“Obviously he’s a very tall fighter, in general and as a heavyweight, but I’m quite tall for my weight class, so different tactics we talked through. “We went through a bit in our little body spars and when we’re hitting the bags, obviously we have the same trainer so there’s a lot of similar mindsets in terms of the training that’s been installed in us, but definitely good.”Advertisement
“It’s quite weird, he must have been training beforehand because he was there almost outworking me on the bags so I thought something’s up here because I’m fighting this weekend.“He’s in good shape, he’s sparring already, I believe the fight’s likely to happen, but it’s not my place to say too much.”
