        To be fair to Peter, while she may be Tyson's sister she is Peter's niece.

          It's purely because Peter is only interested in people that want to achieve in boxing, he doesn't do it for money.... Tyson didn't want to box, so he is out of his mind in a boxing sense.

          When Tyson came back it was Ben and BJS that got him to start training, made boxing fun again, whereas it wasn't fun under Peter any more.

          I don't think there's hard feelings there, it's just Peter is only interested in his fighters, and doesn't want to talk about Tyson all the time.

            Not sure if it's been said already, but there was also a lot of differing opinion between the two branches of the family. Peter Fury is a respectful man and he doesn't want to be in the spotlight. With Tyson it reached a point it was more of a circus act than anything. When Tyson is going on IFL TV and smack talking a lot of powerful people in the industry, Peter has built working relationships with some of these people, and experienced something akin to being blacklisted when Tyson got thrown under the bus. I think Peter and Hughie Fury seem revitalized being out of that spotlight and being able to work on their crafts at their own pace. They just simply grew apart. Peter is his own man with his own ambitions.

              David Haye was contracted to fight Fury and then pulled out. The fight was rescheduled, months later...only for Haye to pull out a second time. Fury had gone into camp twice, with all the expenses, for no result. It meant he was out, for more than a year, through no fault of his own.

              One of the first things he said, after becoming champion was that he would never give David Haye a payday. He was bitter about what Haye had done to him and how convenient Haye's "injuries" in training had occurred.

              When he subsequently discovered that his Uncle and cousin had shown up to Haye's gym, in London, he went on a rant and called the "sin" unforgivable. So, when he returned to boxing, after such a long lay-off, it wasn't surprising to see him turn his back on his previous team. Poor old Hughie, who's done nothing wrong, has been left no longer on speaking terms with his cousin Tyson - but now has the chance to be the number one fighter in his dad's stable.

              Also, following the win in Germany, it was pretty clear that Fury lacked motivation and ambition, having, in his words, achieved all he had ever set out to do in boxing. Come the rematch, his head wasn't in the game. He explained it to SKY Sports, thus: https://www.skysports.com/boxing/new...cks-motivation
