TYSON FURY has flown two up-and-coming British bangers out to Las Vegas to help prepare him for Deontay Wilder’s right-hand bombs.
Giant David Adeleye only made his professional debut on December 21 but the 6ft 4in Ladbroke Grove powerhouse is a mountain of a man who looks an ideal stand-in for the Bronze Bomber.

And George Fox, son of respected UK trainer Don Charles, is another heavy-handed prospect at 3-0 jetted out to Sin City to barrage the Gypsy King with as many monstrous punches as possible.
Dale Youth prodigy Adeleye, 22, demolished Dmitrij Kalinovskij at the Copper Box in front of a surprisingly large support that had followed him across the capital to the East London venue.
The fight lasted just 2mins and 25 secs as the Londoner whalloped the journeyman while showing off his spectacular physique.
The stand-out amateur, trained by the Dale’s Gary McGuiness, delayed turning pro while he studied business management at Wolverhampton University so he will know the experience of hard rounds with 6ft 9in Fury will be better than money in the bank.
Adeleye had done dozens of practice rounds with Tyson’s cousin Hughie Fury in the build-up to his winning debut, so will be well versed in how to try to pin down the giant yet freakishly elusive travelling men.
Fox, 27, has had a slower start to his career with two points wins in 2018 and the most recent decision victory coming last November.
The Mill Hill man is co-managed by MTK Global, the same firm that guides Fury’s career, and he is another orthodox heavyweight suited to stalking Fury like the Alabama WBC champ is expected to do on February 22.
Father-trainer Charles gave son George his mother’s surname as her father only had two daughters and wanted the Fox family name to live on.
Fury, 31, also has American heavyweight starlet Jared Anderson in the Top Rank gym trying to catch him.
The promotional stablemates have been working together as the youngster prepares for his third fight on January 18 and both of Anderson’s early wins have come via KO.
The US ace, 20, has posted footage of himself training with Fury working alongside him in his trademark underpants and groin protector combo.
All three men have the unenviable task of trying to clip possibly the most agile and fluid heavyweight in history.
Wilder managed to do it twice, toward the end of the December 2018 fight, but both times the Brit somehow climbed off the canvas to finish incredibly strong and leave with a controversial draw.
