Johnny Nelson has debunked his claims that there was a mole in Tyson Fury's camp ahead of Oleksandr Usyk's fight with Tyson Fury in May.
Mr Nelson previously claimed that someone was sharing inside information about the 35-year-old.
The former boxing star has been critical of Fury, with the Gypsy King struggling against Francis Ngannou in October.
But Mr Nelson now admits he “flavored” his original claims, but insists he was not wrong to do so.

He said in an interview with talkSPORT: “You want to know who the mole is? His dad and his brother, those are the moles.
“Because, listen, I haven’t said anything that his father hasn’t said.
“He didn't say anything that his brother didn't say. He may have added some seasoning, but what I'm saying is, it's on the record. His father was all over the camp. That's what he said.
“His brother is on record as saying that there are too many people kicking people over there.”
Nelson then admitted that Tyson was “the head of the snake.”
And the 35-year-old expressed his belief that there are people around him who only tell him what they want to hear, without saying anything constructive.
“Tyson is not stupid, but Tyson is the head of the snake. So they all have to behave because they want to keep that paycheck,” he added.
“So they're going to tell him what they think. [he wants to hear] To take in his surroundings.
“His brothers and father, they belong to him.” [real] They don't like the people around them and are not happy.
“But the people around me think, 'I'm paid well, so I'll tell you what you want.'
“I don't hate Tyson Fury, I'm just criticizing him, I don't hate him.
“People around him say, 'This is Johnny Nelson, that's Johnny Nelson,' but I don't hate Tyson Fury because I think he's the best heavyweight in the world. It’s from.”
“But there are people who are talking nonsense into your ear just because it fits their agenda.
“Listen to your father, listen to your brother. They're telling the truth, they're moles.”
Nelson also previously claimed that Fury “lost his legs” after his narrow victory over Ngannou in October.

However, Fury's father John was furious at these comments in December and defended his son for his performance in the previous fight.
“They're full of shit. Forget them. They're assholes. Shut up. God Almighty,” he bellowed.
“You know what surprises me? How little these so-called boxing experts actually know about their job.
“The ganoo is made like a tree so the child can fight.
“It doesn't matter how bad they want to make Tyson look. Tyson was fine.

“How good the opposing players were. Give credit to Ngannou. He took action and he's a mountain guy.”
“I think Tyson did very well, but his game plan could have been better.
“There's a lot of things that could have been better, but I know he'll do better right away. He'll do better next time.”
