BoxingScene.com recently caught up with 2016 Italian Olympian Guido Vianello (4-0) as he trains for his September 14th fight on the Tyson Fury-Otto Wallin undercard. The fight card takes place at the T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas strip.
The 25-year-old heavyweight prospect was guided by Abel Sanchez for his first 4 fights in Big Bear, California. He now is training under the guidance of Kevin Barry in Las Vegas.
“We started about one month ago for my 5th match. Everyday is perfect. Everyday we work alone without other people. It’s just me and coach and Taylor. They are building me. They are building my technique and my long punches. I am very happy,” Vianello said while comparing the tranquil setting in Barry's gym versus the busy atmosphere at Sanchez's gym. “Yes they were like classes there. Three or four people together. I prefer this where I train by myself and the coach is only thinking of me. One hour and half that is only for me.”
Vianello also gained valuable experience sparring with Fury for his June fight against Tom Schwarz that Fury won by 2nd round knockout. He believes that Fury is the best heavyweight in the world and that he will beat Deontay Wilder in their rematch that is penciled in for the first quarter of 2020. Their first fight ended in a controversial split draw.
“We are friends. It’s fantastic to fight on his card. I think Fury will beat Wilder. His technique is the best in the world now. The first fight I thought Fury won but they called it a draw. Now I think you will see the best Fury,” Vianello told BoxingScene.com. “He told me to relax in the ring and not think too much, too feint more. I learned a lot from him.”
