Overview
- John Fury confirms he will neither attend nor watch Tyson Fury’s return against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11, a bout slated for a Netflix-streamed card.
- He argues Tyson is past his best, saying the Deontay Wilder trilogy took a lasting toll and calling Makhmudov a genuine threat.
- He castigates trainer SugarHill Steward and the wider camp, questioning their methods and influence over Tyson’s preparation.
- He warns that without him present the corner may not stop a dangerous fight, saying his son could face severe harm if trouble arises.
- The rupture follows John’s reduced role since the first Oleksandr Usyk fight and removal from the rematch corner, despite his initial appearance at last month’s comeback press conference.
