‘Total domination’ – Tyson Fury sparring partner predicts one-sided win over Oleksandr Usyk after tough session while fasting for Ramadan

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk will be a walk in the park for the Gypsy King, if his friend and training partner Ty Mitchell is to be believed.

The undisputed world heavyweight title fight will take place on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.

The camps for both men are therefore going well.

Initially, both men were very close to completing their training for the fight when it was originally scheduled for February, only for Fury to suffer a cut during one of his final training sessions.

They are both back at camp and preparing for the rescheduled date next month.

On Monday, Mitchell, Fury’s longtime friend and training partner, took to social media to provide an update from Gypsy King headquarters.

Fighting the WBC world heavyweight champion is obviously a challenge for any boxer.

However, for Mitchell the situation is even more difficult as he is fasting for Ramadan.

He posted: “Training against the number one heavyweight on the planet while fasting? Yeah, I’m done, buddy.

“Total domination on May 18 in Saudi Arabia! Inn shaa Allah!!”
