TYSON FURY’S uncle nailed the corner and the tactics in defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
For the first time, Fury brought his father to training camp in an official capacity 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 hard-hitting footage after the fight revealed John shouting orders from the SugarHill lead voice.
Fury has chopped and changed trainers over the years, going from Uncle Peter to newcomer Ben Davison and now SugarHill, nephew of the legendary Emanuel.
And Peter – who led his nephew to an iconic upset over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 – said SugarHill was hushed into the corner.
But he also insisted that Fury – defeated by split decision – was unable to use his TWO STONES weight advantage against the smaller Usyk.
He said Red October: “There should only be one man in the corner, there shouldn’t be three or four.
“Some are very emotional and some are giving the wrong advice.
“I think the only one who talked a little sense in the last bit was SugarHill, who said ‘put it on him’.

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…
“When you get into a fight, no matter who it is, it could be a family member, but you have to give accurate and clear information, and what I always say to the fighter is: ‘Are you listening, do you understand what I just told you to to do?
“There were a lot of people, but maybe Tyson wants this? I don’t know, it’s been years since I dealt with myself.
“I don’t know what the situation is, but clearly for me the game plan was wrong and only one should speak.
“How can you hear all this? It’s getting a little panicky and it’s everywhere.
“I’ve always said I can’t be bought in boxing. If someone is talking in the corner, I would say shut up now or go out the back. It’s happened before.
“I’m not going to let anything happen in that corner. You are the man with the bucket, wash the mouthguard, dry his head, don’t talk.
“That’s their instruction, and if they say anything, when they get back to the locker room, they’ll be fired on the spot. You have to have a professional corner.”
Former world champion Carl Froch was among those calling on the dethroned Gypsy King to abandon his father John for the proposed rematch.
It comes after Fury, 35, invoked his right to an immediate rematch with Usyk, 37, which is expected to take place in November or December in Saudi Arabia.
