He’s not and he hasn’t been for a while.
“Tyson has been gone since the Deontay Wilder fights, they finished him. Wilder completely done him. He’s not got a leg underneath him. He’s took a lot away from Tyson. Makhmudov is a problem for Tyson. I am the first one to say it.

“Leave it, son. Retire as an undefeated champion of the world. You’ve proven everything. Bank full of money. What else do you want to do this for? Legacy is built. Legacy is built already. So why are you doing this?”
The reason he wants his son to quit? Fury Snr. believes Tyson doesn’t have it in him to go head-to-head with the sport’s biggest punchers anymore.

“Don’t forget, in the last fight he went down four times- huge, heavy punches. He fought his heart out, went to the absolute limit, and gave everything he had to get that knockout. But when he got it, he had nothing left afterwards.
“He laid it all on the line. He even said himself- after everything- that he was prepared to die in there if it came to it. That’s the kind of mentality he had: willing to risk everything in the ring.”
It’s less than one month until Fury enters the ring against the Russian, with the struggle pencilled in for April 11.
