Tyson Fury Rewards Cutman For Work on Eye Against Wallin

Credit to 🥊| Danny Z |🥊for getting this interview on his podcast. Daniel and I worked together on a smaller site that went under but he and I have covered combat sports since 2014. His focus is boxing, mine MMA but I do watch and write a lot about boxing for one of the sites I contribute to.

Occasionally we catch up on the phone and he told me about his interview with Fury’s cutman when we spoke. I checked out the episode and thought it was worth writing about. Check it out below:

Tyson Fury pulled off a win last weekend when he faced Otto Wallin. However, when Fury received a nasty cut over his right eye that could have cost him the fight. This is where Fury’s cutman; Jorge Capetillo put his skills to the test.

Fury would win by decision but when fighters appear as damaged as Fury did; there will always be speculation about how the judges decided it. Fury had a hero in Capetillo who earned a bonus from Fury after doing solid work on what Capetillo says is the worst cut he has ever seen in a clip from TMZ. When appearing on The Last Round podcast, Capetillo elaborated on why Fury likely felt like rewarding him for his composure when the cut happened and not causing any alarm in Fury’s corner.
