Tyson Fury was just scolded by his own father John Fury, “exposing” his tactics in the loss to Ngannou as well as warning about the danger of his match with Usyk in the upcoming historic title unification match…
Constantly following Tyson Fury closely, but for the first time after nearly a month since his son fought with former UFC king Francis Ngannou, father John Fury spoke up. This time, the “2.06m tall monster” Tyson Fury was scolded mercilessly by his father – who was also a professional boxer. “Dad” Fury “exposed the wrong arrogant tactic” and did not forget to warn his son that the title unification match with Usyk could mark an “unbelievable milestone” in Tyson Fury’s career.
“There were too many mistakes in that match (Tyson Fury – Ngannou). Tyson’s physical strength could have been better. Intentions, careful tactical calculations for the match… there was nothing. Even though in the end Tyson once again showed his usual best effort, but things could have been much better,” said John Fury in an exclusive interview on Mail Sport.

Before former king Ngannou was just getting his feet wet in professional boxing, Tyson Fury almost had a disaster in his undefeated career. The 35-year-old British boxer was punched to the ground by Ngannou in round 3. In the end, it seemed like he could breathe easy, but Tyson Fury had to go through 10 tense rounds with Ngannou.
Although two judges later scored 96-93 and 95-94 for Tyson Fury and only one scored 95-94 for Ngannou, it is clear that the match left behind fierce debates about “fair scores”. In the eyes of many people, including professional athletes, Ngannou deserves to win right at his debut on the professional boxing floor, instead of Tyson Fury continuing his unbeaten streak (34 wins, 1 draw).
The wrong strategy caused Tyson Fury to suffer and the result was a bruised eye
“From my perspective, Tyson did not train in the best way to prepare for the match with Ngannou. I don’t mean a physical issue, but a detailed technical and tactical plan for the fight. Tyson seemed like he was in the clouds somewhere.”
“Tyson should have fought like a boxer, moving smarter and more cunningly, but what happened in the end? Tyson tried to hit the head with the idea of ”smashing” a boxer who is likened to ” The bull weighs tons, “with a hammer as soft as candy”, John Fury analyzed.
“With his inherent level of boxing ability, Tyson only needs to focus on training his back legs along with the skills to dodge attacks, wriggle and then calmly attack. That is the way Tyson used to defeat Klitschko. If Tyson had done it right, Ngannou would have turned into a confused clown in the ring. But Tyson wanted to rush straight at his opponent and that method was basically stupid.”

Obviously, the 10 rounds with Ngannou not only helped Fury warm up after more than 10 months of not fighting, but more importantly, it was a “wake-up lesson” for the British boxer before entering the classic heavyweight title unification match. history with Oleksandr Usyk, the boxer is also undefeated (21 wins) and is certainly many times more dangerous in both theory and actual combat experience than Ngannou.
“Complacency appeared at Tyson’s training camp when people constantly said and thought that ‘Ngannou is an inexperienced beginner who just appeared in the boxing ring'”.
“People thought I knew everything at the training camp, but the truth is I didn’t know anything because at that time I was supporting Tommy Fury. When I got on the plane and saw pictures of Tyson sparring, I saw something.” People there won’t listen to me, but in the end Tyson needs to change, 180 degrees, to best prepare against Usyk if he doesn’t want to be punched and mark the first defeat in his career. “, John Fury warned.
Tyson Fury must change 180 degrees in both his professional preparation as well as his sense of properly evaluating the match and his opponent if he wants to survive against Usyk in the historic title unification match.
It is true that after 10 rounds with Ngannou, Tyson Fury is having many problems to deal with and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rated lower than the person who holds the 4 prestigious belts IBO, WBO, WBA and IBF, Usyk.
The Ukrainian puncher just knocked out the very strong boxer Dubois in August and is eager to take away Fury’s WBC belt and make his opponent taste the first defeat in his life. In contrast to Tyson Fury who always declares “big swords”, Usyk is very cold and reserved. But the 36-year-old boxer’s fists are really scary and Tyson Fury certainly understands it better than anyone.
