Tyson Fury's coach SugarHill Steward has admitted he was not in Manchester to train Tyson Fury for his doomed undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk's contract talks lingered on for months, with their April 29 fight date at Wembley Stadium only falling to the wayside officially this week. And what kept fans hopeful was the knowledge both men were in fight camp, with the Brit appearing in photos training with head coach Steward.
But it now seems the famed Kronk Gym trainer was in fact in Manchester for his new fighter Lawrence Okolie's next cruiserweight title defence on Saturday, and not a Fury training camp. Okolie recently swapped Shane McGuigan for Steward, and was seen in the gym with Fury, leading fans to believe camp had begun for the heavyweight champion.
