“It let me to sleepless nights and that went on for about four weeks because I had the mindset of I’m gonna keep training, I’m gonna get through this, I’m gonna have the fight no matter what,” continued Fury. “And four weeks passed and we decided to have a sparring sessions and I took a little clip to the body and because my body was so weak due to the virus inside of me…I instantly knew something wasn’t right. I was throwing up from the pain. I was doubled over. I literally got my bag and went straight to the hospital, straight from an MRI scan and I got the results back the same day and the results uncovered that I had a clean break in my rib and I had multiple fractures.”
