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.

Boxing Rankings Stir Controversy as Canelo Alvarez Secures Top 5 Pound-for-Pound Spot, Sparking Outcry Among Fans

Image
  Canelo Álvarez, an undeniable modern-day legend in boxing, finds himself under scrutiny in recent times, with public opinion questioning his choice of opponents since his loss against Dmitry Bivol. The controversy escalated when DAZN shared Ring Magazine's top five pound-for-pound list, positioning Canelo in the fourth spot, while Dmitry Bivol, who defeated him, was ranked lower. This ranking decision sparked considerable debate and criticism.   Canelo's last bout saw him secure a dominant unanimous decision victory over Jermell Charlo in September of the previous year. In contrast, Bivol added another win to his record by defeating Lyndon Arthur. The inclusion of fighters on the list, which featured Terence Crawford, Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk, Canelo Álvarez, and Artur Betrbiev in that order, drew varied opinions from fans. However, the focal point of criticism was Canelo's presence on the list and Bivol's absence, perhaps intensified by Canelo being the only o

Hearn: Joshua Dominated Wallin, I'm Confident He'll Repeat the Performance Against Ngannou

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom encountered no hurdles in persuading his star boxer, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, to step into the ring against MMA veteran Francis Ngannou. Initially, Joshua was set to face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in a highly anticipated bout. However, this plan hit a snag when Joseph Parker scored an unexpected twelve-round unanimous decision victory over Wilder on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Joshua, appearing in the main event of that card, halted Otto Wallin. Hearn shared insights, stating, “Look, we were due to announce the Deontay Wilder fight in the ring that night. Both guys had signed a contract to announce the fight, and [Turki Alalshikh] was very excited. Obviously, it was one of the most highly anticipated fights that could be made this fall. It’s four years in the making, everyone was really excited. Obviously, Deontay Wilder lost. So from that moment, the cogs are turning in [Alalshikh’s] mind, ‘What are we going to do

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
