Joshua Fury

John Fury, father of Tyson Fury has warned British heavyweight Anthony Joshua against fighting his son. ‘The Gypsy King’ picked up the WBC title on Saturday night, bringing a potential undisputed bout with three-belt holder ‘AJ’ one step closer.

Speaking to IFL TV, Fury senior questioned Joshua’s heart and repeated Top Rank promoter Bob Arum in saying world champion is not really a fighting man.

“Listen AJ this is to you. I’m saying nothing wrong about you as a person, you’re a lovely young man. You’ve done a lot for your country; you’ve got the belts. But I’m only talking in boxing terms and in fight terms and I don’t think you’re a true fighting man. Bob Arum said the same thing, I was thinking it long before Bob Arum said it.

He then went on to send a warning to Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn about avoiding his son at all costs. Otherwise they risk bringing an end Joshua’s lucrative boxing career.

“You’re a nice guy, you
look well, you’ve got a big future but when it comes down to the beating,
fighting lion heart I don’t think you’ve got it. So, don’t mess with Tyson
Fury. Keep your belts, go and fight other people but don’t mess with Tyson
unless its worth your while, because let me tell you it’ll be the last time you
ever box if you mess with him. He will wreck you! 19 stone, 6’9ft wrecking
machine who will not stop coming forward. But he’ll come forward at you educated
and he’ll punish you and he’ll school you and he’ll break your heart. He’ll
make your life a misery and your life will never be the same again. So, think
on. Eddie Hearn that’s to you as well.”

Who do you think would win if Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua meet?

Tyson Fury Urged To Retire By Key Team Member

John Fury, father and former trainer of Tyson Fury has urged his son to retire.

John Fury, father and former trainer of Tyson Fury has urged his son to retire. His call comes after ‘The Gypsy King’ captured the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight world titles by beating American powerhouse Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend – 14 months on from their controversial draw. During which Fury dominated the fight but suffered two late knockdowns which swayed the judges to giving Wilder a portion of the decision. There was no doubt this time as Fury battered his man from the opening bell, ultimately securing the seventh round stoppage win.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain Fury’s dad said his son has achieved all he can in boxing and should now call it a day, to spend time with his wife and five children, he said.

“I want my son to retire now. He’s done enough. It’s been an
uphill battle for him. He’s done enough. I want him to pack it in now.

“I think it’s in the back of his mind. He can’t do anymore. He’s
won every professional title. Enough is enough. There’s more to life now. He’s
given it his all. He’s got no more to prove. He’s proved he’s
been a worthy champion from this country. He’s been 13 years as a pro and he’s
always been the opponent.

“Whatever he’s gone into, it’s been an uphill battle
for him. He’s 32 years old. He’s got a young family and I do believe his
children deserve their father. He’s done enough and that’s my opinion.”

Fight fans around
the world will be hoping 31-year-old Tyson doesn’t listen to his father on this
occasion. An all-British heavyweight mega-fight with WBO, IBF and WBA champion
Anthony Joshua is still to be made.

Until Fury has claimed the win over his long-term domestic rival many people will argue that his career is not complete. Let’s hope the man himself feels the same. (Transcribed by Daily Mirror)

Tyson Fury’s father John was not impressed whatsoever by his son’s performance against Otto Wallin on Saturday night.

Fury maintained his undefeated record with a unanimous decision victory over Wallin in Las Vegas. However, it was far from easy as Wallin was a game opponent who even opened up two early cuts near Fury’s right eye.

And for John, it was a case of a bad camp and he believes trainer Ben Davidson and the rest of the team is to blame:

“I don’t know how he has taken the cut in the third and made it to the 12th,” the senior Fury said in a BT Sport interview (transcript via MMA Mania). “It has gone terribly wrong in the camp and someone is to blame. Tyson never landed a meaningful punch. If Tyson had been in front of one of the top-three or Alexander Povetkin, he would not have won. I am a straight talker and that is the worst I have ever seen him.

“I have half an idea what went wrong but I cannot share it. He has done an eight-week camp but his strength and power have gone. He was as weak as a kitten. His body looked a lot softer tonight. He is not an 18 stone fighter, he wants to be body beautiful. I have seen this coming. I saw this coming. If he keeps hold of that team, that whole team, they will cost him his career. Ben Davidson and everyone.

”The cutman is the only one who can take any credit. it was like a shark’s mouth. If this was not his show, if he was the away fight, he would have been gone.”

Harsh words from the senior Fury but Davidson responded in a respectful manner:

“John is Tyson’s dad so of course you have to respect him,” Davidson said. “But Tyson was fully prepared and you can’t do anything about sustaining a bad cut. Just because he’s gone 12 rounds it doesn’t mean he’s weak. If he was weak he wouldn’t have been able to do 12 rounds there.”

What do you make of Fury’s performance and his father’s comments?
