Tyson Fury Fires Shots At Dad John And Trainer Sugarhill Steward As He Reveals The Bad Advice They Gave Him During Fight

TYSON FURY revealed his frustration with his team after losing for the first time in his career to Oleksandr Usyk.

The loss, which came by split decision, saw Fury miss out on the chance to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999. The Brit came out the blocks well, with many feeling he took the majority of the opening six rounds.

But Usyk recovered excellently and there was a clear momentum shift in the eighth round, with all three judges unanimously agreeing that Usyk took rounds eight, nine, and ten.

A brilliant flurry of punches from Usyk in the ninth had Fury dazed and had it not been for his tall frame lurching onto the ropes, he likely would have hit the canvas. That saw him face a ten count as the ref controversially stopped Usyk from finishing off the Brit.

After the first loss of his 16-year professional career, it sounded as though Fury was questioning the advice given by father John Fury and American coach SugarHill Steward, after they apparently failed to warn Fury that his undefeated record and WBC title were on the line following Usyk’s mid-match rally.

Fury said: “I’m not a judge and I can’t judge a fight while I’m boxing it.

“If they’d said to me before the last round that I was down I would have gone and tried to finish it but everyone in the corner believed we were up.

“All I had to do was just keep boxing and keep doing what I was doing and I was getting it.”
