Tyson Fury axes dad John for Oleksandr Usyk rematch after controversial advice during first fightLocation: England
TYSON FURY will be without dad John for his do-or-die rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
The 59-year-old was responsible for some questionable cornerwork during the Gypsy King's ill-fated undisputed straightener with the slick southpaw in May.
John, who HEADBUTTED one of Usyk's team days before the Saudi showdown, repeatedly contradicted head coach SugarHill Steward's instructions as he barked orders at his son.
And he's seemingly paid the price as Tyson has opted to have Steward and his cousin Andy Lee call the shots in Saturday night's Riyadh Rumble.
When asked who will corner the Wythenshawe warrior, Steward said: "Just myself, Andy Lee and the cutman.
"Pretty much that's it."

Tyson recently suggested his old man could be absent from his corner by refusing to confirm his presence.
He said: “I don’t know. I don’t get involved in all that s**te.
“I just go to the gym, train and fight, get paid, go home.
"That’s what I have always done.”
