John Fury wants to replace Usyk in the rematch after being fired by Tyson Fury “I want to teach this bad boy”

In a surprising turn of events, John Fury, the father of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, has expressed his desire to step into the ring and replace Oleksandr Usyk in the highly anticipated rematch. This comes after John Fury revealed that he has been fired by his son Tyson from his coaching team. The elder Fury, known for his outspoken nature and fierce loyalty to his family, made this announcement in a fiery interview, declaring, “I want to teach this bad boy a lesson.”


The feud between the Furys and Usyk has been escalating ever since Tyson Fury’s controversial split decision victory over Usyk. The boxing world has been buzzing with rumors and speculations about the rematch, but John Fury’s latest statement adds a new twist to the ongoing saga.


“I’ve been in this sport for decades, and I know a thing or two about discipline and hard work,” John Fury said. “Tyson has decided to go a different direction, and that’s his choice. But if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s seeing disrespect and bad behavior go unpunished. Usyk needs to be taught a lesson, and I’m the man to do it.”

John Fury’s challenge has been met with mixed reactions from the boxing community. Some see it as a publicity stunt, while others believe that the elder Fury genuinely wants to step into the ring to defend his family’s honor. Despite being in his late 50s, John Fury has maintained a rigorous fitness regimen and has often been seen training alongside his son.

“Age is just a number,” John Fury insisted. “I’ve got the experience, the strength, and the heart. Usyk thinks he can intimidate and outclass anyone he faces, but he’s never faced someone like me. I’m not here for the fame or the money. I’m here to settle a score and show the world what the Fury name stands for.”

Tyson Fury has yet to publicly comment on his father’s statements, but insiders suggest that the decision to part ways was made to bring a fresh perspective into his training camp. Tyson’s focus remains on cementing his legacy and preparing for what promises to be one of the biggest fights in boxing history.

Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk’s camp has dismissed John Fury’s challenge as “ridiculous” and “unprofessional.” Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, issued a statement saying, “John Fury is not a professional boxer. This is a serious sport, and such antics have no place in it. We are focused on the rematch with Tyson Fury and nothing else.”

Despite the dismissal, John Fury remains undeterred. “Let them laugh,” he said. “But when I step into that ring, they’ll see I’m not joking. I have the heart of a lion, and I’m ready to roar.”

Whether this challenge will materialize into an actual fight remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Fury-Usyk saga has taken another dramatic turn, and the world will be watching closely as events unfold.
