Speaking to TalkSPORT Fury’s camp mate, Joseph Parker revealed that ‘The Gypsy King’ had recommended the Croatian heavyweight for sparring to Parker.
He said: “We spoke to Spencer Brown [Fury’s manager] and we spoke to Tyson and they said these guys gave them the best work – Moses Itauma and Agron.”
“And even though Agron gave Tyson the cut before the fight, he was still giving him good work.

“So we thought we’re gonna keep them out here, bring them in, and carry on the good work that they’ve been giving Tyson and instead give it to me.
“Since we’ve been out here, they’ve been giving us this work.”
The undisputed clash has a new date of May 18th and we will finally see Fury face Usyk for all of the major heavyweight belts.
