Tyson Fury's father has shared his concerns over his son being led astray by the "200 yes men" he has around him.
Boxing champion Fury has recently been training in the US ahead of his upcoming fight with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas.
However, he recently returned home for the birth of his third daughter and sixth child Athena, who has spent much of her short life so far in intensive care at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool.
Speaking to BT Sport, Tyson's father John said he worries about his son when he is away and not under his "watchful eye".
He said: "W hen he gets off the plane in Las Vegas, you've got 200 yes men waiting for him looking to get that from him.
"Because he's the Pied Piper, ain't he? That's what he does. People follow him around just to get what they can.
"'Yes, Tyson. You're this, you're that, you're the best in the world. We love you.'
"This kid's heard it all before in my life. They don't love you, they don't care you, they just want your money and your profile to make their status bigger for being around you."
Fury went on to say his son "hasn't got the character" to remove the "fake, plastic pretenders" from his life – but added he would have no problem doing so for him.
He said: "Y ou need people like me. Somebody's got to point the finger at the bad guy.
"Tony Montana said that in the film Scarface. Point it at me.
"But I am the bad guy because I'm getting that boot up the backside and down the road, gone.
"Because they're not relevant to his job. Or he'll get beat.
"He needs to work, like we're working in here. One-to-one, a select few people around him who he can trust and work and work again.
"And get it all right and shed blood, snot and tears in the gym. And I don't see him doing that today."
Fury also said the Gypsy King has "regressed" and criticised his work ethic, accusing him of spending more time talking than working when in training.
"He's sort of lost his bit of movement that he had, for my money," he said.
" He used to be elusive, he used to be awkward, coming at you from all different styles. He's gone a bit one dimensional."
