The news spread quickly, Tyson Fury has responded to the shocking news that his father, John Fury, expressed interest in coaching his arch-rival, Oleksandr Usyk. The heavyweight champion, known for his outspoken personality, did not hold back his disbelief when he heard the revelation.
“Are you kidding me?” Tyson Fury exclaimed when asked about his father’s unexpected announcement. The news broke after John Fury publicly offered to coach Usyk for a potential rematch against his son, Tyson, even proposing a 50/50 split of Usyk’s prize money if they secured a victory.
John Fury, a prominent figure in Tyson’s boxing career, has been instrumental in his son’s success, providing guidance and support throughout his journey to becoming a world champion. The idea of John switching sides to help Usyk, one of Tyson’s fiercest competitors, has left many in the boxing community stunned.
“Honestly, I don’t know what to say,” Tyson Fury continued. “A father could do this to his son, it really shocked me to the point of speechlessness, I didn’t know if he was joking or telling the truth, because I fired him from his coaching position so he wanted revenge by collaborating with his son’s rival??” Tyson added: “I told this to my mother and she was also very shocked by this news. She also did not believe it and thought the press had embellished his statement.”
Usyk, known for his technical skill and strategic prowess, could benefit significantly from John Fury’s extensive experience and insider knowledge of Tyson’s training and fighting style.
Despite the drama, Tyson Fury remains focused on his career and upcoming challenges. “I’ve got my own path to follow,” he said. “Whether my dad is in my corner or not, I’m ready to face any opponent and prove why I’m the best in the world.”
What everyone is waiting for now is Usyk’s move on this news, whether the champion will dismiss John Fury’s proposal or will accept it in the surprise of boxing fans.
