Tyson Fury<\/a> has had his say after his father John claimed that \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 was \u2018finished.\u2019<\/p>\n

Fury is set to end his retirement and return to the ring on April 11 when he faces Arslanbek Makhmudov<\/a> at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.<\/p>\n

Ahead of that bout, it came as a shock earlier this week when John Fury revealed that his relationship with his son has been destroyed<\/a>, with the 60-year-old stating that Tyson has been \u2018gone since the Deontay Wilder fights.\u2019<\/p>\n

John also claimed that he told Tyson not to face Oleksandr Usyk, and believes \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 wouldn\u2019t be able to beat the Ukrainian were they to meet for a third time.<\/p>\n

Tyson has now had his say, telling ESPN<\/a> that he sees no issues with his ability, and that he was \u2018over the moon\u2019 with his performances in the two defeats against Usyk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the same fighter [compared to five years ago], I\u2019m the same fighter as I\u2019ve always been, same OG. In the next five years I will still be the same, always.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I performed absolutely awesome in both those fights against Usyk. If you like slick counter punching and boxing the head off a boxer people can\u2019t touch, then you like the first one. Then if you like someone on the front foot bombing down the middle then you like the second one. They were brilliant performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m over the moon with those performances. I can\u2019t do anything about the fact that I didn\u2019t get the decisions. But in my mind I performed excellent in those fights. I don\u2019t feel as though I\u2019ve gone backwards or I\u2019m too old or whatever. I feel like they were prestige performances and if I would have got the decision nobody would have said s**t, would they?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always evolving as fighters and people, we are always changing and learning things. Even at this old age of 37 you can always learn on the daily. I\u2019ve always been a genius in the boxing ring, I\u2019ve always been a dolphin in that boxing ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boxing fans are hopeful of seeing a fight between Fury and Anthony Joshua this year, but first \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 must prove he does still indeed have it when he faces Makhmudov next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury has had his say after his father John claimed that \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 was \u2018finished.\u2019 Fury…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-486732","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\/486732","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=486732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
