Warren says Wilder v Fury 2 is highly likely to be delayed due to required plastic surgery to the facial damage.
“If it doesn’t heal well the fight may have to be pushed back,” Warren said to the*BBC. “Hopefully that will not be the case.
“It depends how it heals. If it’s OK it won’t be a problem. It’s not just the fight, it’s the training and sparring. He has to be 100% right.
“We are waiting for a plastic surgeon to come and stitch his eye.
“The cut hampered his performance but, at the end of the day, he prevailed. He will have micro-surgery on the cuts due to one above the eye and one on the eye-lid.
“It gave Wallin a lot of heart,” concluded the Hall of Famer.
