Tyson Fury's dad John tells world champion to sack trainer ahead of next fight

Tyson Fury SugarHill Steward Fury Sr Deontay Wilder Emanuel Steward Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury's dad wants his son to part ways with head coach SugarHill Steward before his next fight.

Heavyweight champion Fury partnered up with SugarHill, who is the nephew of legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, before his rematch against Deontay Wilder in February 2020. 'The Gypsy King' was coached by Ben Davison following his three-year hiatus from boxing, with the trainer guiding him to wins against the likes of Otto Wallin and Tom Schwarz.

Fury's dad John has played down SugarHill's skills as a trainer despite the trainer leading the heavyweight champion to back-to-back knockout wins against Wilder and stoppage wins against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora. "It wasn’t rocket science what he needed to do to beat Deontay Wilder, SugarHill was in the right place at the right time," Fury Sr told Seconds Out.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
