Boxing legend Tyson Fury's comeback at 37 has the world intrigued, but his father, John Fury, isn't convinced just yet. John is set to travel to Thailand soon to evaluate his son's readiness for another world title shot. After a year-long retirement, Tyson announced his return, stating he's eager to get back in the ring.
Tyson's training videos with Kevin Lerena show him weighing around 280 lbs, similar to his last fight against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, which he lost. Despite his physique, concerns linger about his readiness.
John Fury, a pivotal figure in Tyson's career, expresses mixed emotions about his son's comeback. He had initially wanted Tyson to retire after defeating Dillian Whyte in 2022, but Tyson's subsequent losses to Usyk in 2024 have raised questions.
In a candid interview with IFL TV, John shared his perspective: "I didn't want Tyson to continue after Whyte or Chisora. I thought the Ngannou fight was the end. But Tyson wants to give more. I'll fly to see him soon and assess his condition. If he's in top form, we'll go for another title. But if not, I'll be honest with him."
John believes Tyson needs to build more muscle to support his fighting style. But here's where it gets controversial: Is Tyson's age a factor in his comeback? And will John's assessment be the deciding factor in Tyson's boxing future? The boxing world awaits the verdict.
