Tyson Fury has insisted he’s ‘happy’ with his corner and unlikely to make any changes ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk next month.
The Gypsy King crashed to defeat in their first bout back in May, with Fury losing the first fight of his professional career in the process.
After the clash, Fury’s corner came in for criticism.
Some felt his father, John Fury, was intervening too much – while others also believed there were too many voices speaking at once.

Yet Tyson has now insisted that he’s ‘happy’ with his corner, with the 36-year-old shielding his camp from criticism in the process.
“Listen, people can have opinions and what they want to say but at the end of the day they’re not in there doing the fighting,” he said.
“It’s really unimportant what other people think of what was going on in my corner.
“If I’m happy then the world’s happy, and I’m happy.”
Fury did perform well during his defeat to Usyk.
Yet his rival was simply a level above, with the Ukrainian claiming another major scalp after previous victories over the likes of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
Meanwhile, Carl Froch recently hit out at John and advised Tyson to cut his father from his camp.
Speaking after John caused chaos at a pre-fight press conference between Tommy Fury and Darren Till, the Briton said: “The usual pathetic childish behaviour from a grown man.
“Darren Till did have a lot to say and he was very vocal but at the end of the day it’s not about him, it’s about Darren Till and Tommy Fury so why is Big John Fury, the fighting man, getting involved?
“Why the f**k is he getting involved? Has he been sacked by Tyson Fury? Did Tyson tell him to f*****g do one and now he’s with Tommy Fury trying to get some of the limelight?
“I don’t know but same old s**t. Darren Till totally wrote him off.”
When directly asked if Fury has sacked John, Froch continued: “I hope so, I hope he has been told, ‘stay out of it, ‘I’ve got some business to take care of and your input is not helping me, and your promotion is getting old headbutting children at press conferences.’

“That kid he headbutted (at Fury v Usyk press conference) didn’t even look like he could have a shave.
“He might’ve been a young man, but he picked on the smallest person there and dropped the headbutt on him.
“It’s not the kind of behaviour you want to see, it is bad for boxing.
“At the end of the day, he is a guy who wants some attention. He’s a man who has never achieved anything.

“His son Tyson Fury is obviously very good, he’s a top fighter and we know what he’s all about.
“I know he just lost to Oleksandr Usyk but I don’t pay attention to him. I will respond to him because it’s great views and does great numbers but I’m not going to start subjects just for the case of getting some clicks for the sake of getting attention.”
