The former fighter was criticised for giving instructions to Gyspy King over head coach Sugarhill Steward, especially after he was nearly knocked out in the ninth round.
Tyson has yet to criticize his father’s advice, which Shane believes wasn’t the best advice.
When asked if there were a lot of noises in the corner, Shane explained Secondsout: “(I) agree 100%.
“My thoughts are deep, true, honest Opinion My father wants what’s best for his son, and when he’s nearly unconscious, the best thing for him is to get him out of the fight.
“Boxing be damned, you can get knocked down and still not get up.
“That’s his mindset because he wants the best for his sons, but sometimes when you want the best for somebody that’s maybe not the best direction.
“Sometimes these instructions aren’t what you need.”
Shane isn’t the only member of the Fury family who believes John’s advice wasn’t the best.

“When you get into a fight, it doesn’t matter who it is, it could even be a family member, but you have to give accurate and clear information.
“And I always say to the fighter, ‘Are you listening, are you understanding what I told you to do?’
“There were a lot of people out there, but maybe that’s what Tyson wants, I don’t know, it’s been a few years since I worked with him.
“I don’t know what the situation is but to me clearly the game plan was wrong and only one person should speak out,” he said.
“How can you hear all this? It’s a bit jarring and it’s all over the place.
“I’ve always said I can’t be bought in boxing.
“If someone is talking in the corner, I’ll say shut your mouth or back off.
“It’s happened before. I don’t want anything to happen in that corner.”
