    Anyone know whom they are?

    I heard Eddie Chambers, but after last night's showing I wouldn't recommend it.

    Ola Afolobi and Steve Cunningham (!!) would both be perfect too practice perfecting avoiding the looping overhand right.

    I understand Peter Fury is contacting both.

    Not sure who the hell Haye gets in :lol:

    Vitali IMO wld be the best ... But it will most likely be Richard Towers. Far from ideal.

    I doubt if Cunningham would except the job as there seemed to be bad blood from their fight.I heard they were bringing in Dillian White.

    I would try hard to get Cunningham because he would be great but I don't know if he will.

    Sparring options for Fury;
    - Afolabi
    - Seb Eubank
    - Cunningham would have been a decent addition, but I highly doubt he'd accept.
    - I've heard Chris Keane's name being mentioned, stylewise it wouldn't be a bad choice but he doesn't really have the size.



    For Haye;
    - He seem's to like bringing Thompson in, even though he's a southpaw.
    - Helenius (but isn't he injured?)
    - Ustinov

    Ola Afolob wont spar him. I recommended him to Peter Fury on Twitter and he said he would be up for it. But Ola Afolobi tweeted me back saying "getting ready to fight a left hander. If he was right hand I'd live to come get some work there".

    Dimitrenko is a clone of Fury.

    Dimitrenko is a good shout.

    Anyone actually think Fury may surprise everyone and come out fighting southpaw? We've seen he's prone to the right hand, which against Haye is anything but good, so fighting southpaw would in some respect take that right hand away?

    Seb Eubank is a flat-footed southpaw isn't he?

    Butlin's pretty much the only man out there. I think he's probably doing a bit with Phill Fury too.

    The straight right is probs the best weapon against leftys..? Be very suprised if he came out southpaw against someone of hayes caliber.
