Tyson Fury to inform coach ‘sod you’ as camp row breaks out forward of Usyk combat
Tyson Fury will inform coach SugarHill Steward ‘sod you’ if the directions from his camp are failing to work in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk, father John Fury says. Fury Snr has been outspoken about Steward’s work along with his son, believing the directions given throughout the boxer’s slim win over Francis Ngannou final yr have been “pathetic”.
Fury faces Usyk on February 17 and is making ready to defend his heavyweight titles. However, John has not been satisfied by the staff’s strategy.
He believes Tyson is assured to win as soon as he “smells the coffee”, and has backed his son to provide you with his personal plan on the spot if the staff’s directions fail to ship a greater efficiency than they did in opposition to Ngannou.
“If he’s woken up and smelt the coffee, it’ll be a Tyson win. If he hasn’t, good luck to the other team. The best team and the best man will win on the night. Can I compare SugarHill and with what I’m seeing with the rest of the team, with Usyk? From the last showing, definitely not. Everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt,” Fury Snr instructed the Daily Star.
“But if they get it wrong, it’s a bad place to be wrong, the Heavyweight undisputed Championship of the World. It’s a bad place for an error.
“But Tyson’s that good, his balls are that big, and he’ll just say, ‘sod you’, just get me a drink and let me do my own thing. Like he did in the last three rounds with Ngannou. The instructions he was getting last time were pathetic.
“At the end of the day, people can only do what they can do. Tyson’s skilled and if the job ain’t working in the corner, he’s gonna do what he does best – use his own brain and do what works for him.”
Fury Snr has warned Steward that he should begin impressing if he’s to be satisfied of his potential to coach Fury Jnr. he was pissed off that Fury didn’t “look the part” in opposition to Ngannou, with the heavyweight champion squeezing previous the MMA fighter with a break up choice.
“They’ve got to give it a 100 per-cent improvement. Anything less, well, they’ve dropped the ball, haven’t they? Whether they can or whether they can’t, I don’t know. What I heard last time, it was all about this 12-week camp… all they need to do is start impressing me,” Fury Snr continued.
“They want to start next month on the 17th, and if they don’t then it’s Tyson’s own fault. There’s nobody else to blame, only him. I voiced my opinion. I’m not the brains of Britain, but I’ve been around this game a long time, and you’ve got to work, haven’t you? You’ve got to have some muscle in your frame, you’ve got to be strong and you’ve got to look the part.
“He just didn’t in his last fight against Ngannou, not taking anything away from Francis. He did a marvellous job, a much better job than I thought he would do. But then again, he’s had Mike Tyson training him – an all-time great himself.”
Earlier this month, Steward hit back at Fury Snr after the latter said his son was in “decline”. American Steward compared the criticism surrounding his client to that faced by Mike Tyson in the peak of his career.
“Everybody has their own opinion,” he instructed Boxing King Media. “Somebody is always going to have something negative to say.
“Even when Mike Tyson was knocking everyone out he had criticism. There is all the time going to be criticism in life and the whole lot you do.
“Simple as that for me. I don’t give it some thought too laborious.”
