    So says the scene.

    If so, that's a smart move becuase: Wach = clumsy, uncoordinated and huge = Fury.

    But, Wach does have two things that Fury doesn't: a granite chin and intestinal fortitude.

    He's is good sparring partner but Wlad will need to find someone with a little better speed. Wach is soo slow.

    So he's sparring with the same guy he accused of using loaded gloves against him.

    Wach can't mimic Fury. Not even close. That will be a disaster.

    Good choice. Only I wouldn't have invited him after what he tried to get away with in their fight.

    Why doesn't Wladimir care about the whole Wach failing the drug test issue?

    On paper, I see him as a good sparring partner for this fight, really.

    Wach can't fight southpaw though can he?

    I am pretty sure that Fury will fight the entire fight as a SP occasionally switching to orthodox on the inside if he can get there.

    TBH for both fighters as they are quite unique finding sparring partners is going to be tricky.

    I guess Fury could use Helenius, Joshua and Price [if he is up for it after the weekend's disaster]. Helenius is pretty much as close as you'll get to Wlad.

    Haye used Wach, Towers and Wilder for the Fury fight he pulled out of twice.

    Wilder definitely won't be a sparring partner now he is a World Champion and Towers is utterly pointless given how easily Lucas Browne starched him.

    Ustinov? Gary Cornish? The options of fighters 6'7+ are very limited. Especially when you need to prepare for facing a southpaw. And Fury genuinely does have a handspeed that these other big lumps like Wach & Ustinov don't.

    Fury is getting KO'd early in this one. Less than 7 rounds, I'll venture to say, despite Wladimir being in his worst form in nigh a decade in his last fight with Jennings.

    He will have other people in camp Wach is likely there just for his height and he is durable and will provide good rounds. Who is Fury sparring with to prepare for Wlad that is the bigger question who can he find to mimic Wlad? Going to be tough to find someone even remotely close.

    Helenius and Ustinov are just as good as Wlad.

    Wlad is a better holder and clincher than those two , thats all.

    Fury will throw Wlad off him if he tries to hold so that won't be a factor
