John Fury Reveals Rift with Tyson Fury Before His Comeback Fight
John Fury has publicly declared a breakdown in his relationship with Tyson Fury. The comments come ahead of Tyson’s scheduled comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov next month.
Family Rift and Financial Claims
In a recent interview with Playbook Boxing powered by Betway, John said boxing ruined their bond. He denied ever taking money from his son and said he does not want Tyson’s cash.
John also argued he played a central role in shaping Tyson’s early career. He insisted others now take credit for that work.
Trainer Criticism and Ring Form
John expressed doubts about Tyson’s current condition. He said three gruelling fights with Deontay Wilder took a toll on his son’s legs and effectiveness.
He also questioned advice from trainer SugarHill Steward, particularly during the first fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Tyson lost to Usyk in May 2024 and again in their December 2024 rematch.
Comeback Build-Up and Opponent Concerns
Tyson will fight Arslanbek Makhmudov in his next outing. John warned that Makhmudov will present a serious challenge.
At a face-off in April, Tyson and Makhmudov had a tense but playful moment. John said the only way Tyson will know his true condition is when the first bell rings.
Long-Term Outlook
John predicted Oleksandr Usyk would still want another bout by year-end. He added he expects Usyk to be in better form while Tyson declines.
