John Fury Says Tyson Fury Should Retire Following Victory Over Deontay Wilder | Good Morning Britain

Congratulations first of all, thank you, you must feel on top of the world, ecstatic. I think that's a euphemism word, oh, you sound just like him, it's like he's in the studio, yeah, well, people have told me that before and you. You're a big influence on him, of course, because how old was Tyson when you started training him, five or six? Incredible, yes, and you yourself, of course, boxed. I had, yes, yes, considerable success. When did you realize you could be so successful? When he was about ten years old, I took him to train with me and he always said to me: can I go with your dad? mm-hmm and he tormented my life because he carried it and REM used to watch everything, can you? look and you say I can do that I think I can do it better I say be calm and solemn look he won't come to McDonald's sitting down again, he would eat his McDonald's and then he would be doing shadow boxing taking a hit on the bags and all that, I couldn't keep it away from him and I knew so I thought, well, I'll get him moving a little.

I wanted a young boy, yeah, where did you see the fight? Where were you looking? He was watching from Beatty. The studies are

good

because I did the alcohol program, the comment before and it was

good

enough to let me have a room to myself and when you were watching, did you ever have any doubt about which direction I was going to go? Absolutely no, no. because I know what's inside me, so I know how motivated he is, we knew what to expect, we were boxing him before and Tyson is a fearless, fearless, fearless athlete and when he has a mission, you will accomplish it.

I have complete confidence in him. It looked fantastic when it came in, it went into Patsy Cline madness, of course, which is such an understated and beautiful song, but it wasn't the kind of over-the-top, upbeat motivation you need to expect, it was just that it was all about saying "I" . I'm calm and to be honest, I have this where that song comes from being in the car with me since I was a kid because when we used to go to work and I would take him with me to the gyms and I was always playing Patsy Cline because she's one of my favorite singers even though she died on a plane before I was born.

I liked that kind of music and I like those kind of moments and I think it comes from them and we all had a good time. all that kind of stuff, you know, and I think it's just something to get back to the norm, basically for him, do you respond to him? Oh yeah, and I mean, obviously, putting you in the absolutely right mindset. Deontay Wilder looked so smart I have to say he looked so fit and he seemed to be, you know, talking the talk and he absolutely seemed to be in the right mindset, but it was almost as soon as they got in the ring, Tyson put him on. on the defensive and never gave up, that was the looting of Suzana, that was the plan from the beginning.

I had studied Deontay Wilder a lot, you know, and I've seen a lot of fighters in my life. I know how they work and nine times out of ten I'm a pretty good judge. or what they do and came to the assumption that they had never forced him to back down. I'll put pressure on him and I had the impression that he would have understood that he was part of that pressure until the fact that Tyson was a lot. the heavier I am, who was the weight difference? I think Tyson weighed 2 7 3 and Wilde weighed 2 3 air 231, that's about three stone isn't it?

And that weight works in your favor, presumably in the clinch, you know what you're doing. Isn't that right, but again, if you carry more weight as the fight goes on, it becomes a lot more tiring. Yes, but we're forgetting that Tyson is almost six feet tall and you know he can carry this extra stone. What is the difference with Tyson? being a stone lighter or a stone heavier affects your point power and I saw this at the beginning of this run when it drops around the 18 stone mark two or three don't have the same firepower right it was staying a bit heavier, but I took a I had to understand him a lot because I think he was more focused on being a beautiful body than on the strong fighting demolition machine that he is and I told him: look, it's in your DNA, you will never have a body like that of Arnold Schwarzenegger, so forget it.

That one, you're here to do one thing, you know, fight in a month and do what's best for you and he really leaned on those clinches, yeah, and that way, of course, leaning on him, I mean, you could see the legs. de Dion move quite early. I thought in the fight he just didn't seem to be able to get the strength in his legs to keep him upright and then of course he was, you know, he was blue reading in his ear from the beginning, in what was the team's seventh round. . He threw in the towel, yeah, what do you think I mean by an absolutely gorgeous Pitocin moment?

Yeah, I mean, absolutely remarkable, and he knocked him down a couple of times and I think in the fifth, third and fifth round, but promised Wilder, you could see the pride. the wounded pride on his face and turning to his team and saying what have they done, it's a difficult moment, isn't it? I'll be honest with you. I wanted to tell the press and the newspapers that I told them they sold young Terry. although it would break, but in the country I did everything right, except that Deontay Wilder showed an extreme heart of a champion, honey, he was a worthy champion, they showed that a lot, a lot of stick was needed, this is a triumph in more than one.

The way your son went back and forth to win on Saturday night was fantastic, but after the trouble he's been through, yeah, did you ever worry that this moment would never happen again with your personal struggles, his depression and his failure? I'm sitting here today and I'm still pinching myself because it was two years ago, there was no hope, basically he was that even though we didn't go back that far, I didn't think I'd ever come back, you know, like the switch just flipped on and off and here . we are today, you know, but I think there's more to life than what we see with the eyes, you know, and he has this thing that affected me because he was in such a mess, you know, I only described him at his lowest point, I mean, being at a point where his own father

says

he's not coming back from that, yeah, it must have been very, very dark, it was a dark time and when you see a man, it was like drinking himself to death to escape reality and he was I was eating everything. types of food in the book is loaded and I was doing it at the border, I mean, I had gone when your son stops caring what you think, a father and a father, it's time to worry, the next fight, the rematch with Deontay Wilder or do you want to go straight to Anthony Joshua.

I want my son to leave now, yes, without knowing my opinion. Because? Because I think he's done enough. He has nothing more to prove. He has shown that he has been a worthy champion of this country. He has been a professional for thirteen years. He's always been the opponent wherever he's gone, it's been an uphill battle for him, you know, when he's 32, he has a young family and I think his kids deserve a father and he's done enough and that's my opinion. . I wanted to pack it up. Now I told him that, you told him that and what does he say when you have that conversation?

I think it's in the back of his mind to be fair because he can't do it anymore, he has won every professional title that Susana Díaz has had. He won professional amateur, the only one he won was the Olympic gold medal because he didn't even go, but I think it's an office and there's often more to life now than he gives it his all. I think he is giving his all in boxing. I know he's gotten smaller. I mean he said he hasn't publicly said no that's what I want him to do yeah but he's said why I mean Wilder can request that rematch of course Tyson Fury points to a meeting with Anthony Joshua saying I have other. old guy across the pond who maybe wants a bit of tickling, then that's it, then he's complete, so do you think if he fights Joshua then that would be it?

I don't agree with that because when he saw 1.5 more come into play and I just think, you know where it ends, how long a piece of rope is, you know and Joshua Tyson showed that he is above that level. You know Josh lost to a much younger man than Deontay Wilder. You know, and using revenge would be a lot. of a competition, he is a good fighter, Deonte, while he does a great job, it is a young man's game, as if the young men come forward and let his mother go with you.
