Tyson Fury sparring tips tuning Lawrence Okolie up nicely for David Light fight

Lawrence Okolie has promised to teach ‘delusional’ David Light a lesson — after lessons of his own from Tyson Fury.

The 30-year-old WBO cruiserweight champion sparred with WBC heavyweight champion Fury as recently as Friday. And he can’t wait to try to lure Light into the same kind of traps the Gypsy King sets for his opponents. Okolie said: “I did a little move-around with Tyson on Friday, nothing that crazy, just a little body spar. But it’s good to see with one of the biggest heavyweights what that is like. With Tyson, it’s very much like he’s constantly thinking. He knows how to use his height, reach and weight all in different parts of the ring.
