Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) has received a wave of criticism for his team selection before his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, or rather the number of them. Many have spoken out about it in his time, especially loudest of all his father John. However, the former two-time world heavyweight champion does not intend to give in to the voices from the outside.

No changes are going to be made to his team by Fury, and his angle remains the same. Javan "Sugar" Hill will remain the head coach, although he will probably only work with the Brit in the gym. During the fight, everyone will be on the same level, which "Gypsy King" does not want to change.

This information was confirmed by Spencer Brown, Fury's manager. So along with Fury Sr. and Hill, his brother Shane Fury and Andy Lee will also be working in the corner.

Tyson will get a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) on Dec. 21 in Riyadh, although only three of the four featherweight championship belts will be on the line this time.

"There will be changes, but not in the team and not in the coaching staff. I believe you will see a better version of Tyson in the rematch," stated Spencer Brown.
