NO. They never did spar. Tyson was training with Steward at the time and was at camp, but not to spar.

I have read Tyson saying "i did spar with wlad and Steward made me stop because I was getting to Wlad"....100% not true. Tyson sparred with Hughie the entire time.

They never sparred. Tyson would sit on the side and watch:deal

Na tyson asked wlad if he would like a spar. Wlad replied 'No he's a big Lad' in his Ukranian accent.

Jokes aside, Wlad's sparrings are a trouble.

You won't find anyone as tall as Fury and as fast and technically sound.

People here mentions Vitali? Lol! Classic esb24's total lack of knowledge of the sport!

Vitali is ancient, retired, and a full time politician in a flaming third world country.

And if you still think he could be of some use, let me help you put things in perspective: one of Vitali's last fights, YEARS ago, was with Chisora.

He couldn't even drop Chisora, and he was in serious trouble in the last round.

Wladimir had to hold him upright after the final bell, because Vitali was COLLAPSING (just watch the video footage)

Tyson Fury simply TOYED with Chisora, and broke his orbital bones, AND stopped him, and was as fresh as a rose after that.

But somehow Vitali would be a valuable sparring partner, 5 years after that? Yes, to waste time.

On the other hand, Fury's camp has a BIG arrow in their ****nal: someone who is EXACTLY the size of Wladimir, same height, same reach, and is extremely skilled and mobile: Hughie Fury, that as a sparring partner, is available 24/7, 365 days in a year.

Only thing that Hughie lacks is the power, but it doesn't matter when you're practicing moves.

Hughie Fury would be of immense help in mimicking Wlad, while Wlad doesn't really have a Tyson's counterpart.

Wlad's best chance could be Pulev, but i highly doubt Pulev would accept; maybe Wach, but same thing, i don't see him accepting;

Wilder and Joshua, but they've already been in camp, and they're raising to contenders status, you can't spar with someone you could fight in a year.

So, Wlad is pretty much ****ed, regarding valuable sparring partners.

While Tyson have Hughie, and could have Pulev, Wach, Elenius, and others. When training for Wlad, you don't really need a 6'6 opponent, but someone with a good jab and a strong right hand.

Meanwhile, when training for Fury, you need someone who can keep an high guard, moving a lot around, throws combinations, can throw southpaw, and to be ****ing 6'9 with a freaky 85'' reach.

there isn't anyone like that for Wlad.

Woww you put on a lot of work I'm pretty sure Vitali still in good shape and can still box. It's a lot more realistic than believeing a feather-fisted little kid could prepare Fury for Wlad.

Dimitrenko is fighting this weekend....thought he was done. Guess the lawyer gig isn't paying well.

klitschko should spar tye fields. he is basically a fury clone, right down to the glass jaw. it'd actually be a tougher match than fury himself!
