Tyson Fury implored to sack "Judas" boxing coach by enraged dad John

Tyson Fury has been told by his dad John that he should get rid of his head trainer SugarHill Steward after branding the American "Judas".

World heavyweight champion Fury had been locked in crunch talks for an undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk until last week, with pictures emerging showing him training with Steward at his gym in Morecambe. But the American has claimed he wasn't preparing with the heavyweight for an upcoming bout, and was instead simply in the UK to work with Lawrence Okolie.

And now Fury's dad John has taken aim at Steward, telling his son to sack the trainer that brought him back to the world title with his wins over Deontay Wilder. The Brit believes that his son was treated like "Judas with Jesus" by his coach, and wants a clean break from the Kronk Gym trainer.
