"Two Different Characters": Sparring Partner Talks About Fury

19-year-old British boxer Moses Itauma (8-0, 6 KOs) shared his experiences of interacting with the current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

"The Fury in real life and the Fury in front of the cameras are like two completely different characters. He's not the same as he appears on the TV screen.

I remember his advice, thoughts about balance. He says there needs to be balance in life, both in and out of the ring.

He believes it's not enough to just work hard. You need to learn to love what you do, to enjoy it," said Itauma.

Fury and Itauma sparred in preparation for the fight against Oleksandr Usyk. The bout for the undisputed heavyweight championship is set for May 18.
