Tyson Fury's dad makes plan to pressure champion to accept Anthony Joshua fight

Tyson Fury's dad John would strongly encourage his son to face the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury declared that he had retired from the sport after making a successful defence of his WBC crown against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium back in April. The winner of Joshua's second meeting with Usyk now looms for the 'Gypsy King' but he suggested he will not break his retirement promise unless he is granted a purse of £500 million.

However many figures close to Fury including his wife Paris believe he would return to face Joshua, which the champion later reiterated by offering to fight his rival for free. The champion's father John believes that Fury should challenge for the undisputed crown and has backed him to beat either Joshua or Usyk.
