Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury has come out to say that his son was not fully fit before his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder in October.

He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and the world have been reacting.

According to him, Tyson was carrying serious injuries into the fight and he only had three-and-a-half weeks of full training despite undergoing a six-hour surgery on his elbows.

John added that the eventual fight vs Wilder is probably one of the most exciting fights boxing fans will ever see.

His words, “It wasn’t a boxing match was it. Tyson was very badly injured going into that fight.”

“He had to have chromosome injections into both elbows. He’s since had an operation, six hours all day in hospital having them sorted out.”

“I think he had some bone spurs that he had to get removed, he was handicapped from the beginning. The boxing side of it went out the window because I knew he was going to be like that from early on.”

“When I seen the look on his eye, I just knew he wanted to seek and destroy. That’s what he did and believe me, it was exciting for the paying public, probably one of the most exciting fights you’ll see.”

“But boxing wise, he didn’t do nothing he trained on. They couldn’t have trained for that, could they?”

WOW.
