Tyson Fury was so grateful for the work his cut man did in keeping his fight against Otto Wallin going that he gave him a cash bonus.
The Briton was in danger of seeing last weekend’s Las Vegas bout against the Swede called off by the doctor after suffering a nasty cut above his right eyelid in the second round.
Given the cut was opened up by a punch from Wallin, the unheralded 28-year-old would have walked away with a TKO victory – and Fury’s lineal heavyweight title.
“He gave me a bonus, that’s for sure,” Jorge Capetillo told TMZ Sports. “I saw him on Sunday morning at his house. I went to say ‘Hi’, to see how he was doing. He was so grateful, so happy. He’s a great human being. Yeah, he took care of me with a little bonus.”


Capetillo dutifully smothered the cut with vaseline in between rounds, with Wallin’s coach Joey Gamache instructing his fighter to target the deep wound.
Wallin even pawed at it with the thumb of his glove after one pull-apart by the referee, and the Swede even opened another deep cut on Fury’s eyelid.

“It was a big tub of vaseline. You know, he was cut deep, man,” the Mexican said. “First I added it to the skin. But what I wanted to do was to put more to hide it a little, so the doctor didn’t see it was too wide. It was wide, it was long.
“I wanted to make sure when he got punched, the vaseline goes in. So I was trying to put a lot of vaseline so the blood didn’t come into the eye.”
“I knew they could stop the fight. So I knew I had to keep it clean, because if the cut keeps clean, and it’s not pouring too much [blood], I know they’re gonna allow them to go round by round. I knew Fury was winning round by round. I knew about his capacity.”

Capetillo said it was the worst cut he had ever seen in the ring.
“Yeah, in the locker room he [Fury] came to me, hugged me really hard,” Capetillo said. “He said he loves me, said thank you for my effort, for my work to stop the bleeding so he could continue fighting. He showed me a lot of love.”
