Fury's New Cornerman
Tyson Fury has enlisted the help of SugarHill Steward as his trainer for his upcoming crossover bout with Francis Ngannou. Steward, who replaced Ben Davison as Fury's trainer in 2020, is the nephew of legendary Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel Steward and a former Detroit policeman.
Fury's Knockout Strategy
Fury explained his decision to work with Steward, stating, "The only reason I’m with Sugarhill is because I need a knockout in this fight. If I was looking to nick a points win, I’d have stuck with Ben."
Fury and Davison Part Ways
Fury and Davison split due to disagreements over training methods, with Davison deciding to resign. Fury clarified, "That was that, he resigned. I didn’t get rid of him. Ben walked away of his own accord."
Date and Location for Fury vs Ngannou
The highly anticipated fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on Saturday, October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ring-walks are expected to begin around 10pm UK time. While the fight will be a 10-round professional bout, Fury's WBC belt will not be on the line and exhibition rules will not be in place.
