Tyson Fury is currently preparing for his match against Arslanbek Makhmudov next month. But the boxer may have other stuff on his mind – namely the apparent fallout with his dad John Fury. The latter recently spilt the tea on the pair’s relationship (spoiler alert: it’s not good), while also getting a dig in about his son’s chances of winning.
John Fury gave an honest update on where he stands with his son Tyson
The Beckhams aren’t the only celeb family locked in a feud. Things are seemingly pretty tense between the Furys, too. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, patriarch John revealed he isn’t on good terms with Tyson.
He said: “My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely.”
He also made a point of clarifying that he’s never asked his heavyweight son for money. He said: “I’ve never taken £10 off him in my life and I never will. I don’t want Tyson’s money and I don’t need Tyson’s money. Don’t forget who built his story when he was a kid. He didn’t build it himself, did he? Me, his father [did].”
Tyson is due to face off against Arslanbek on April 11. But John says he won’t be watching. In fact, he doesn’t think his son has a chance of winning the fight. He told the publication Tyson is “past his best,” adding: “Tyson has been gone since the Deontay Wilder fights, they finished him.”
John said he worries about Tyson’s safety and has doubts over his team, who he referred to as “b*tches.”
He warned: “If he gets into trouble with them in his corner, he could end up dead or with brain damage for life.”
Meanwhile, Tyson’s brother, Tommy Fury, remains locked in his own feud with fellow boxer KSI.
