In the aftermath of Tyson Fury‘s mega-fight against Francis Ngannou, John Fury, Tyson’s father, voiced substantial criticism targeting Tyson’s coaching team. This bout saw Tyson, a heavyweight boxing champion, barely secure a victory through a split decision against Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, who was a newcomer to boxing. Notably, Ngannou also floored the boxing veteran in the 3rd round to the dismay of Tyson Fury’s team and fans. John Fury‘s concerns were not just about the fight’s outcome; he pointedly critiqued the strategic planning and preparation.
John’s criticism primarily focused on SugarHill Steward, Tyson’s trainer, along with other team members, accusing them of placing financial considerations above the boxer’s well-being. John Fury in a recent interview let out his opinions regarding the underwhelming performance of his son against Ngannou.
John Fury had the following to say:
He lost 3 rounds against Ngannou cause the instructions he was getting were pathetic. You know, at the end of the day, people can only do what they can do. If they are not up to the job they are not up to it. But Tyson, he skilled he’s a vet and if the job ain’t working in the corner he’s gonna do what he does best

The implications of the Fury-Ngannou fight extend beyond the immediate result, casting a shadow on Tyson Fury’s reputation within the heavyweight boxing world. The expectation was for Tyson to easily dominate, however, Ngannou’s formidable resistance not only challenged Tyson but also sparked widespread debates. The split decision, which some labeled as controversial, has fueled discussions about Tyson’s position in the heavyweight division.
Therefore, Tyson Fury faces a pivotal moment in his career, influenced heavily by his father’s critique. The upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk, a fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship poses a challenge to Fury and his ability to maintain his legacy. As Tyson gears up for this and other future challenges, John Fury could put out his concerns and reassess his son’s training and management strategies.
