TYSON FURY was warned by Carl Froch that he must abandon his father John to have any chance of defeating Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury brought his father to training camp in an official capacity for the first time ahead of the historic undisputed title decider

John was also the third member of the crowded Fury corner, joining coach Sugarhill Steward and assistant, former world champion Andy Lee.
And damning footage after the fight revealed John shouting orders from the lead voice, Sugarhill.
The antics led to British boxing legend Froch urging Fury to throw John out of his corner for the proposed rematch with Usyk.
He said Mr Ping: “John Fury interfering on Tyson’s corner could have been the difference between winning and losing.
“His coach, Sugarhill, knows everything about the game, he was trying to give him instructions.
“How Tyson can focus on SugarHill and follow those instructions when John Fury screams in his ear and talks shit to him through the ropes is impossible.
“You can’t listen to two people at the same time. That could have been the difference between winning and losing in a close fight, that interference in the corner could have cost Tyson the fight.”
Before the fight even began, the volatile 59-year-old – who was once arrested for examining a man’s eye – was already making unwanted headlines.

Despite all the love for the resurgent AJ… these two are head, shoulders and fists ahead of everyone else
OLEKSANDR USYK is the deserved and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, writes Wally Downes Jr.
A big gun doesn’t always beat a big gun, not when David has the weight of a beleaguered nation on his shoulders and is able to land every countryman with every blow.
Usyk did what Usyk does, he moved magnificently, countered and outclassed his taller, heavier opponent.
Somehow, he manages to use every physical disadvantage to his advantage.
But what the hell is Fury doing waking up in round nine?
Why does a father of eight with £300 million in the bank, three best-selling books and a Netflix series go into the deep end?
Britain is not reacting to Putin’s army, Morecambe is not occupied.
So when the 35-year-old’s senses are scrambled, when the screen calls to him, when he’s so desperate not to get knocked down that he’s willing to jump through every rope like a drunk, when he eventually has to fall into a corner, Why doesn’t he just stay down?
He earned the right to surrender, as did his millions.
The guts, guts, and bloody mentality it took to walk off that deck, with a broken nose and shattered ego, is not comprehensible to us mortals.
Fury said he felt he won the fight, but it was too worthy to call it robbery or corruption. No doubt your father will tarnish that decency when you read this.
The rematch will be excellent.
Because for all the love we have for the resurgent Anthony Joshua – who was ringside at that iconic event – these two polar opposite men are head, shoulders, fists, hearts and brains ahead of everyone else.
There are the first two, then there is a void and then there is the rest.
Read the verdict on Wally’s big fight in full here…
John headbutted a minor member of Usyk’s camp shortly after landing in notoriously strict Saudi Arabia.
Somehow the former fighter got worse, but Fury’s stunned reaction to the ruck was caught on camera.
The dethroned King Gypsy – defeated by split decision – has since invoked his right to an immediate rematch.
And it is scheduled for November or December, when Froch bets on Fury leaving his father as a member of the technical team.
He said: “I think John played his role well in selling the fight, but he overstepped his bounds when he headbutted that kid.
“So I don’t see the need for John Fury to get involved in the future and cause problems. I see no benefit for Tyson.
“When you have a bad egg at camp, you have to get rid of it. John needs to give his son plenty of space because he was a negative distraction.
“He wasn’t a positive addition to this field, I don’t think he brings anything to Tyson.
“And I think if Tyson is serious about having a chance to beat Usyk in the rematch, he needs to tell his dad to fuck off.”
