Tyson Fury offered sparring ahead of Anthony Joshua showdown


Tyson Fury has been offered to fly to Miami to prepare for a fight with Anthony Joshua by heavyweight Raphael Akpejiori. Fury and Joshua are closing in on negotiations for a £200million mega-fight that will see the former put his WBC belt on the line against the latter's IBF, WBA and WBO belts. Akpejiori has offered his services to Fury so he can prepare for the challenge of Joshua. The Nigerian says the 'Gypsy King' is welcome to come and spar with him. "Right now Miami is a hotbed for heavyweight boxing training," Akpejiori told Sky Sports. "We have Christian here. We have Ivan Dychko here. At some point, we had Bakhodir Jalolov here. We had Filip Hrgovic here, Cassius Chaney here. "If he wants to come to Miami to spar, he is guaranteed to have high-quality sparring. It would be a great place for him. If he wants to fight someone with devastating knockout power and he wants to prep for that, then he is going to have to come spar with me and with Christian, or the other heavyweights that are here. Especially me. It's a great place for him, he should consider it."
