Tyson Fury admitted that he is saddened by Mike Tyson training his next opponent. Having been named after the boxing legend, he believes that he should be coaching him, not Francis Ngannou.
“I think that it’s sad, actually. 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.”
