A newly-released trailer from the Netflix show At Home with the Furys shows John Fury finding out about Tyson's plan to return to the boxing ring – and his reaction speaks volumes.

On Saturday night (April 11), Tyson Fury will face hard-hitting Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury will not be joined in his corner by dad John, who has not been a part of Tyson's team since his first encounter with Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024.

In fact, a report from Mail Sport suggests John will not be in attendance and remains 'vehemently' against his son's return, despite appearing at the press conference for the contest in February.

Speaking to YouTube channel Playbook Boxing last month, an emotional John opened up about a drastic breakdown in their relationship.

"My relationship with Tyson is destroyed. Boxing destroyed it completely. I'll say it on camera: I've never taken £10 off him in my life and I never will," he said.

"I think he's past his best," John added. "I'm a no-filter kind of guy - I say it how I see it. I love him, but there are too many people patting him on the back and telling him things that aren't true, building him up like he's invincible. He's not and he hasn't been for a while."

John's sentiments have been echoed by several members of the Fury family, including Tyson's wife Paris and his younger brother Tommy.

In fact, a trailer from season two of the upcoming Netflix show At Home with the Furys has emerged that shows John and Tommy reacting negatively to the idea of Tyson making a return to the ring.

As seen in the footage below, the segment begins with Tyson making an announcement at the table.

"I've got some news," he begins. "I didn't come into this game losing. I've been on a 17-year win streak. I couldn't end my career with a loss. If I had the blessing of my family, it would be nice to get some big fights."

Tyson added: "We can all train together and get the wins back. I'm thinking about it."

After an awkward pause, John makes his feelings clear. "Sometimes silence speaks a thousand words, doesn't it? It's health before wealth. You're wealthy, you've got everything a man could ever dream of."

He continued: "When you've got kids like you've got as young as you, it's one shot that can ruin everything. Then that $10 trillion is no good to you, is it? Quit while you're ahead, son."

Appearing in a behind-the-scenes cut, Tommy added: "I think the only person in this family who wants Tyson to box is himself. I don't want to see him box. None of the other brothers want to see him box. My dad definitely doesn't want to see him box."

Moments later, the cameras pan back to Tyson, who asks: "If I did come back, would you be a part of the team or not?"

John, without any hesitation, replied: "No, I don't want to see you boxing again."

In a separate clip, John confirmed his stance on the matter.

"My days with Tyson in the boxing world are done," the 60-year-old said. "He knows my feelings, he knows my concerns, and if he wants to be selfish, that's up to him. Cos I haven't no part of it. What he does, he does it alone."

For those tuning into the fight on Netflix, ring walks for Fury vs Makhmudov are expected from 10pm BST.
