Fury, 35, was felled by the huge underdog and lucky to win a disputed figҺt.
He arrived in Saudi a week before the bout, but the historic unification with Usyk, 36, seemed different.
At his preparation camp for the Ngannou bout, his dad John called it a “CIRCUS”.
John even suggested his son’s training camp was “in decline”, raising concerns Usyk may outclass him.
Frank Warren, Fury’s Hall of Fаme promoter, quickly defended the unbeaten WBC champion.
Warren told Boxing Social: “Tyson fights. Clearly, his dad has opinions. Everyone has an opinion.
“Obviously his dad cares about him but, at the end of the day, Tyson’s getting in the ring and it’s his decision who he has to train him.”
