Tyson Fury’s father says son’s performance against Otto Wallin was ‘the worst I have ever seen him’

John Fury, the father of Tyson Fury, has criticized his son’s performance, and that of his team, after his fight this past weekend against Otto Wallin. Fury defeated Wallin by unanimous decision (116-112, 117-111, 118-110) this past Saturday night, however that outcome doesn’t paint a picture of the actual bout itself. The Brit suffered a huge cut in the third round that raised fears the fight would be waved off, but Fury’s cutman did an excellent job of managing the cut in between rounds and the fight went the distance.

Talking to BT Sport after the fight, Fury’s father was not a fan of Tyson’s performance, saying ‘The Gypsy King’ never even landed a “meaningful punch” in the whole fight.
