“My relationship with Tyson is destroyed”: John Fury warns Tyson Fury return risky after Deontay Wilder damage and doubts Makhmudov fight | International Sports News
John Fury has made one thing very clear. He does not want his son, Tyson Fury, to step back into the boxing ring. Speaking openly before Tyson Fury’s reported April 11 fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov, John said their relationship is now “destroyed” and he will not attend or even watch the fight. He believes the damage from past fights, especially the three brutal bouts with Deontay Wilder, has already changed Tyson. At the same time, there is deep personal hurt between them. As reported by Daily Mail and Playbook Boxing, John feels pushed aside and unheard. What started as a boxing discussion quickly turned into something more emotional, showing both worry and pain.
John Fury questions Tyson Fury’s fitness after Deontay Wilder fights and explains why he fears Arslanbek Makhmudov bout
John Fury did not hold back when talking about his son’s current condition. He said, “I think he’s past his best. I’m a no-filter kind of guy – I say it how I see it.” He added that too many people around Tyson are telling him what he wants to hear instead of the truth.He believes the Deontay Wilder fights took something out of Tyson that cannot come back. “Tyson has been gone since the Deontay Wilder fights, they finished him. Wilder completely done him. He’s not got a leg underneath him,” he said, as quoted by Daily Mail.For John, this is not just opinion. It is a fear. He thinks Tyson’s legs, movement, and sharpness are not the same anymore. That is why he sees Arslanbek Makhmudov as a serious risk. “Makhmudov is a problem for Tyson. I am the first one to say it,” he said.Even though he is no longer part of Tyson’s team, John says he can still see the changes. He believes those long, hard fights have left a lasting effect on both body and mind. And in boxing, even a small drop can be dangerous.But this is not only about boxing. The bigger story is the broken bond between father and son.John said, “My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely.” He also made it clear he never depended on Tyson financially. “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.”Still, behind those strong words, there is pain. He feels Tyson chose other voices over him. “He’s taken their word over mine. And that’s eaten me up, more than I can explain,” he said.He even questioned respect in their relationship, saying, “If you can’t show your father respect when it matters, then just carry on… I don’t need you.”In the end, John Fury’s stance comes from two places, fear for his son’s health and hurt from their personal distance. For him, this comeback is not just another fight. It feels like a risk he does not want Tyson to take.
