Tyson Fury<\/a> is eyeing up another return to the top of heavyweight boxing, with his comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov formally announced. Now, Derek Chisora<\/a> has named the man whom he believes should be in in his corner, rather than current trainer SugarHill Steward.<\/p>\n

Fury underwent a two-and-a-half year hiatus after defeating Wladimir Klitschko to win the unified heavyweight world titles in 2015, piling on the pounds and making a return to the throne seem impossible.<\/p>\n

However, with the help of Ben Davison, Fury reduced his weight and went unbeaten in five contests within 15 months, which included a draw in a legendary clash with Deontay Wilder<\/a> when bidding for the WBC heavyweight crown.<\/p>\n

Although, for the rematch with the American, the 6\u20199\u201d Briton switched trainer, appointing SugarHill Steward and adopting the front-footed \u2018Kronk\u2019 style of fighting.<\/p>\n

This led to a sensational display where a new-look Fury knocked Wilder out<\/a> in a performance for the ages, to reclaim the heavyweight throne in impressive fashion back in 2020.<\/p>\n

Since then, Fury has remained with Steward, including for the two consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> in 2024, which put an end to Fury\u2019s undefeated record and led to his retirement.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Seconds Out<\/a>, Chisora explained that he believes Fury requires another change of approach and suggested that he should re-appoint Peter Fury, in an attempt to rediscover the style that he used to defeat Klitschko over a decade ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe needs to go back to his uncle. Go to Peter Fury and he will get that [herky-jerky style back]. He needs to get rid of SugarHill [Steward] and get back to his uncle, if he wants to get that [style], the way he won the world title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury-Makhmudov is set to take place on Saturday, April 4, live on Netflix<\/a>, with further details regarding the event expected imminently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury is eyeing up another return to the top of heavyweight boxing, with his comeback fight against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-407344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
