Fury Sr. is dissatisfied with Tyson’s preparation for the fight with Usik: “This is a circus, not a camp”

John Fury, father of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, criticized his son’s team before the fight with the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexander Usik.

“I never said that my son went into a recession, because he didn’t. It's about the people around him who aren't particularly up to par. He has a slump in training, and an even bigger slump in training camp. This is not a camp, but a circus.

I saw him getting ready in a gym in Saudi Arabia, watched him sparring 3-4 rounds with a couple of guys. I knew that the fight with Ngannou would be difficult for Tyson. I thought, ‘What are you doing?’ I was worried, I’m still worried. He needs to regain the eye of the tiger, return to the old methods, feel hunger, sweat, blood and tears again. The fact is that the Mustache goes through sweat, blood and tears. And he is surrounded by disciplined, professional, excellent people. I don’t think there are any like that near Tyson. I really think so. If Tyson doesn’t make changes, he could lose,” Fury Sr. said.

Let us remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
