Step inside Tyson Fury's training camp as he prepares for his highly anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk. The WBC heavyweight champion is leaving no stone unturned, with a team of top-quality sparring partners and a dedicated support staff.
The Sparring Partners
Alexis Barriere
From: Canada | Age: 28 | Stance: Southpaw | Record: 11-0 (9KOs)
Meet Alexis Barriere, the least famous member of Fury's training camp. The Canadian heavyweight has an eye-catching shape and an impressive early record. Despite his relative anonymity, Barriere has done sparring rounds with established names like Filip Hrgovic and Oscar Rivas.
Kevin Lerena
From: South Africa | Age: 31 | Stance: Southpaw | Record: 30-2
Kevin Lerena, the Johannesburg tough guy, is no stranger to British boxers. He almost pulled off a sensational upset against Daniel Dubois in December 2022. Lerena's size and stance make him an ideal training partner to imitate Usyk's unorthodox style.
Moses Itauma
From: England | Age: 19 | Stance: Southpaw | Record: 7-0
Moses Itauma, the 19-year-old prodigy, dreams of fighting Tyson Fury and has the opportunity to spar with him in the training camp. Itauma is imitating all the skills and threats that Usyk poses, while also preparing for his own professional fight on the undercard.
