Kevin Lerena (28-1, 14 KOs), preparing to fight with Daniel Dubois (18-1, 17 KOs), is paired with Martin Bakole (18-1, 13 KOs), who, as he himself claims, knows the Englishman well, because he often sparred with him before.
The fight for the "regular" WBA heavyweight belt will take place on December 3 at Tottenham Stadium as part of Fury's evening against Chisora III.
“Kevin asked me about sparring and that we Africans should help each other. I didn't even think for a second. I have trained with Dubois in the past and knocked him out twice during our sparring sessions,” said recent Olympic gold medalist Tony Yoki.
