    Highlights:
    • Had Vitali out on his feet
    • Wlad got mad and tried to beat him up in the following spar
    • Got sent home that night, much earlier than schedule
    • Got hurt pretty bad in one spar in his third camp against Wlad
    • Vitali was more of a natural fighter, Wlad got discouraged if things didn't go exactly his way. Wlad had a chip on his shoulder, but was stronger and more athletic

    Back off, Mike. You can't even carry the jockstraps of the real sparring champions like David Price and Martin Bakole.

    Jarrell Miller saw the whole thing so maybe he can verify it.

    Vitali had an iron chin, and Hunter was a relatively light punching cruiserweight. Hes probably exaggerating here, but I can believe that he hurt Vitali - things happen in sparring.

    Had Vitali “Out on his feet” huh??! :rolleyes:

    May have caught him good a couple of times but HIGHLY doubt this idiot had Vitali out on his feet. Plus Vitali never was a hard spar type. That was more Wlad.

    The definition of “Out on his feet” was what Usyk had your ass in that 12th round ;)

    Yeah, sparring stories always need confirmation from witnesses.
    I could see Wlad trying to 'get revenge' for something as that's what Vitali acted like after Sanders KO'd Wlad and both were fake 'sportsmen'. But I'm not sure Michael is too reliable. He should have pulled back on the 'out on his feet' part and it would be more believable.

    Mike hunter routinely beat the breaks off wilder, Ruiz, brazealle, and pretty much any heavy he spars. Beat the hell out of fury in the amatuers.

    Michael Hunter and Tyson Fury have a history, but not in a professional boxing match. They competed as amateurs in 2006, with Fury winning a decision. Hunter claims he "kicked Fury's butt" and "almost had him knocked out". Hunter also stated that Fury didn't show up for a scheduled rematch. While Hunter has expressed interest in fighting Fury, there are no current plans for a professional bout between them.

    :risas3:
