The British boxer has started looking for sparring partners to prepare for the unification fight.
It seems that Tyson Fury is not taking his future confrontation with Francis Ngannou seriously. Despite the fact that there is less than a month left before the fight with the MMA fighter, the Briton is already preparing for the fight for the title of absolute world champion against Alexander Usik.
talkSPORT has learned that the WBC belt holder has already started looking for sparring partners for a crucial fight.
One of those who will help the Briton is Jay Opetaia. The 28-year-old Australian boxer said he accepted Fury’s offer.
Note that Opetaya is the IBF title holder in the cruiserweight division, where Usyk was the former undisputed champion. Just this weekend, the representative of the “Green Continent” successfully defended his belt in a fight against the British challenger, Jordan Thompson.
In total, Jay had 23 fights as a professional and won 23 victories.
It was previously known that Usik and Fury signed a contract for the fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion.
