TYSON FURY’S uncle and former trainer Peter has hit out at the lack of “professionalism” shown in the corners against Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury was defeated by Usyk on points in May in a bout to decide the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed champion.

The Gypsy Kings bring their father John into their crowded corner along with head coach Sugarhill Steward and assistant Andy Lee.
But Peter – who has feuded with John in recent years – launched a major attack on his brother.
he told Carl Froch YouTube Chanel: “Whether it was emotions, everybody was speaking.
“I’ll tell you how I felt, it felt like it was all my friends and they were just trying to cheer him up or something, I don’t know.
“There didn’t seem to be any professionalism there, as far as there not being one clear voice telling him what he needed to do.”
Devastating footage following Fury’s death showed father John giving instructions to mainstay Sugarhill.
Peter added: “If there are four people you’re not going to listen – if you’re tired and you’re in the final stages of a fight and there’s one guy in front of you, you’re trailing in the fight and you know you’ve been beaten really bad, and you’ve got to bounce back from it.
“You have to deal with all of that and four people trying to talk to you, I’m afraid that’s not happening.

“There was probably one voice telling him what to do, but there were four or three or four people saying it at the same time, and all giving different instructions.
“It happened at the same time and all the instructions were different, which means it’s a confusion, right?”
Fury, 35, is now scheduled to fight Usyk, 37, in a rematch in Saudi Arabia in December.
And Peter – who played a key role in his nephew’s win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 – said tactics needed to be improved.
He added: “I think he could have known, we’re looking at a big guy, six foot eight inch, six foot nine inch, who wanted to have a tip-tappy boxing match with a guy who is a great mover and a great boxer, so I think he got the whole strategy for that fight wrong.”
