Speaking to Sky Sports News, John Fury said: 的 went to Alder Hey Hospital, I accompanied him just to keep him right. I said, 'look, you've got to do some form of exercise, just don't sit in here. Let's go for a bit of a run, you'll feel better after it.'
"I'm 56 years old, 20 stone, I outran him. We went for a run round Liverpool and his lungs were on fire, I thought 'look at this'. My lungs? You couldn't hear them. He struggled with a three-mile run.
"He said afterwards 'that nearly killed me' so that's where he was at four weeks prior to that big night."
Fury, who had to postpone the fight, which was scheduled to take place in July after contracting Covid-19, resumed training once Athena was discharged from hospital, but his father admitted that he had concerns over his son痴 fitness.
"He's the full package, he's proven everything, there's nothing more for him to prove. If he walked away today he's done his business, won every professional title there is to win.
"He's a remarkable human being, so embrace him while he's here because when he's gone, he's gone, and then you're back to the boring stuff - the losing.
典he belts will be gone because - let me tell you something - it'll be a long time before those heavyweight belts are held here again because I think once they leave these shores when Tyson's gone they're staying gone.
