Tyson Fury’s brother admits dad’s advice was wrong in Oleksandr Usyk fight

### Shane Fury Defends Father John Fury’s Role in Tyson Fury’s Loss to Oleksandr Usyk

In the aftermath of Tyson Fury’s first career defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in a tough undisputed title clash in May, his brother Shane Fury has come to the defense of their father, John Fury. Shane insists that their father’s actions during the fight were motivated by a desire to protect his son, despite some criticism from fans and boxing experts who blamed the team for the loss. Tyson Fury, often referred to as the ‘Gypsy King,’ fell to a points defeat against Usyk, a match that many saw as a turning point in his career.

The defeat, which many attribute to a tactical misjudgment by his corner team, including trainers Sugar Hill Steward and Andy Lee, as well as his father John, has sparked widespread debate. Throughout the fight, John Fury reportedly told his son that he was winning, a sentiment Tyson later echoed based on his own assessment. Despite this, Shane Fury emphasized that his father’s intentions were always in Tyson’s best interest, even if his advice was not ideal in the context of the fight.

Speaking to iFL TV, Shane Fury expressed his views on the matter: “My honest opinion is that my dad wants what’s best for his son. After Tyson was put down and nearly out cold, his priority was to get him through the fight. Forget the boxing; you can be knocked out and not wake up. That’s his mentality because he cares deeply for his sons. But sometimes, wanting the best for someone might not result in the best instructions. Those instructions are not always what you need
