Is Tyson in trouble? The former champion revealed the details of Fury's preparation for the fight with Usyk and predicted defeat for the British
Nelson criticized Fury
The training camp of Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) is causing concern among British boxing experts who doubt the Gypsy King's ability to defeat Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs). The Manchester native's training is going very hard, and according to rumors, he was knocked down in one of the sparring sessions.
Mirror Fighting writes about this with reference to former world heavyweight champion Johnny Nelson. He shared his data on Fury's preparation for the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion, expressing confidence that Tyson will have a hard time withstanding the Ukrainian.

"If everything I know about Tyson Fury's camp is correct, things are not going well. I always said that Tyson would beat Usyk, but the version of Tyson that fought Ngannou will not beat Usyk. What I'm hearing about how Tyson is doing in this training camp is that he's not going to beat Usyk. This Tyson Fury is surprisingly quiet, which means he's either completely focused and isolated, or it's a bad sign," Nelson said.
