In other news today, Tyson Fury has split with his coach. I think it's Ben Davidson?  :D

Always seemed a bit mad that he went with him in the first place considering he was basically a fitness instructor from what I'd read. I thought Freddie Roach probably had more to do with the Wilder fight than him.

Reninds me of that guy George Groves got in after he split with Booth because he said he didn't need a trainer.

Aye that's another one.

Here's the Fury quotes about Aj and sparring mate.

Tyson Fury says he would "love" to take up Anthony Joshua's offer of sparring before he faces Deontay Wilder.

It's alright if it's just a warm up fight after a while off and he starts looking for the big fights.

But I doubt he will. I think he's done at the top level to be honest. GGG and then Spence took his soul.

Should push for the Kahn payday (which I'm not sure anyone really cares about anymore) then call it a day.

Eddie Hearn saying today that basically IBF and WBO have both told him that their mandatory defense has to be next and unless he fights Pulev and Usyk within weeks of each other he will have to drop one belt. Which pretty much guarantees it will be the WBO version. Usyk fights someone like Chisora for the belt probably.

These sanctioning bodies are a joke. He has just won the belts. How is he possibly meant to do that?

Won't be any surprise to Eddie Hearn that, he was saying last year that they needed to make the Wilder match this year because with all the mandatory commitments associated with the belts it would be difficult to hold onto them all. Joshua has fought twice in 15 months and I only see him fighting twice in 2020. Can see the Usyk fight in the 2nd half of next year probably after Usyk has won the WBO belt against someone else.

Usyk and Parker are 1 and 2 with the WBO so that’s a potential fight for the vacant title. Would also mean Eddie keeps the belts under Matchroom if Joshua takes the IBF mandatory and fights Pulev next.
