John Fury considers trainer Tyson Fury ‘useless’
John Fury has doubled down on his criticism of Tyson Fury’s longtime trainer, SugarHill Steward.
Fury senior has already called on his son to fire Steward and once again sharply criticized the American coach.

“At first I thought it would be me and Sifu,” the 60-year-old said Boxing book.
“I said, ‘If you’ve got it, SugarHill, I’m gone.’
“I knew he was in the background.
“He’s not good. Tactically he’s useless.
“Everyone he was in the corner with got beat.
“Muhammad Ali’s grandson had it, he threw it away on the way.
“Ben Whittaker had him. He got the undefeated Canadian. The kid was 15-0, went with Sugar and got knocked out.
“This man doesn’t do anything.”
Fury will fight for the first time since losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in a row in December 2024.
The 37-year-old announced his retirement in January last year, but resigned sensational twist earlier this year.

The 36-year-old returned to a training camp in Spain this week and his promoter Eddie Hearn says he could return in July.
Reports emerged this week that an agreement had been reached for Fury and Joshua, although Hearn denied this.
“That is completely untrue,” Hearn said A place of stomping.
“There is absolutely nothing signed for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury next.
“Nothing is agreed.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
