    Undefeated Canadian Alexis Barriere, South Africa’s Kevin Lerena and Brit prospect Moses Itauma are Fury’s chief sparring partners.

    Including Britain’s most exciting prospect, the South African underdog who almost knocked out giant Daniel Dubois and a huge unbeaten Canadian.

    Alexis Barriere

    From: Canada
    Age: 28
    Stance: Southpaw
    Record: 11-0 (9KOs)

    The least famous member of the new Fury fraternity but an eye-catching shape and early record.
    The 6ft 4in Quebec puncher turned pro in 2021 and has raced into double figures and a healthy number of early finishes.

    Barriere only boxed out of Canada a couple of times – as a raw amateur and a pro – but already looks at home among the Traveller clan in Saudi Arabia.
    The heavy-handed unknown is one inch taller than Usyk but usually boxes close to the same 16st the Ukraine icon prefers since moving up from cruiserweight.

    Stance: Southpaw
    Record: 30-2

    The Johannesburg tough guy would be forgiven for hating British boxers after his cruel loss to Daniel Dubois in December 2022.
    Most read in Boxing
    The visitor – boxing DDD on the undercard of Fury’s trilogy fight with Derek Chisora at Spurs – almost pulled off a sensational upset.
    Cherry picked as a warm-up opponent for Dubois to prepare for Usyk, Lerena was supposed to pose a few problems and collapse.

    But he clipped Dubois around the temple and the loss of balance and belief sent him to the canvas three times in the opening rounds.
    Then trainer Shane McGuigan did a superb job in helping Dubois recover and he scored a stoppage win in round three.
    Lerena bounced back with two wins last year and is the perfect size and stance to imitate Usyk.
    His heavy hands and solid resolve will also make him an ideal training partner for Fury to work alongside.

    Moses Itauma

    From: EnglandAge: 19Stance: SouthpawRecord: 7-0

    What sort of 19-year-old dreams of fighting Tyson Fury for Christmas? This special one.
    In September the freakishly talented teen told us: “I know everyone wants to see the Fury vs Usyk fight for all of the belts but I only really want it so I hopefully get the chance to spar Tyson.
    “I’m no help with the Ngannou fight but I do think I am ideal for Usyk so hopefully I get to go soon and learn from him.”
    Thanks to manager Francis Warren, Itauma is in Riyadh right now imitating all the skills and threats that Usyk poses to the Gypsy King, while preparing for his eighth professional outing on the undercard.
    With Opetaia now removed, Itauma has probably been promoted inside the ranks, too.
    It will be a magnificent learning curve for the Kent wonderkid – who has been made mandatory challenger for the English title and plans to reign after the Fury-Usyk-AJ era winds down.

    Anthony Joshua’s dark room retreat brutally mocked by Ngannou as ex-UFC champ vows to make him wake up in a ‘white room’

    FRANCIS NGANNOU has seemingly mocked Anthony Joshua’s recent darkness retreat in his chilling prediction for their Saudi showdown.AJ stunned boxing fans last October by revealing he went on a retreat so he could be alone with his thoughts in complete darkness.

    Upcoming foe Francis Ngannou has seemingly mocked the retreat by claiming AJ could wake up in a ‘white room’ if he underestimates himCredit: GETTY
    The former two-time unified heavyweight champion forked out £2,000 for a four-day stay at the Sky Cave Dark Retreat in Southern Oregon.
    That retreat came weeks before his desruction of Otto Wallin, which paved the way for an unlikely clash with former UFC champ Ngannou.
    And Ngannou appeared to make reference to it in a chilling warning ahead of their Riyadh rumble in March.
    The Predator said: “If I catch him, then he’s going to sleep.

    “Remember, this is the heavyweight division and everyone is quite strong. You should keep your chin away.
    “Don’t go there and sleep [on your opponent] and say: ‘Oh, he’s not the hardest puncher.’
    “If you put your chin in the right position and get hit, even by the lightest fighters, then you might wake up in the white room.”
    The MMA man-mountain added: “So, you better keep your chin away and fight smart.

    “It is not chin-testing, it is a combat sport.
    “I’m the hardest puncher, but I was in a 10-round fight and couldn’t knock out Tyson Fury, I couldn’t connect. [But] you can knock someone out if you can touch them.”
    Joshua, 34, knows full well the power Ngannou possesses in both hands after watching him shock the world and drop Fury last October.
    And he’s refusing to underestimate the size of the task on his hands in what many believe is a “lose-lose fight”.
    He said: “If Tyson underestimated Ngannou, I sure won’t. Francis has lost the element of surprise with me.
    “We knew Francis had a reputation as the biggest puncher in the world but the surprise was how well he boxed.
    “He was exceptional on the inside and made life very complicated for Tyson.
    “So much so that I do belong to the opinion that he beat Fury.”

    Cruiserweight monster LEAVES Tyson Fury training camp after just five rounds of sparring and fans think they know why

    RUMOURS that a monster cruiserweight was sent home from Tyson Fury’s training camp after just five rounds of sparring have been quickly denied.The 35-year-old Gypsy King will attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over 25 years next month when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh.

    The Brit has provided his supporters with their first glimpse at his secret Saudi training camp for the biggest fight of his career.
    Usually outspoken Fury had essentially gone radio silent ahead of the showdown and has not been regularly taking to social media like usual.
    But he did provide some insight into what he’s been doing as he shared a clip of himself and his team getting a training session in at the gym.
    Now some more news from his camp has emerged after it was revealed that unbeaten 24-0 Aussie cruiserweight star Jai Opetaia had been drafted in for sparring.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    But after just five rounds of working with the 6ft 9in Fury, he had left and returned Down Under – sparking some wild claims from boxing fans.
    Fox Sports Australia’s Ben Damon started the rumours when he revealed that the two had sparred.
    He wrote on X: “Jai Opetaia did five rounds of sparring with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia but with a lack of orthodox sparring in Fury’s camp Opetaia has now returned to Australia to continue his own preparations for the planned Mairis Briedis rematch at #FuryUsyk.”
    That instantly led to widespread speculation on social media as fans believed they knew the reason why the 28-year-old had left the Gypsy King’s camp.

    “Haha he defo sparked out Fury,” claimed one.
    Another said: “Jai rolled in with the thunder from down under and got sent home.”
    “Dropped in Sparring? Sparred only 5 rounds? Yeah jai cracked him,” claimed a third.
    While another wrote: “Hahahaha what’s he done to Fury?”
    However, one fan asked Damon directly, saying: “Did you hear anything about Jai dropping Fury in their sparring?”
    To which Damon replied: “Yep I heard it didn’t happen.”
    Opetaia will face Briedis in his next fight on the undercard of Fury versus Usyk next month.
    The 6ft 2in star holds the Ring magazine and lineal cruiserweight titles but vacated his IBF one after a disagreement with them last month.
    After seeing the rumours spread like wildfire online, his co-promoters quickly responded to the claims that he had dropped Fury.
    A statement from Tasman Fighters said: “Jai Opetaia has recently returned from Saudi Arabia where he sparred and trained with Tyson Fury.
    “They were fantastic, competitive rounds and an incredible experience for Jai.”
    It continued: “However any talk of either boxer being dropped is not true.
    READ MORE SUN STORIES
    “Jai is now back in Australia finalising his preparation to defend his world title and cannot wait to do so in Saudi Arabia.” 
    SunSport understands that nobody in Fury’s camp matches either the orthodox stance or the 6ft 1in size of Briedis, hence Opetaia heading home to spar with someone of a similar ilk.

    Jake Paul faces losing over ONE STONE to secure KSI fight as Brit YouTuber’s manager refuses to budge on contract terms

    JAKE PAUL faces losing over ONE STONE in weight if he is to meet KSI’s demands for a blockbuster grudge match. The pair of YouTube superstars-turned boxers have rivalled each other throughout their careers but are yet to settle it in the ring.
    Jake Paul will have to drop weight to fight KSICredit: Getty
    The Briton comes in a lot lighterCredit: Reuters
    And the latest sticking point in talks between the two camps is a disagreement in weight.
    Paul has campaigned from 185lb but his last bout – a knockout over boxer Andre August – was at the 200lb limit
    Whereas KSI was last at a 183lb catchweight in defeat to Tommy Fury but he insists his best fighting weight is 175lb at light-heavyweight.
    So it leaves his manager Mams Taylor adamant the pair must meet in the middle and box at a mutually unsatisfying 180lb – over a stone from Paul’s weight.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    Taylor told SunSport: “The reality is, I think they both have so much to lose it has to be fair and it has to be uncomfortable.
    “KSI is not comfortable at 180, Jake is not comfortable at 180 either. 
    “It’s like the art of negotiating something in meditation, you both walk away not feeling great but not feeling bad about the deal you’ve done. 
    “And if they’re both prepared to do that then I think we’ll have a fight.”

    Before KSI’s boxing comeback in the summer of 2022, Paul offered to fight him on short notice at 180lb.
    But the American’s team have also pointed out that KSI in 2019 fought at 196lb the night he beat Paul’s brother Logan on points.
    So Taylor is left to admit the row over size could prevent the mega-fight from happening.
    He said: “With Jake, he’s said numerous times that he’ll fight at 180 and KSI’s most comfortable fight weight thus far is 175. 
    “If KSI was a full-time pro boxer his optimum performance would be at 168lb, because he doesn’t have as big a frame and Jake is a lot bigger and getting a lot bigger. 
    “So I don’t know if that fight ever happens just because of the weight issues.” 
    KSI was forced to concede to Fury’s demands of a 183lb catchweight before he lost a controversial decision in October.
    So Taylor refuses to make the same mistake twice and have his star man fight outside his best weight.

    He said: “I don’t think that’s a good idea and I wasn’t in favour of that for Tommy, to be honest. 
    “KSI just said, ‘Look, I don’t care anymore, I don’t want to wait anymore give him that advantage.’ 
    “He gave him really almost all the advantages and I’m very proud of the way KSI performed.
    “He had a tactic in mind and a tactic he developed with his team to negate Tommy’s jab and he did and I think most people think he did enough to win. 
    “It’s unfortunate and we move. It was a great show in the end and we’re proud of that.” 
    Another roadblock is the breakdown in relationship between Taylor and Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian.
    So the former music mogul is ready to hand over talks with Bidarian to his Misfists Boxing right hand man, promoter Kalle Sauerland.
    Taylor said: “I’m going to defer negotiations to Kalle if that ever happens again.

    “I really want that fight to happen, I think the people want it to happen and I certainly don’t want to be a catalyst for a reason for it not. 
    “I think Nakisa and I are like oil and water when it comes to business. So sometimes you just can’t get along with people.”

    KSI’s boxing promoter to reach out to Tommy Fury’s team as blockbuster rematch ‘absolutely make sense’

    KSI’s boxing promoter plans talks with Tommy Fury’s dad John – as a mega-money rematch remains on the cards. Fury in October escaped the Manchester Arena with a controversial points win over six rounds to hand KSI his first ever defeat.
    Tommy Fury beat KSI controversially on pointsCredit: GETTY
    But the disputed result only made the feud between the pair uglier.
    Fury claimed he “HATES” his boxing rival while KSI admitted he would happily never see the ex-Love Island star in a big fight again.
    The man in the middle of negotiations last year was Kalle Sauerland, who promotes KSI’s Misfits Boxing but has also worked with the Furys.
    So Sauerland is plotting a catch up with John amid speculation of a rematch between son Tommy, 24, and KSI, 30.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    He told SunSport: “I’ll give John a call in the next couple of weeks and see what he’s doing. 
    “We talks to the Furys a lot. We’ve promoted Roman Fury, dealt with John on that, get on great with Tyson as well. 
    “They’re a boxing family so we talk. We’re enemies when it comes to the fight but we got the deal done when a lot of people in this space said, ‘You’ll never get a deal done.'” 
    Promoters boasted of selling 1.3million pay-per-views at £20 a pop for the grudge match, which at those estimations raked in over £25MILLION.

    So Sauerland – who formerly promoted heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko – would be licking his lips at a rerun.
    But even the veteran promoter is still getting to grips with the new age of influencer boxing which is full of more ego than sense.
    On the potential of a rematch, Sauerland said: “That’s how I would think, because that’s the traditional path. I can’t read this space. 
    “From a traditional sense, the rematch would absolutely make sense. But is it going to happen in this space? We’ll see.” 
    Following his first loss, KSI took time away from boxing having also failed in an appeal of the result.

    But he confirmed he will return to the ring this year and is in no shortage of blockbuster opponents to welcome him back.
    Sauerland said: “This year there’s some big ones out there, whether it’s Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, another Tommy fight. 
    “There’s huge fights out there and JJ knows this space better than anyone.
    “He’s the godfather of this space, building up a multi, multimillion fanbase outside of boxing. 
    “That’s the audience and that’s what’s going to guide him in. It’s different to traditional where you look at the different world title routes.

    “This is about creating big fights and the ones that I know are Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury.

    Elle Brooke admits she ‘loves and adores’ AJ Bunker despite brutal KO… and now calls to join forces for tag-team fight

    ELLE BROOKE says she loves and adores AJ Bunker despite knocking her out – and now wants to join forces for a tag-team fight. The pair of influencers-turned boxers first collided in the summer of 2022 when Brooke won a points decision.

    So on the surface it looked as though the bad blood was brewing ahead of a rematch in Leeds at Misfits 12.
    Brooke eventually stopped Bunker with a brutal right hand but the two hugged it out post-fight.
    And now the dust has settled, OnlyFans star Brooke revealed her admiration for Bunker, who she now wants to team up with.
    She told SunSport: “I adore AJ, I really adore her. I loved seeing her win her title in Newcastle in September.

    “I genuinely love her and when you’re in fight mode, that week I’m not going to lie to you she was my worst enemy, you have to be in fight mode, I’m fighting her.
    “But put that aside, I’m a really big fan of her and I’d like to do a tag-team with her. That would be a really good story.”
    Brooke was beaten for the first time in her last fight in July, losing to Brazilian TikToker Jully Poca.
    So Brooke was in the mindset that consecutive defeats would have brought an end to her boxing career.

    She revealed: “I said that if I didn’t win this fight, then boxing’s not for me.
    “Even though I enjoy it and I absolutely adore it, I spend so much time and energy and it’s so mentally draining that if I’m not winning there’s no point it being in my life.
    “So I’m super happy I won. It was all or nothing, I want to be the best and if I was beaten twice then… I want to be the biggest, the baddest, the best, so I would’ve firmed it that boxing wasn’t for me.”
    Brooke was close to leaving the sport all together but admitted she now has never loved it so much.
    She said: “It wasn’t a pressure thing because I’d be happy either way. Boxing isn’t my only life – it is and it isn’t.
    “I had a life before that so ultimately after my last loss it made me fall out of love with boxing a little bit.
    ‘And now I’ve won, I’ve fallen in love with it all over again.”
