John Fury has given his assessment on his son Tyson ahead of the showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk collide in February next year and ‘Gypsy John’ believes his son will have to be in much better shape.
Speaking to the Metro via Free Bets UK, Fury said:
“The 17th February is the date they have got to work towards.
“But in my opinion, Tyson needs a bit more time to get his conditioning right and his weight right.

“For me it looked like he had lost 20lbs of muscle last time. Something was wrong.”
He continued: “For my money, his last three fights, I have seen a bit of decline. Not a decline in ability but a decline in strength, power and physical condition.
“I don’t know what they are doing up there, you have to address it. He didn’t look himself out in Saudi.
“He didn’t look right, everything had changed about him, his demeanour, his body. I was puzzled.
“He said he had been training but there is training and there is training.
“If you’re going at your own pace no one is going to tell you otherwise, no one is going to offend you or kick you up the backside.
“No one can teach Tyson how to box, or teach him more than he knows. All they can do is put some muscle on there and make his body rock solid.
“For my money he looked fat-thin, he should have been better, a bit heavier with a lot more muscle.
“Tyson is a mammoth fella. He needs to power up in the body department and the only way you do that is a proper course and they take time and we don’t have the time.”
6 weeks of boot camp in Army Rehab will turn him into pure fighting muscle. They can work miracles in 6 weeks!
How long does he have to train?
Usyk will be way to fast for Tyson. Even if he did muscle up. Usyk to win. For me.
Usyk will win he’s like greased lightning
