Tyson Fury's "all-star" training camp for his fight with Dillian Whyte is helping to ensure is in the shape of his life for his Wembey showdown, according to his brother Tommy.
Former world champion Joseph Parker and one-time top contender Jarrell Miller are just some of the names involved in training for Fury's next fight as SugarHill Steward and dad John Fury oversee proceedings. A host of world level competition for sparring has been brought in, which has greatly improved not just Tyson, but his younger brother Tommy's preparations.
Martin Bakole and David Adeleye have also been spotted around camp, while Jared Anderson was initially involved before suffering an injury. That injury ultimately cost him a place on the undercard, which will also feature teammate Isaac Lowe among other British talent.
For the first time in their professional careers, Love Island star Tommy and two-time world champion Tyson will share a card at Wembley Stadium as they prepare for a massive night of boxing. Tyson faces mandatory challenger Whyte, while Tommy takes a step up against 10-1 Polish fighter Daniel Bocianski.
And Tommy believes that the camp is setting he and his brother up for the perfect night in front of a record 94,000 crowd at the national stadium. "The amount of names in this camp is ridiculous," he told the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel. "It's an all-star camp, former world champions, up-and-coming future world champions for sure, we've got a lot of people in the gym.
"It's good, especially for me to be around as a novice of the game, not many amateur fights, not many pro fights and for me to be in and around these guys watching them spar, picking up tips, it's sort of bringing me on so much.
"Having an eight-week camp and seeing all that sort of adds to my experience because all of these fighters who've had this amount of fights, getting to see them brings my experience level up and up all the time."

Tyson has completely shut himself off from social media, as well as turning his home into a de facto base camp for the fighters to prepare for their bout completely clear of distractions. Tommy insists that preparations are much smoother as a result, despite being away from his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague for months.
The team are isolated, with memories of Tyson's positive covid test that cost him three months of last year due to a rescheduling of his trilogy with Deontay Wilder. "I didn't really train the way I trained for this fight [when he faced Anthony Taylor]," Tommy continued.
"I've not seen Molly in God knows how long, I've not slept in my own bed for two months, me, Tyson, everybody has been living underneath the same roof avoiding everybody. Every box is ticked where as before I might have slacked on some things. Everything's been perfect and running smoothly."
