Johnny Nelson has now revealed that he did not have a secret source giving him information about Tyson Fury’s training camp.
The former cruiserweight world champion caused a stir on talkSPORT earlier this year when he said he’d heard the Gypsy King was having poor preparations for his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
This was then followed by Fury vs Usyk being postponed due to a cut to the Brit in sparring, which sparked conspiracy theories.
But now Nelson has said the ‘moles’ he got information on Fury’s camp from was actually Tyson’s father John Fury and brother Shane Fury – who had publicly given interviews expressing their concerns about certain factors in the set-up.
“Do you wanna know who the mole is? His dad and his brother – they are the mole,” Nelson said on talkSPORT talkBOXING.
“Because listen, I said nothing his dad hasn’t said.
“I’ve said nothing his brother hasn’t said, okay I might have sprinkled a bit of seasoning on it, but what I’m saying is it’s on record – his dad was saying the camp’s this, that and the other.
“It’s on record his brother’s said there’s too many back-slappers there.”
Nelson continued: “Tyson’s not an idiot, but Tyson is the head of the snake – so they’ve all got to behave themselves because they want to stay on that payroll.
“So they’re gonna tell him what they think [he wants to hear] to ingratiate themselves around him.
“His brother and his dad – they’re his [real] people and they don’t like these people that are around, and they’re not happy.
“But them people that are around are thinking, ‘I’m getting paid good, so I’m gonna tell you what you want.’
“I don’t dislike Tyson Fury, I just call out his BS, I don’t dislike him.
“Those people around him are saying, ‘Johnny Nelson this, Johnny Nelson that,’ I don’t dislike Tyson Fury because I think he’s the best heavyweight in the world.
“But you’ve got people in your ear chatting foolishness just because that fits their agenda.
“Listen to your dad, listen to your brother – they are the ones speaking the truth, they’re the moles.”
