Will John Fury Step Back to Help Tyson Reclaim His Throne?
As Tyson Fury prepares for his highly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, former world champion Ricky Hatton is urging a significant change in Fury's corner. Hatton believes that John Fury, Tyson's father, should take a backseat to avoid the confusion that plagued the corner during the first fight in May. The rematch, set for December 21st, comes after Usyk narrowly defeated Fury via split decision, becoming the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.
The confusion in Fury's corner during the first fight was a major talking point, with SugarHill Steward, Andy Lee, and John Fury all giving instructions, some of which contradicted each other. Hatton, speaking to Action Network, emphasized the need for a single voice during the one-minute breaks between rounds. "I think it’s fantastic to have two people in the corner... but in the one-minute interval, you need to have one speaker," Hatton said.
Despite Hatton's advice, Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, stated that no changes would be made to the corner team. However, he hinted at other adjustments in training. "There'll be some other stuff that he'll be looking at training-wise," Brown said. With the first fight being so close, the pressure is on Fury to make the necessary changes to reclaim his title.
As the rematch approaches, all eyes will be on how Fury's team adjusts their strategy. Will John Fury take a step back to allow Steward to take full control in the corner, or will the same issues arise? One thing is certain: the rematch promises to be another thrilling chapter in heavyweight boxing history.
