John Fury wasn’t impressed with Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder’s recent performances.
The pair were comfortably beaten by Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker in Saudi Arabia.
Many people thought Wallin would provide ‘AJ’ with a stern test following his performance against Tyson Fury in 2019.
Meanwhile Wilder and Fury had a memorable trilogy of fights but the American put in subpar performance and was outclassed by Parker.

John Fury gave his assessment on the pair and he believes the fights with his son, Tyson, has taken something out of both of them.
Speaking to SecondsOut he said: “Wallin was s*** scared of him. Fair play to AJ, he looked like a man on a mission.”
“Otto Wallin never turned up, just like Deontay Wilder never. I’ve never seen anything as bad as Deontay Wilder in my life to be honest with you.”
“I was looking at two different people in Wallin and Wilder – those were not the people who fought Tyson. Tyson probably took everything out of them.”
“AJ looked the part and done the job, so he’s earned his right a put a step forward to a mega fight with Tyson.”
He continued:”I don’t know what it is when [fighters] see these big muscular men, they need brown trousers.”
“When they see Tyson, a bit fat, doesn’t look much, they seem to bring their A-game and fight out of their skin.”
“But when they see AJ, 6ft 6ins, 18 stone, solid, looks the part, the plug goes out of them. If Ngannou doesn’t crap himself, it’ll be a good fight.”
