Former David Haye Opponent Realizes He Won't Be World Champion After Sparring Session with Tyson Fury

Mark de Mori's Revelation

Mark de Mori, who famously welcomed David Haye back to the ring in 2016 and was subsequently knocked out in the first round, recently shared his realization that he will never become a world champion. This revelation came after a sparring session with heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury.

Retreating into the Shadows

After his defeat to Haye, de Mori largely retreated from the boxing scene. However, he has since made a comeback, winning 11 fights in a row. Now, he is set to face Filip Hrgovic on Saturday night.

No High Hopes

Despite his recent success, de Mori understands that fans would not be clamoring to see him fight either Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, should he defeat Hrgovic. Instead, he anticipates the possibility of a rematch.

An Eye-Opening Spar

In addition to his fight with Haye, de Mori also had the opportunity to spar with Tyson Fury. It was during these rounds that he realized he would never reach the pinnacle of the sport. De Mori struggled to land a punch on Fury, leading him to the conclusion that he wouldn't become a world champion.

No Pressure, All Fun

With no expectations on his shoulders and his career winding down, de Mori approaches his fight with Hrgovic with a light-hearted attitude. He sees it as an opportunity for some good fun and is excited to step into the ring.
