In the post, Fury told fans that the injury appeared after his third professional bout against Polish boxer, Przemyslaw Binienda. Fury says he has been managing the injury ever since including during his bouts against YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul in 2023.
On Wednesday, Fury wrote on Instagram: “Since 2019 I have been dealing with a hand injury that I’ve never spoken about/shared online.
“Since my third professional fight (with Binienda) I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all.
“For the last four weeks of my last camp I trained solely with my left hand until fight night.
“This morning I underwent the surgery I’ve been putting off for years as I know this is the only way my hand will heal and that I can move forward with my boxing career. I’m excited for my recovery journey and so ready to be back feeling and giving 100% in 2024.”
His partner, Molly-Mae Hague, with whom he shares one child, put heart emojis underneath the post. The couple announced the birth of their daughter Bambi last year and told followers of their engagement in July.
