British heavyweight prospect David Adeleye has described what sets Tyson Fury apart from the rest of the heavyweight division including Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. Adeleye recalls his sparring session with The Gypsy King and how sharp, awkward, and slippery he was.
“It was in Vegas, I was a 1-0 pro novice and I walked into the gym, he was wrapping his hands, it was me and two other fighters,” he told iFL TV. “He was proper cool with us, but the gym was boiling. We hit the bags and whatnot and the next day I was his first spar, but the man was sharp.
“What you see on TV and what you see in person is two different things. So, I went in there with a certain style, trying to put it on him straight away, but he was slippery. At the end of camp, I understood how to box and use my attributes, see certain things, and then work on my advantages.
“I went for it, but Tyson’s at the top level so he can kind of weather the storm. It was a good experience though, I’ve never sparred someone as awkward him, it was an awkward experience. Obviously, I knew he was going to be awkward, and I’ve sparred awkward people, but there’s levels.
Providing he beats Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the undisputed fight with Usyk is being planned for March. The result will determine who reigns supreme over the glamour division.
Since the four-belt era began in 2004 there has never been an undisputed champion at heavyweight – something both men will be hoping to change in 2023.
