Tyson Fury warned he is "spent" by heavyweight sparring partner

Tyson Fury has been warned by sparring partner Alen Babic that he is "spent' and could lose to Joe Joyce.

The 'Gypsy King' recently picked up his latest win over Derek Chisora in December and is now eyeing a shot at the undisputed titles against Oleksandr Usyk in his first fight of 2023. It is expected to be a busy year for the WBC champion who elected to make a U-turn on retirement and continue fighting despite initially wanting to compromise his undefeated record.

In the preparation to his last fight, Fury sparred several rounds with rising star Alen Babic who is expected to receive a bridgerweight world title shot in his next outing. And the Croatian fighter has claimed that Fury admitted he has aches and pains in his elbows and arms which could begin to affect his performances.
