Tyson has a good few names in terms of sparring for Haye, none of them nearly as quick as Haye but still good training for him.
Boxing News | Steve “USS” Cunningham to join Tyson Fury Camp ahead of Haye fight
Much respect to Cunningham, helping a guy that controversially knocked him out in his last fight.
Surprised to hear that. Steves been crying about the Fury fight on Facebook ever since the controversial finish but I guess money talksQuote:

Fury will respect Steve in the morning after battering him properly and showing his victory over him was not a fluke.
I'd bet money Cunningham drops him in sparring.Quote:

Lol poor Ross. To actually have anything vested in Tyson Fury winning this is quite sad. Haye is going to either knock him out cold or stop him comically, I don't think any other outcome is more than wishful. Fury can't actually fight worth a damn.
I can give Fury his due, he has great advantages naturally, height, reach, etc.Quote:

However they seem to be neglecting those advantages in training instead of helping them flourish.
Haye is experienced fighting guys bigger than him and unless Fury changes...... everything about his style, he's gonna be knocked out flat.

Right, but his advantage is basically just stature more than physical. Haye is faster and more powerful than him, not to mention much smarter and more dynamic etc etc. Having been in with Wlad will be immensely helpful for Haye as well. As much as people want to criticize him for that fight, if he just approaches this one the same way, HUGE openings will present themselves. Kevin Johnson makes Hayes performance against Wlad look like Arturo Gatti stuff as well, I have a hard time chalking that up to anything impressive from Fury.
If you can't beat em, join em.
Business is business. Two professional fighters engaging in a professional contest doesn't mean there's any animosity between them. They're sportsmen, and fighters typically don't know each other at all. They just get in shape and do their job which is to fight.
Cunningham's a good choice for a sparring partner to help prepare Fury for Haye.
Haye's power is the biggest difference. He's a bit faster than Cunningham too.
This is gonna be a fun fight to watch. Tyson is gonna try sooooo hard to be cerebral it's just gonna be fun watching his cognitive ability deteriorate.
Are you going to pay for the fight?Quote:

That would be dangerous for Haye, he has used Price in the past so he probably is doing that.Quote:

Don't tell anyone but Haye knocked Wilder spark out during the Audley camp. That's a fact.
