Fury's father admits he saw signs of decline in his son

John Fury, father of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is concerned about his son’s form on the eve of the fight with the owner of the other three belts in the division Alexander Usik.

“February 17 is the date for which they must prepare. However, in my opinion, Tyson needs a little more time to gain the right shape and weight. He seemed to have lost about 20 pounds of muscle mass. Something didn't go according to plan.

In recent fights, I saw a certain decline in Tyson. Not a loss of skills, but a decrease in strength levels, power and deterioration in physical condition. I don’t know what his team is doing there, but they have to figure it out. Tyson was not himself in Saudi Arabia,” Metro quotes Fury Sr.

Let us remember that on October 28, Fury barely defeated Francis Ngannou by split decision, having been knocked down during the fight.
