John Fury has explained why he's not pleased with that fact that Mike Tyson is training Francis Ngannou.
"Irritating. I named my son after this man and he’s in his opponent's corner," he told talkSPORT via"Would I want him in Tyson’s corner, yes I would, but he’s a grown man and can make his own decisions."The WBC title holder holds the same opinion of his father as he reckons it's 'sad' the 57-year-old is part of Team Ngannou ahead of the October 28 showdown.
"I think that it’s sad, actually," he said."The man that I am named after, a legend, has to go against me and then come out as a loser, having lost to a man who was named after him. "I think that it’s sad and I think that he should be in my corner, not the opposing corner, but business is business and I understand that it’s strictly business."Fury, meanwhile, will make his first appearance since beating Derek Chisora last December.Who wins?
