Johnny Nelson raised a few eyebrows when he claimed he had a mole in Tyson Fury’s camp ahead of his undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
The former cruiserweight champion had said that ‘The Gypsy King’s’ preparation for the bout with the Ukrainian was poor and alluded to having inside information.
But it turns out that Nelson was using concerns said publicly by Tyson’s father John Fury and brother Shane Fury as his sources.

Speaking on TalkSPORT boxing he said: “Do you wanna know who the mole is? His dad and his brother – they are the mole.”
“Because listen, I said nothing his dad hasn’t said.
“I’ve said nothing his brother hasn’t said, okay I might have sprinkled a bit of seasoning on it, but what I’m saying is it’s on record – his dad was saying the camp’s this, that and the other.
“It’s on record his brother’s said there’s too many back-slappers there.”
Nelson added: “Tyson’s not an idiot, but Tyson is the head of the snake – so they’ve all got to behave themselves because they want to stay on that payroll.
“So they’re gonna tell him what they think [he wants to hear] to ingratiate themselves around him.
“His brother and his dad – they’re his [real] people and they don’t like these people that are around, and they’re not happy.
“But them people that are around are thinking, ‘I’m getting paid good, so I’m gonna tell you what you want.’
“I don’t dislike Tyson Fury, I just call out his BS, I don’t dislike him.
“Those people around him are saying, ‘Johnny Nelson this, Johnny Nelson that,’ I don’t dislike Tyson Fury because I think he’s the best heavyweight in the world.
“But you’ve got people in your ear chatting foolishness just because that fits their agenda.
“Listen to your dad, listen to your brother – they are the ones speaking the truth, they’re the moles.”
Tyson Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk on May 18th to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion.
