Turki Al-Sheikh says that the result of the first fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk would have been “various” If Gypsy's father, John Fury, wasn't in his corner between rounds.
Sugar Hill and John Fury asked Tyson to do things that were ineffective due to his age, slow movements, and enormous size. John's advice wasn't the problem. When you have an old and limited fighter, even perfect instructions won't help you.
Fury is like a dinosaur being overpowered by the faster, more agile Usyk. Shujahil and John's instructions in his corner were completely useless to him.
Was John a distraction?
John Fury was there, giving simple instructions, and he didn't talk much. He seemed balanced in the corner.
If anything, John was the only positive voice in Fury's corner that night because the SugarHill Steward didn't seem like he was much help. He looked like someone who panicked when things got bad for Tyson.
Tyson's real problem was Usyk's talent. He wasn't good enough to land his punches, and looked mentally weak when the talented Ukrainian hurt him in the ninth round.
Looking back at the fight, it didn't seem like Tyson was paying any attention to his father, John Fury, between rounds. He was always looking and listening to his trainer, SugarHill Steward, for directions.
Fury's real problem was his own Not being able to handle body shots from Usyk, Which made him fight the ropes. Tyson's mobility was nonexistent in this fight. It seemed as if his age had caught up with him, preventing him from fighting in the middle of the ring.
Fury (34-2-1, 24 KO) lost the first fight via a 12-round split decision to Usyk (23-0, 14 KO) on May 18, 2024.
“Fury Usyk, the lack of atmosphere, I felt that held him back in the last two or three rounds. I felt it could have been different if it had been at Wembley (stadium) in England. Maybe Tyson would have listened,” he said. Carl Frosch attic YouTube Channel about his belief that Tyson Fury would have defeated Oleksandr Usyk in their first fight on May 18, 2024 if the contest was held in London, England.
“It would have been different if his father hadn't been in the corner,” he said. Turki Al-Sheikh About Tyson's father, John Fury, who was in the corner during Fury and Usyk's first fight.
Holding the fight at Wembley Stadium wouldn't have changed anything. Fury could have lost there too, and it would probably have been worse for him. Usyk was at his best when the crowd made a lot of noise in the first fight. Had the fight been in front of over 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Usyk would have attacked Fury non-stop and likely knocked him out. The atmosphere Frosch is talking about would have made matters worse for Faury.
It's unfair to make John Fury the scapegoat for Tyson's defeat because he would have lost that fight even without him being there. Whatever advice John gave, it wasn't the reason Fury lost. He was going to lose that fight under any circumstances because he wasn't good enough. No matter how hard Fury tried, Usyk quickly adapted to it and got the better of him.
