“I’ve travelled down to London this week and it has been worth it, the sparring has been great, we are both helping each other out for our upcoming fights, mine against Chisora and his against David Price, which will be a British title eliminator.”
“I’m training hard and in great shape and feel really focused and looking forward to getting it on with Del Boy.” Added Fury
