Tyson Fury's Father Expresses Concern Over His Son's "declining" Training Camp and Worries that Oleksandr Usyk May Win an Upset Victory

 




Tyson’s father, John Fury, is concerned about his son's upcoming super fight, but not in the way people think.

Fury voiced worry over his son and his impending heavyweight title unification fight against Oleksandr Usyk in February 2024 in an interview with Seconds Out Boxing. The native Irishman referred to the WBC champion's training regimen as a "circus" and "not a camp."

Fury made a point to express his belief that his son's trainers and crew are more to blame than Tyson being on a "decline."

As stated by John Fury in the interview:

"I never said my son was in decline because he's not. It's the people around him who ain't up to much. His training's in decline and his camp's in a bigger decline. It's not a camp, it's a circus."

Fury went on to claim that because of Usyk's "disciplined" attitude to training, he "absolutely" believes he can win the undisputed heavyweight title bout.

Tyson Fury's trainer since 2019—SugarHill Steward—is the target of Fury's criticism. In 2019, Javan 'Sugar' Hill, the nephew of famous boxing trainer Emanuel Steward, had his name officially changed.

Neither Steward nor Tyson Fury have publicly addressed his father's concerning remarks.


When is the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Fight?

On February 17, 2024, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will unify the heavyweight titles in a historic bout that is expected to be among the biggest boxing matches in recent memory. The fight is scheduled to happen in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh.

Usyk is the current heavyweight champion of the WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF, while Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion. Both fighters have an undefeated record in professional combat; Fury has a 34-0-1 record against Usyk's 21-0 record.

The fight was originally slated to take place on December 23, but it was postponed after Fury defeated Francis Ngannou via split decision in October. Many believed that "The Gypsy King" had seen his prime after Fury and Usyk squared off in the ring following the "Battle of the Baddest."

The British heavyweight champion, Fury, declared his retirement following his victory over Dillian Whyte in April 2022, but he later made a comeback to defend the title against Derek Chisora.

Anthony Joshua Criticizes Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua didn't like the rude behavior Tyson Fury displayed this week in his interview with the well-meaning True Geordie on YouTube. Fury got mad when Geordie opined that Fury should have chosen a better opponent than Derek Chisora ​​to fight on December 3 on ESPN and BT Sport Box Office at London's Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. Rather than reasonably agree with Geordie and laugh it off, Fury cursed him out at the end of the interview, and let Geordie know that he wouldn't get a chance to have Fury on his show again. Fury made himself look really bad for going ballistic on Geordie, who basically pointed what the average fan feels about Fury's bad decision to propose beaten 38-year-old worker Chisora ​​as his next opponent instead of a respectable heavyweight that would give fans value for their hard-earned money spent to watch the fight.  It's safe to say that it's been a long time since a world heavyweight champion fought a challenger as poor as Chisora ​​...

Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis

The mega-fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta "Tank" Davis, according to Showtime CEO Stephen Espinoza, is "very near" to being set. The Tank-Ryan bout isn't finalized yet, according to Espinoza, because the TV networks need to be worked out. The battle between Tank (27-0, 25 KOs) who fights on Showtime, and Ryan Garcia, who fights on DAZN, doesn't serve the interests of either network for them to share the fight. Espinoza added that there is "a contract in place", but that there were still a few specifics that needed to be worked out. Despite Ryan having a sizable social media following on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, he is still not a big enough boxing star for a fight between him and Gervonta Davis to be one that will be lucrative for both competing networks DAZN and Showtime. What do you think about Garcia’s recent opponents?  Have they been of the caliber she should be going up against or are they old and past their primes...

Tank Davis Ignites Negotiations with Saudi Arabia, Requests Ferraris as Fuel for Haney Showdown

Image
Gervonta 'Tank' Davis has stirred the boxing world by expressing his displeasure with the Saudis and making unconventional demands. In a bold move, Tank has thrown down the gauntlet, insisting that the Saudis send him "two Ferraris" to initiate talks for a potential clash with WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney in Saudi Arabia. This demand goes beyond the usual negotiations, signaling Tank's assertion of his status as the star in the proposed bout, while casting Haney as the lesser B-side, a weight-bully opponent lacking drawing power. The request for expensive cars is symbolic, conveying Tank's belief that he deserves special treatment as the marquee attraction. It's not merely about material possessions; it's a message to the Saudis that Tank Davis is the headliner, and Haney is merely an adversary without the same star power. This strategic demand is just the beginning, as Tank is likely to seek a substantial financial package, potentially ...
