John Fury opened up in what might be his most emotional interview yet, saying that his relationship with Tyson is destroyed. It’s clear things between them have eroded beyond repair.

Tyson Fury is gearing up for his return to the ring on April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, facing off against the powerful Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov. Known as 'The Gipsy King', Tyson has already made it clear he won’t have a traditional boxing trainer this time around. Instead, he plans to handle his own training, echoing a tough, self-reliant approach.

“I’m a one-man army. I train myself like Clubber Lang,” Tyson told Sky Sports last month. “As long as someone hands me a drink and a bit of Vaseline between rounds, I’ll be fine.”

That means SugarHill Steward, the well-known coach, won’t be part of the team, nor will John Fury, Tyson’s father, who hasn’t worked with him since Tyson’s first fight against Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024.

John seems to have stepped back even further, hinting that he might not even attend the upcoming fight after revealing how broken their communication has become.

In a candid talk with Playbook Boxing on YouTube, the 60-year-old was blunt: “My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing did that, completely. I’ll say it on camera: I’ve never taken £10 from him, and I never will.”

He continued, “I don’t want Tyson’s money, and honestly, I don’t need it. Whatever he’s got, good luck to him. But people need to remember who laid the groundwork for his story when he was a kid; it wasn’t him building it alone. It was me, his father.”

John’s voice cracked as he got deeper into the topic, admitting, “I was nearly asking for a break because of how strong these feelings are. I haven’t really shown this side before, but they’re locked in there.”

When it comes to Tyson’s current state, John didn’t hold back. “I think he’s past his prime. I’m the type who says it as I see it,” he said. “I love my son, but too many folks have been telling him things that aren’t true, hyping him up as if he’s invincible. He’s not; he hasn’t been for a while.”

For John, the turning point came after Tyson’s battles with Deontay Wilder. “Those fights finished him off. Wilder really took it to him. Tyson’s legs aren’t there anymore. Makhmudov is a serious threat; that’s just how I see it.”

John understands that Tyson is trying to test himself again, but he warns that the proof will be in the ring once the bell rings.

He explained further, “Tyson was a beast, but anyone who fights one of the hardest punchers three times pays a price. You can’t just refill that tank as if nothing happened. Every punch matters.”

John pointed to Tyson’s last fight, where he went down four times from heavy shots but still pushed through with everything he had. “He fought with heart, gave it his all,” John said, “but after that knockout, he had nothing left.”

He recalled Tyson’s own words, saying that he was “ready to die in that ring” if needed, reflecting a mindset willing to risk all.

Turning to the career management side, John expressed frustration. “If you can’t give your father respect when it counts, then just move on. I don’t need that. Tyson chose

Ennis moves up to 154 pounds as Zayas puts both his WBO and WBA junior middleweight titles on the line June 27 in Brooklyn. Whoever wins this one isn’t just grabbing two belts; they’re taking over the whole division.

Zayas, still undefeated at 23-0 with 13 knockouts, sees this as the moment he's always chased. “Long before I was a world champion, I wanted the toughest fights,” he said. “I never turned down a challenge and always wanted to test myself. Now, as the unified champ, I get to defend my titles against one of the biggest names out there. I’ve always believed in myself. On June 27, I’ll show everyone just how far that can take you.”

Ennis comes in with a record of 35-0 and 31 knockouts, and he’s dangerous because he doesn’t just hit hard; he’s quick, he thinks fast, and he knows how to break guys down, just like he did at welterweight. His first fight at 154 proved he’s bringing the same style: sharp counters, quick hands, and no fear of going right up the middle. He’s ready for a big night. “Time to step up and collect these belts! Knocking them down one by one! #AndTheNew, Ennis said.

What makes Ennis tough? He likes to let his opponents throw first, then he explodes with speed; a straight right lands, an uppercut sneaks in, and then combinations fly once you start reacting. That’s where he’s at his best. Zayas can’t fall into that trap. He needs that jab pumping, controlling the space, stepping in, but keeping his feet under him. If he digs into the body early, he might just slow Ennis down and take some power off those punches.

Ennis, though, isn’t going to sit back. He’ll use feints, bait Zayas into opening up, and fire counters as soon as he’s got a read. If he figures out the timing, it only takes one clean shot to flip the fight.

Top Rank president Todd duBoef knows what’s at stake for Zayas. “Facing the best has always been Xander’s priority, and ‘Boots’ Ennis is the next big test. This is exactly the type of matchup where
