Tyson Fury has claimed that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was dropped not once but twice when he sparred with Wladimir Klitschko.
Asked if the American represents a harder test than Klitschko, Fury told reporters: “No way. Nowhere near. Wilder isn’t on Wladimir Klitschko’s level.
“And I heard off a good source that when Klitschko and Wilder sparred, Klitschko dropped him twice. Twice.
“He got out of the ring and couldn’t continue. Klitschko didn’t even land a glove on me, never mind drop me.”
Tyson Fury(27-0, 19 KOs) will fight Deontay Wilder(40-0, 39 KOs) for the WBC World heavyweight title in Los Angeles on December 1.
