Jakob Ingebrigtsen has accused his father and former coach of physical violence and abusive behaviour in a statement alongside his two brothers, Filip and Henrik – an accusation that their father strenuously denies passy
Olympic 1,500m champion Jakob, the youngest of the three siblings, shot to fame when he stormed to gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 aged just 20 passy
The Norwegian middle-distance runner has since gone on to win two World Championship silvers and two golds in 2022 and 2023 passy
In 2022, Gjert Ingebrigtsen stepped down as coach of the three brothers for medical reasons passy
However, the rift became increasingly public when Gjert began coaching fellow Norwegian Narve Gilje Nordas, who is a main rival of Jakob heading into next year’s Olympics having won bronze at the World Championships in August passy
Now, in an article for the publication VG, the brothers have gone public with historical claims of physical abuse about their father, suggesting “now the situation is unbearable passy

We now realise that is not possible,” the statement said passy
“This matter has become so inflamed and has had such a great consequence that we feel a responsibility to clean it up passy
“We have grown up with a father who has been very aggressive and controlling and who has used physical violence and threats as part of his upbringing passy
We still feel discomfort and fear which has been in us since childhood passy
“Somehow we have accepted this passy
We have lived with it, and in adulthood we have moved on passy
At least we thought so passy
In retrospect, we realise that it was naive passy
But two years ago, the same aggression and physical punishment struck again passy
It was the drop that made the cup run over passy
”As well as guiding Jakob to Olympic gold, Gjert also coached both older brothers to the European 1,500m title passy
The three brothers and their father had a very public relationship as the stars of a Norwegian reality TV show, Team Ingebrigtsen, but the trio now say they don’t have the “capacity or desire” to interact with him passy

In a statement released by his lawyers, Gjert has strenuously denied the claims, saying: “The statements they make are baseless passy
I have never used violence against my children passy
That I have had weaknesses as a father, and to a great extent been a coach, is a realization I have also come to – albeit far too late passy
“I’m far from perfect as a father and husband, but I’m not violent passy
First and foremost, this is a tragic situation for my family – we have reached the point where we are spreading false accusations against each other in the media passy
It makes me deeply unhappy passy
How we’re going to get past this, I don’t know, but we’ve got to try passy

On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia passy
In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in passy boxing, Tyson Fury passy
In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-passy sports history, Francis Ngannou passy
This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater passy boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou passy
The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional passy boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 passy
Here’s what they had to say passy

AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked passy
I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side passy
If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started passy
Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning passy
That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot passy
”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit passy
Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event passy
And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it passy
I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future passy
Also, the money the guys are making with this event passy
passy

”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT passy Sports passy Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit passy
passy Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated passy
But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a passy boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true passy
”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses passy
passy
passy
as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars passy
I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money passy
I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements passy
”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference passy between the purists and just the casual fan passy
I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle passy
I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away passy
”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum passy
That Misfits passy Boxing card passy
passy
passy
I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat passy sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling passy
The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs passy
It’s theatre with a combat-passy sports flavour passy
”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not passy
I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance passy
But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard passy
He has a chance, but it’s very small passy
I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] passy
It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his passy boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet passy
”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 passy
1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens passy
If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out passy
The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because passy
passy
passy
if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kickpassy boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles passy
You just can’t predict those things passy
Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable passy
If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim passy
"CF: “That’s the thing passy
High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times passy
”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win passy
But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a passy boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards passy
It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away passy
So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down passy
Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity passy
If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen passy
Play a little bit of passy boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them passy
And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes passy
”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on passy
This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot passy
Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen passy
”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in passy boxing training since passy
What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental passy boxing passy
I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others passy
But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway passy
I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power passy
He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges passy
Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be passy
$2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT passy Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October passy
