The pre-fight animosity surrounding the upcoming showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in December has spilled over spectacularly into the family dynamic, with John Fury launching into an angry, unfiltered rant against his own brother, Peter Fury.
The explosive row erupted after Peter, Tyson’s former trainer who guided the ‘Gypsy King’ to his big world title victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, revealed that he had recently given Anthony Joshua tactical advice about his skill set.

Upon learning that his brother had been communicating and offering ideas to his son’s fiercest rival, John Fury did not hold back and called Peter in the harshest terms possible during an interview with boxing playbook.
“If he did that (talk to Joshua) in any way, shape or form, that would make him the lowest form of human being,” John emphasized.
‘Even thinking about doing it, that makes him the biggest dog, the most untrustworthy dog of all time.
‘If he’s going to start making phone calls and advice, meeting secretly, giving him secret sessions, he’s a fucking cockroach.

‘The only advice you might have wanted is about Tyson, isn’t it? There is no smoke without fire.’
Accusing his brother of undermining the family side ahead of the Cardiff blockbuster, John sent a pointed, direct message across the divide: “Son, shake your head. Don’t sell your soul to the devil for a fiver.”
While Peter Fury has publicly downplayed the drama between the camps, describing Joshua as a respectful professional and insisting that any future help would simply be advice, the sensational family fallout has added an extra layer of psychological strain to an already massive heavyweight clash.
