Tyson Fury has fuelled fresh injury concerns ahead of his December 11 fight against Anthony Joshua after posting a video on social media in which he appeared to have a black eye.\n<\/p>\n
The heavyweights will meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in front of more than 70,000 fans, just over a month after the clip surfaced.\n<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old, who is training in Miami for the bout, recorded the video on Friday to wish his friend and sparring partner, Kevin Lerena, success against Scotland\u2019s Scott Forrest on Saturday night. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the mark on the left side of his face.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cTyson Fury here. This is a message for my brother Kevin Lerena. Good luck on your fight, Kev. Do the business. I just want to say Tyson Fury, the \u2018Gypsy King,\u2019 is behind the \u2018Lerena Army.\u2019 If you are watching it in South Africa, head over to SuperSport,\u201d Fury said in the clip.<\/p>\n
The video came a day after former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno said he had heard whispers that Fury was carrying an injury that could affect the fight.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Fight Your Corner with ex-cruiserweight Tony Bellew, Bruno said, \u201cI looked at him the other day, and I think someone was talking to me in the gym that he\u2019s got some injury, which may stop him from going into the fight with Anthony Joshua? And having that on your head ain\u2019t nice.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Bellew dismissed the talk as part of Fury\u2019s usual routine.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe plays up to the camera, Frank\u2026 I do think Tyson Fury is the master of the mind games,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
Fury returned from retirement this year with a points win over Arslanbek Makhmudov in London in April, before stopping Poland\u2019s Mariusz Wach in July.\n<\/p>\n
Fury\u2019s father, John, has already voiced worries about the fight. In the BBC Sport series, Rivals: Fury v Joshua, recorded shortly before the bout was announced, he said, \u201cI hope it never happens. They will get that much stick; the loser, they will not be able to cope with it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Promoter, Eddie Hearn, disagreed, describing it as \u201cone of the biggest sporting events, if not the biggest, sporting event Britain has ever seen.\u201d The documentary will be available on BBC iPlayer from Tuesday, November 10.\n<\/p>\n
