Johnny Nelson predicted a 'bad sign' within Tyson Fury fight camp

Before the fight was postponed, many were predicting something was wrong with Fury. One of those people was former world champion Johnny Nelson.

“If what I’m hearing is correct in the Tyson Fury camp, it ain’t good. I’ve always said Tyson beats Usyk, but the Tyson that turned up against Ngannou doesn’t beat Usyk. The Tyson that I’m hearing about how his training camp is going doesn’t beat Usyk. This Tyson Fury is surprisingly quiet, it means he is either completely focused and in the zone or it’s a bad sign," Nelson told Mirror Fighting.
