TYSON FURY will be without out 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.”

Fury, 36, refused to give Team Usyk any of idea of his game plan for their second slugfest as he cut short his open workout just moments after lacing his gloves.
But Steward insists the former unified heavyweight king is primed and ready to avenge his only professional defeat.
He said: “Tyson Fury is just ready right now, along with myself.
“He has always had a silly demeanour, and playing around but this is a different side of him. He is 100 per cent ready.”
Fury’s dreams of becoming the first undisputed king of the heavyweights in nearly 25 years was shattered courtesy of a split decision defeat to the undefeated Ukrainian.
And he’s vowed to inlifct a world of “pain” on the London 2012 gold medallist.
“A lot of pain,” he told Sky Sports when asked if he had anything up his sleeve for his rival. “Smash and damage.”
