The cut he sustained in sparring just two weeks from the bout required 14 stitches and saw the fight postponed till May 18.
Astonishingly, Fury faced baseless accusations that he set the whole thing up with Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas branding him a “coward.”
But his Hall of Fame promoter Warren came out swinging in defence of the Gypsy King.
He said on talkSPORT: “This is the fella that went to Germany to fight [Klitschko] for the world title and beat him.
“This is the guy that went out [to America] to fight a guy that was undefeated in Deontay Wilder – six years reigning as heavyweight champion.
“The hardest punching heavyweight recorded and went out not once, but fought three times out there.
“Do me a favour, it’s pathetic, and professional fighters should know better.”
Carl Froch has been quick to blame Fury for the cut due to the headguard he was wearing.
And American former world champion Timothy Bradley even insinuated the injury could have been staged.
Still Fury – who needed a controversial split-decision against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in his last fight – has retained the backing of his promoter against Usyk.

Warren said: “I do think that he will beat him, I think Tyson is the best heavyweight on the planet.
“His last fight against Ngannou, he wasn’t at his best, but he came through and won the fight.”
