Fury to spar with Babich
Another sparring partner of the WBC world champion became known Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) ahead of his third fight with Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KO), which is scheduled for December 3. The British giant offered to spar uncompromising Alena Babich (11-0, 10 KOs), and the Croat agreed without hesitation.
“Just arrived at Fury's training camp. I enjoy being a sparring partner even more than fighting. Sparring is the best thing in boxing,” said Babić, who was expecting a fight with WBC bridge champion Oscar Rivas, but it looks like the Colombian has set his sights on a duel with Polish boxer Lukasz Ruzanski. Without waiting for the title fight, the Croat accepted the offer of the Gypsy King.
“I love working in pairs, working every day, I love boxing and everything related to real boxing. Give me anyone, I'll fight him," the Croat added.

In the Fury camp, Babich will join Jermain Franklin (21-0, 14 KOs) and David Adele (9-0, 8 KOs). If Tyson defeats Derek Chisora for a third time, he will have to face IBF, WBA and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk in the first half of next year, but there are no specific details of this fight yet.
