Tyson Fury put in a subpar performance against Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia last weekend.
‘The Gypsy King’ was nowhere near his best as he turned in one of his most lacklustre performances in recent times. But ultimately he got the win over Francis Ngannou via a razor-thin split-decision from the judges.
Malik Scott, who is the trainer of Fury’s old foe Deontay Wilder believes fighting the hard-hitting American three times has taken its toll on Fury.

Scott speaking to FightHype said:
“Even Fury believes the Deontay Wilder fights changed him.”
“You don’t have three fights with Wilder and it doesn’t change you. Every fight he’s had with Deontay, these weren’t one or two-round fights. He’s gone over 24 rounds with the hardest puncher in the history of the sport. People are highlighting the times he got knocked down, but what about the punches he was taking in the fight, taking good shots and coming back. Those shots are damaging too.”
Fury is just running scared now using excuses to avoid fights and to avoid having to face Francis noggin later on in a rematch he bragged no one born could beat him now he is running scared and getting a yellow streak down his back.
Dummy he is fighting Usyk in February. Usyk who has 2 of the titles. Shut up and stop commenting about something you know nothing about troll.
This guy 🤣. Fights wilder 3 times but he’s running scared of people now yea? Too many casuals now. 🙄
He didn’t even say this…wilders camp did to try and stay relevant.
Why don’t you fight him since you think you can talk smack about him?
Fury doesn’t make excuses, he tells things like they are, he may be a bit cocky at times but very much a sportsman that shows class, more so than most fighters.
Let’s see Usyk fight Wilder. Oh wait, nit a chance coz he knows Wilder will kill him..
No one is giving mike any credit. He taught his guy haw to keep him off him.He watched led fury’s videos and taught him how to keep fury from laying on him.
