Usyk's Towering Sparring Partner Sends Fury A Warning
As the countdown intensifies for the highly anticipated clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury on February 17 in Saudi Arabia, the training camps are in full swing. Usyk's latest sparring partner, the towering 6ft 8½ins Serbian giant Sanel Hasanovic, believes the Ukrainian will emerge victorious against the Gypsy King. Sparring sessions in boxing are a crucial aspect of preparation, and while replicating the unique styles of Usyk and Fury is challenging, Hasanovic, with a professional record of 7-1-1 (6 KOs), aims to bring size and profile similarities to the table. In a post directed at Usyk, Hasanovic expressed confidence after "serious sparring" sessions, predicting Usyk's triumph over Fury. The 25-year-old Serbian, with a height comparable to Fury's 6ft 9ins, adds an intriguing element to Usyk's training camp. While technical prowess and experience may differ, Hasanovic's physical stature aligns with Fury's, offering valuable insights for Usyk's preparations. Boxing trainer Don Charles, familiar with Usyk's skills from coaching against him, shared his perspective on the upcoming bout. Despite acknowledging Fury's seriousness in training, Charles believes Fury's size advantage will play a pivotal role. Charles predicts that Fury will "maul" Usyk, utilizing his size to control the fight through clinches, hits, and strategic moves. As the narrative builds towards this undisputed heavyweight showdown, the contrasting views from Usyk's sparring partner and boxing insiders add layers of anticipation to the approaching clash between two elite heavyweights. #UsykvsFury #HeavyweightShowdown #SparringInsights #UndisputedChampion
