain your ankle.
3
When I think sprain, I think hard bending not scrapes. Looks like he closed it in a car door or something.
0
What are you talking about scrapes?? Theres a monstrous bruise running down his ankle, do you not see that?
1
That scrape could be from him falling after the sprain. All that purple you see is blood rushing to the injured areas from the sprain. If your ankle changes colors like that then it's definitely a sprain you can't just walk off and be ok a week later.
1
Probably fell when he sprained his ankle like that... I know I did and mine wasn't nearly as bruised.
-1
"S"
2
Just a scratch...........
1
I wonder who has the record for longest time holding a world title without defending that title? With this injury it's going to be over a year that he got the title and hasn't had the chance to defend it.
1
over a year? they fought in december, I guess the match is going to be postponed to a date before december..
1
Oh wow, you're right I thought it was last summer for some reason.

Wiki says November 28
1
November then.
1
Why are so many people so excited about this fight? Its total garbage!
Even the editing for the HBO Teaser show several moments where they each throw a punch and were about to hug. If nobody saw the first fight, see it and tell me what you think when you wake up. This fight is terrible, the event looks fun as hell though.
1
It's not exciting, but it's significant. I'm interested in seeing if Fury can pull the same thing off again
7
Im with you on the significant part, it could be the passing of the torch (at least temporarily) I just cant stand 2 punches hold, 1 punch hold, hold and hit, dance and hold, one punch hold. The old klitscho, which was the younger klitscho, wouldve knocked him out. This is like watching Erik Morales vs Danny Garcia 2. The younger Morales wouldve KTFO Danny in 3 rds.
1
For sure. I'm probably just going to read the summary and see who wins.
2
No. 1 and No. 2 going at it again? First fight wasn't interesting other than the tension of the heavyweight title changing hands. Wlad as challenger and promising to be more aggressive is a interesting dynamic.
2
Yea but he's not going to be more aggressive. Wlad is a slow mechanical and methodical fighter thats overly cautious and is ok with winning a safe decision. See: El Chacal (quicker hands)
I hope Im wrong and yall see a kick ass fight but Klitscho is a slow methodical robot.
1
Tell that to Pulev
2
Purely because of the significance.
1
Fat Dan reckons that's an old pic and Fury just hasn't been taking his training seriously:
1
Fat Dan also thinks clenbuterol is a steroid so there's that lol. He must give great headjobs or something...
3
Those nails eew
1
I injured my ankle and it wasn't anywhere near that bad and it's taken two to heal 90%
1
Ugh. That makes me queasy. Tore some ligaments in my ankle a few years back. Getting sympathy pains. That's no joke. Honestly, 6 - 7 weeks may not even be enough. I wasn't able to so much as jog for six months.
1
Isn't this considered as NSFW?
1
Sprained ankles are no joke. Busted my ankle playing indoor soccer and this shit takes a lot of time to heal. Weight will be gained so this fight will be postponed for a while boys.

Holy shit you are fat

That's why you do leg work outs. LOL jk. sucks, i wanted to see this fight next month already.

Man, being a boxing fan is just one kick in the nuts after another.
Hard to find any silver linings in the heavyweight division in particular. 3 world champions defending their belts in the last few months:
Joshua: hasn't been anywhere near a competetive boxing match. Will get another easy KO tomorrow night.
Wilder: Finally gets a competetive fight but it's against an obvious drugs cheat who got predictably busted.
Fury: Cancels the fight because of injury / low ticket sales / lack of motivation / mental illness.
Just when the division was starting to look interesting for the first time in 15 years!
Wait Povetkin was obvious? or is this just hindsight speaking?
Wouldn't klitschko and Joshua be far more obvious? Joshua has incredible mass and Wlad is one of the most ripped up massive 40 year olds in history.
It's obvious since they are all on the juice
[removed]
I wouldn't say it was obvious but it wasn't a huge shock either. A lot of people had been speculating that he was on something because his physique and endurance improved at an age that it typically doesn't.
Low ticket sales? Are you joking? I agree with everything but that, it was very hard to get tickets..
For the rematch? Only 12k tickets were sold for the Arena, they were horribly overpriced.
This sport has all the recipes for success but in all the wrong places and states.
