Tyson Fury to draft in unbeaten Brit heavyweight likened to Mike Tyson for sparring ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch

TYSON FURY is to bring Moses Itauma back into his training camp for sparring ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Itauma was part of Fury's initial camp earlier in the year in Saudi Arabia before the Gypsy King suffered a horror cut.

It delayed the undisputed title decider to May, which Usyk would go onto win by decision to become the first four-belt heavyweight champion.

Now the pair rematch on December 21 in Riyadh with Itauma on the undercard against 21-1 Aussie Demsey McKean.

But he is set to be part of Fury's training camp as a southpaw sparring partner trying to replicate Usyk.

Itauma told : "We're kind of similar styles, the likes of me and Usyk, we've kind of got a similar style so I feel like I'll be very beneficial.

"It just compliments me. It compliments me but listen, I'm not going to go there just to help him.

"I want to gauge my ability off his ability. Obviously I'm looking forward to [that]."

Itauma, 19, has been likened to a prime Mike Tyson who became the youngest heavyweight champ of all time aged 20.

He is now 10-0 with eight knockouts and considered one of the top prospects in the world - having shared the ring with Fury.

Itauma said: "Whether it was inside the ring or outside the ring, I learned a lot definitely from being in camp with Tyson.

"Outside the ring, [it is about] maybe getting a balance in life. Inside the ring being a bit more patient, a bit calmer, not trying to kill everyone.

"People have pulled out of fights with me and I don't blame them. If I was in their shoes, I would pull out as well.

"I wouldn't want to fight me either. [But] I have to show it. It's all good everyone talking about it but I've actually got to back it up."
