The London red carpet media launch for Tyson Fury’s mega millions fight in Saudi Arabia next month glistened all the more vividly as a candidate for the undercard suffered a cut eye on his arrival.<\/p>\n
Fabio Wardley walked into a brawl with projected British heavyweight title opponent David Adeleye and his minders.<\/p>\n
One of the latter threw a punch which caught Wardley on his sun glasses, which nicked his left eye and sent the claret spurting.<\/p>\n
Videos of the incident appeared on social media shortly afterwards and clearly show Wardley being sent to the ground after being caught by Adeleye’s team.<\/p>\n
The scuffle came just moments before a bout between the two fighters, on the undercard of Fury-Ngannou, was announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The British heavyweight was caught by one of the members of David Adeleye’s team<\/p>\n

Adeleye (pictured) was not the one to instigate the bout against his upcoming opponent<\/p>\n
Once the scuffle ended WBC world heavyweight champion Fury and former UFC giant Francis Ngannou set about selling their cross over boxing match in Riyadh on October 28<\/p>\n
Both insisted this will be a genuine fight, not the enriching exhibition making of themselves which many critics believe.<\/p>\n
Which made the name of the third promoter of the Saudi spectacular a delicious irony<\/p>\n
Frank Warren’s Queensberry and Bob Arum’s Top Rank were joined on the rostrum by Ngannou’s… Gimmick Promotions.<\/p>\n
That did not say it all. Fury argued: ‘I’m going to be in fantastic condition for a very dangerous fight with the man they call the biggest puncher in all combat sports.<\/p>\n
‘Because if I did get beat by an MMA fighter I would never be able to show my face in public again.’<\/p>\n
