Johnny Nelson believes boxing fans have already seen the end of his reign Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). “There are only two options. Either Tyson behaved completely unprofessionally during his preparation, or he lost ...

“And since Fury himself claims to have trained for twelve weeks, that to me means he has lost a big advantage in footwork and his time at the top is coming to an end. Plus, even if he underestimated Ngannou, his footwork and straight left jab should be enough for someone like Ngannou,” Nelson added.

“Tyson has surrounded himself with people who are afraid to tell him the truth, and this will make it difficult for him to reign at the top. For me he is the best heavyweight in the world, but there are too many suckers in his camp. He is gradually losing certain advantages, that is, his legs, and therefore his unconventional fighting style,” Nelson said.

Let us remind you that the fight between WBC champion Fury and IBF, WBA and WBO champion Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs) is now scheduled for February 2024 in Saudi Arabia.
