Tyson Fury will tell trainer SugarHill Steward ‘sod you’ if the instructions from his camp are failing to work against Oleksandr Usyk, father John Fury says. Fury Snr has been outspoken about Steward’s work with his son, believing the instructions given during the boxer’s narrow win over Francis Ngannou last year were “pathetic”.

Tyson Fury will tell trainer SugarHill Steward ‘sod you’ if the instructions from his camp are failing to work against Oleksandr Usyk, father John Fury says. Fury Snr has been outspoken about Steward’s work with his son, believing the instructions given during the boxer’s narrow win over Francis Ngannou last year were “pathetic”.
Fury faces Usyk on February 17 and is preparing to defend his heavyweight titles. However, John has not been convinced by the team’s approach.
He believes Tyson is guaranteed to win once he “smells the coffee”, and has backed his son to come up with his own plan on the spot if the team’s instructions fail to deliver a better performance than they did against Ngannou.
“If he’s woken up and smelt the coffee, it’ll be a Tyson win. If he hasn’t, good luck to the other team. The best team and the best man will win on the night. Can I compare SugarHill and with what I’m seeing with the rest of the team, with Usyk? From the last showing, definitely not. Everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt,” Fury Snr told the Daily Star.
