Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) is trying not to reveal this time who he will be sparring with as he prepares to fight Oleksandr Usyk (21-0-1, 14 KOs) for four heavyweight belts. However, as it turns out, one of the "Gypsy King's" sparring partners is one Ty Mitchell (3-2, 2 KOs), a former middleweight boxer who hasn't competed since 2011 but recently boasted a photo with the WBC champion on his Instagram.
"Sparring with the number 1 heavyweight on the planet during Lent? Done! May 18 will be total domination!" - Mitchell signed his picture with Fury.
It's worth recalling that before his rescheduled fight with Usik in February, Fury sparred with Moses Itauma, Kevin Lerena and Jai Opetaia, among others. Now it looks like there are some lighter guys on Fury's sparring team as well.
