John Fury has issued a stern warning to Tyson Fury’s team ahead of the upcoming bout with Oleksandr Usyk, expressing his dissatisfaction with the preparations following last year’s fight against Francis Ngannou. Noting a decline in strength, power, and physical condition during the Ngannou bout, Fury Sr. hopes this serves as a wake-up call for the training team. With the historic showdown against Usyk just a month away, he emphasizes the need for an impressive performance, stating that anything less than spectacular won’t suffice.

Reflecting on the Ngannou fight, Fury Sr. acknowledges the possibility of the team needing a motivational push and expresses optimism that they’ve identified and rectified past mistakes. While acknowledging Tyson’s veteran status, he underscores the importance of focusing on body strength and boxing fundamentals. Fury Sr. encourages the team to gel on the night of the fight, emphasizing the significance of a stellar performance.

Despite the critique, Fury Sr. extends good wishes to both fighters and hopes for an exceptional night for the fans. He believes Tyson’s experience in the game is invaluable, emphasizing the importance of sticking to what works and expressing confidence that Tyson knows what needs to be done. Looking ahead, Fury Sr. mentions Francis Ngannou’s upcoming bout with Anthony Joshua, attributing the opportunity to Tyson Fury’s previous match and suggesting that Joshua and Eddie Hearn owe thanks to “The Gypsy King” for opening that particular door.
