Just weeks out from his title rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, former undisputed WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury has denied rumors he had a dismal training camp before his May unification clash — laying all the props at the feet of the Ukrainian fan-favorite.
Fury, a former undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, saw his incredible 35-fight unbeaten professional run come to an end earlier this year, suffering a one-sided split decision loss to Usyk, as the Ukrainian puncher managed to become the undisputed divisional champion.
Tyson Fury denies rumors of a disrupted training camp ahead of first fight with Oleksandr Usyk
And slated to do battle once more in Saudi Arabia later this month, Morecambe native, Fury addressed rumors of a potentially derailed training camp ahead of their first matchup — claiming Usyk deserves all the props for his magnificent performance in the desert.
“I don’t make any excuses,” Tyson Fury told DAZN during a recent interview. “It was a fantastic training camp. Never once have I ever said I had any problems in camp. Because I didn’t. I’ve heard a lot of [*censored] talking sh** I had a lot of problems in camp. But I didn’t have no problems. I had a fantastic training camp. He beat me fair and square.”
“There’s no more talking to be saying, ‘Oh, well, I did this wrong. I did that wrong.’ I did nothing wrong,” Tyson Fury explained. “I did everything good. So did he. He got the decision; a split decision, cat’s whisker in it. If I would’ve got the decision, great. He got the decision, fantastic. There’s not much to say, isn’t it? You know, am I going to go and change everything in me camp because I lost a split decision? Hell no.”
