TYSON FURY has been showing why he is the world's No1 heavyweight in 'excellent' sparring sessions with Martin Bakole.
Fury has drafted in heavyweight contender Bakole to help replicate Dillian Whyte's 6ft 4in frame.
And ahead of his UK homecoming on April 23 at Wembley Stadium, Bakole's coach Billy Nelson has been singing the Gypsy King's praises.
Nelson told Sky Sports: "Martin's really enjoying the sparring with Tyson Fury. It's clear to see why he is the world's number one.
"It's an excellent spar between the two of them. Also there's a mixture of sparring with David Adeleye."
Bakole, 28, is 17–1 in his own career and for large parts of his career spent time as a sparring partner for Anthony Joshua, 32.
