Tyson Fury's family disagreement over dad John ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch
Tyson Fury refutes that his father's presence is partially to blame for his loss to Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.
Tyson's former trainer and uncle, Peter Fury, lambasted his brother, John, after the 'Gypsy King's' initial loss to the undefeated Ukrainian in May, in which, Usyk bested the at the time WBC champion in a narrow split-decision win. John was one of the loudest voices in Tyson's corner during the bout, telling his son that he was winning the fight going into the 12th round.
However, Peter was quick to criticise his brother's choice of words during the fight, telling October Red: "Some can be too emotional in the corner, someone is giving the wrong advice ‘you’re winning it’.

"I don’t know what the situation is, but clearly, for me, the game plan was wrong and there were too many people in the corner. Whichever of them one, two or three, only one of them should have been doing the speaking. Whichever one it was, just one, not three or four, because, how can you listen to that?"
However, Tyson has since explained that his team will not change headed into the upcoming rematch with
