TYSON FURY'S BROTHER ADMITS DAD'S ADVICE WAS WRONG IN OLEKSANDR USYK FIGHT

Tyson Fury's brother has accepted that their dad's advice during the Brit's defeat by Oleksandr Usyk was 'not what was needed'.

Fury was almost stopped by Usyk in their undisputed clash in May before being beaten on points in Saudi Arabia. Since the final bell, Fury's corner has come under fire for advice dished out between rounds with head trainer SugarHill Steward, coach Andy Lee and dad John all trying to assist.

Fury's uncle and former trainer Peter has already criticised the advice and now his brother Shane has admitted it could have been better. "My take is, deeply, truly, my honest opinion is my dad wants what’s the best for his son and the best for his son after he’s been put down and nearly out cold is to get him through the fight," he told iFL TV.

"F*** the boxing, you can be KO’d and not wake up. That’s his mentality 'cause he wants the best for his sons but sometimes when you want the best for someone it’s maybe not the best instructions. Them instructions is sometimes not what you need." Last month Peter said there should only be one man in the corner giving Fury advice.

"There should only be one man in the corner, there shouldn’t be three or four," he told October Red. "Some are too emotional in the corner and some are giving the wrong advice. "I think the only one that spoke a little bit of sense in the last dying stretch of it was Sugar Hill, who said put it on him. When you go into fights, it doesn’t matter who it is, it could be a family member, but you’ve got to give precise clear information, and the thing I always say to the fighter is ‘are you listening, do you understand what I’ve just told you to do?’

"There were too many people, but maybe Tyson wants that I don’t know, it’s been years since dealings with me. I don’t know what the situation is but clearly for me the game plan was wrong and only one should be speaking. How can you listen to all that? It’s going a bit panicky and it’s all over the place.

"I’ve always said I can’t be bought in boxing. If someone is talking in the corner, I’d say shut your f***ing mouth now or get out the back. It’s happened before. I’m not having anything go on in that corner. You’re the bucket man, you wash the gumshield out, you wipe his head down, do not speak. That’s their instruction, and if they speak, when they get back to the dressing room, sacked on the spot. You’ve got to have a professional corner."
