Meanwhile, as he heads to another memorable night of his life, Tyson Fury talks about the days he’s left in his past. In an interview conducted and released by IFL TV, Fury details his training experience with now rival but former sparring partner Dillian Whyte. The Gypsy King appreciates Whyte for the capacity with which he once helped the former prepare for some big events.
