JOHNFURY is not sorry to be banned from the US Ringside for Tyson's fight against Deontay Wilder.
The 55-year old giant was sentenced to four years for stealing the eye of a rival in 2010. This cost him vital years with his son.
John Fury is not bitter about the inability to see Tyson fight Deontay wilder.
The proud Traveller is now a very popular and free man. He has landed a prominent BT Sport role as a pundit and is a huge hit on YouTube.
Tyson, 33 years old, demolished Wilder February 2020. His first action backstage was to call his father to celebrate and to get his approval.
The pair will remain apart this weekend with John, an ex-fighter, not bitter about the visa ban
He stated that it was his fault, and that he could have walked away, but instead he chose to break the rules. It is my responsibility to pay for it and I will continue to do so, but that is up for me.
"I taught my sons the right behavior, but I didn't practice it. My pride and temper got in the way and I made the worst mistake.
"But I'm still alive, I have great friends and I can see it on TV. Who am I to complain about not being on the ringside?

Big John hasn't seen his son fight since beating Francesco Pianeta at Belfast in 2018.
If he can settle the Wilder Trilogy on Saturday, he might face Dillian Whyte or Anthony Joshua next in the UK.
John won't let his imagination get the better of him by letting his boy dance in front of the local lights.
He stated that "If" is not the smallest word in a dictionary, but it is the largest. Yes, I will attend Tyson's fight against Dillian Whyte in England next time. However, I will be anxious and jittery.
It will all be new again. It will be like being released from prison all over again. Tyson has shown that he doesn’t need his father and is accomplishing amazing things in America. "I could be the jinx."
His dad was furious when Tyson accepted Wilder's first fight in 2018. It was only two fights after he had been suffering from alcoholism for three years.
He believed in the baby prematurely named Iron Mike Tyson despite his insistence on the truth, but he was concerned that the task would be too difficult for the 6ft 9in tall ace.
John threatened to withhold his third installment from his son Athena, who was prematurely born at the beginning of August. He placed parental duty above money and contracts. Now he explains the difficult calls.
He stated that his feelings prior to this fight and the first fight were different. Before the first fight, I was angry because he didn't listen to me.
"I believe Tyson has grown so much over the past three years that he no longer thinks everyone is his friend. Tyson knows that he is not interested in the money.
"He cannot stop putting his heart on the line to help these people, because they come an go, and the only ones there until the end is your blood kin.
"I was angry because they were against me back then, but I can now admit I was wrong because the fight that brought us here had to be the first.

"He proved me wrong, and I told him that he did the impossible in that bout but that is what champions do."
