Ricky Hatton wants to see John Fury take a backseat ahead of the Tyson Fury’s vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch.
‘The Gypsy King’ suffered the first professional defeat of his career to the Ukrainian earlier in the year, losing via a split-decision verdict from the judges at ringside.
The corner of Fury came in for heavy criticism following his defeat in the huge Undisputed showdown with particularly his father, John Fury targeted for his confusing instructions.
And British boxing legend, Ricky Hatton believes his trainer SugarHill Steward should be the one barking orders.

“I think he should do that,” Hatton told Action Network.
“I believe I speak for most coaches who would say, you can have an assistant coach or second in command in the corner and while the three-minute rounds are on, you can discuss with your coaching partner about what might happen
“But when the one-minute interval happens, there’s got to be only one voice. If that advice is coming from (all directions), you’re like ‘Where do I go’?
“I think it’s fantastic to have two people in the corner (John Fury, Andy Lee or SugarHill) it’s great because you can pick their brains.
“Two heads are better than one and three is better than two but in the one-minute interval, you need to have one speaker and any coach that is worth their while would agree with me on that one.”
‘The Gypsy King’ gets his chance for revenge when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Saudi Arabia.
