    Capetillo shot to fame after he performed heroics on Fury’s horror gash sustained against Otto Wallin last September
    But while in quarantine it appears his Las Vegas gym was broken into, with Capetillo sharing images of the aftermath.
    Capetillo operates both out of his own gym and Top Rank’s.
    He has recently been training former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr.
    But Capetillo shot to fame after he performed heroics on Fury’s horror gash sustained against Otto Wallin last September.

    The Gypsy King’s unbeaten record was on the line after he suffered the nasty cut in the third but his cut man managed to get him through the 12 rounds.

    Fury rewarded Capetillo with a cash bonus and the pair have remained friends since.
    The trainer even revealed the WBC champion has sent him money in lockdown after he was forced to shut his gym, losing his source of income.
    Capetillo told Sky Sports: “When he knew we were locked down because of Covid-19 and my gym was closed, he texted me and said: ‘Is there anything I can do to help?’

    “He is still taking care of me. He sent me money.
    “I was supposed to be with Jessie Vargas in New York on March 14 but the fight was cancelled and I came home with empty pockets. 
    “I was scared, I didn’t know what to do.

    “I tell the guards, I am like, ‘Let them take a picture.’
    “There are about 45 of them (waiting in line).

    “That is what I am worried about. That is just crazy.

    Tyson Fury sparring partner David Adeleye wipes floor on heavyweight return as officials clean ring and refs wear masks

    TYSON FURY’S sparring partner David Adeleye wiped the floor with Matt Gordon on British boxing’s heavyweight return.
    The sweet science returned to TV screens from a sterilised BT Sport studio, with officials spraying the ring between bouts, referees wearing masks and not a fan in sight.

    Officials clean the ring as David Haye provided punditry in the BT studio

    Adeleye, 23, took his London rival Gordon out in two brutal rounds to take his record to 2-0.
    And now he is free to impersonate Deontay Wilder again as the Gypsy King prepare for this year’s trilogy fight after taking out Matt Gordon in two rounds.
    Adeleye said: “The guys that I spar have good chins and we work on different things.
    “It’s a learning process that never ends.

    “I thought come July I’d be 5-0, I’m 2-0 so it’s put a hold on everything.”
    Adeleye started fast in the opening round but struggled to find home with his telling right hand.
    But it was all over in the second as the novice Londoner backed Gordon up against the ropes and unleashed relenting right hands until the ref stopped the fight.
    The win came as veteran promoter Frank Warren staged the nation’s first night of fights since lockdown and extreme measures were taken in order to ensure the show ran as safely as possible.

    Adeleye moved to 2-0 as he breezed past Matt Gordon in two rounds
    British Board of Boxing Control chief Robert Smith – who has allowed only five fights per event – was ringside to oversee proceedings.
    Warren announced all 104 coronavirus tests carried out on boxers and staff involved in the show over the last seven days came back negative.
    Referees had to wear face masks during fights before then showering if they were to officiate another bout.
    After each contest officials strenuously cleaned in and around the ring, wiping down everything from the canvas to the ropes.
    Boxers, who were joined with their bubble of one trainer and another team member, would have to empty their gloves and hand wraps after every fight – in individual bins.
    Coaches were required visor masks in the corner and in possession of a specially made spit bucket.
