Tyson Fury challenges sparring partner to break his rib during session

Tyson Fury urged Irish prospect Stevie McKenna to break his rib during a brutal sparring session.

World heavyweight champion Fury has not fought since December but is currently in negotiations to fight for the undisputed titles against Oleksandr Usyk. It was a successful 2022 for the 'Gypsy King' who beat British rivals Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte, but he wants to make this year the best yet with potential fights against Usyk, Joe Joyce and Francis Ngannou.

Fury has remained in training despite waiting for news if the fight with Usyk can be pushed through after talks stalled over the event landing in Saudi Arabia. And footage has emerged of his sparring rounds with Irish prospect Stevie McKenna, who currently holds a record of 13 professional wins at welterweight.
