Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Enlists Jarrell Miller as Sparring Partner Ahead of April 23 Bout with Dillian Whyte

I get it because of millers similarities to Whyte, pressure fighter etc...

This isn’t a good look for Tyson, daily mail are already trying to make him look bad over UKAD, he’s just giving people ammunition at this point.

I wouldn’t want miller anywhere near me, imagine picking up his water instead of ya own by accident! Jeez Louise

Good that Miller got this sparring gig. If he can stay clean, he can be back in the mix. Just don't dope again, as that would be a full ban.

He should have already had a permanent ban. He was a walking medicine cabinet who hung around steroid hounds and even cheated when he was a kickboxer.

Genius move to get the US Whyte to prepare for the UK Whyte.

I'm sorry to inform you mr. Tokon, but I received the post-match drug tests back, and at least 2 of them tested positive for an anabolic.

1 of them was bizarrely adamant that it was because he'd been cavorting in a ginseng patch near a mountain woodland in Korea.

Sounds like a reasonable justification. Thanks.

Fury's usual sparring partner would beat Whyte, but unfortunately he's injured so we won't see him on the undercard.

Who is that? I don't think Fury has been known for sparring hard. Neither has Anthony Joshua to be honest.

I can only go by what I have read. I have read David Haye's book, and even throughout the years heard many stories 'Haye would go all out in sparring'.

Whether that was the actual sparring, or the quality of the sparring partners he employed.

I actually think sparring after a certain point in a fighters career is overrated 'Especially if they are getting bashed up on fight night. Fury in my opinion is starting to get bashed up, these fights at elite level are a mighty struggle for him'.

At grassroots level, sparring can help fighters get used to the environment of violence. But after fighters have come through all of that, and are deep into their careers. I honestly think staying in condition, and maintaining punch technique is more important.

Haye, Kiltschko were at certain points in their careers doing way over 100 rounds of sparring in training camps. This was maybe necessary for David Haye, because of the frequency he would fighting and? He never really took much punishment until his last two fights.

It is a interesting subject anyway, the Ingle gym I believe issued a rule where fighters could only use body punches. And then you had the original team Tyson & Cus-D'amato, who prohibited the use of head guards 'Mike Tyson was at the beginnings of his career, before he was champion? Not allowed to wear a head guarding during sparring'.

I wonder who Whyte's sparring partners are?

The training camps are pretty much over now anyway, April 23 rd. Fury & Whyte should pretty much be in fighting condition now.

Miller has served his time, and Fury is giving a helping hand to a down and out guy. Good for him.

I'm not sure I'd call Miller down and out. Memories in boxing are short when somebody can sell tickets. Get a win and he'll be back in the mix

Yeah true, but he's at the back of the queue. Fury bringing him in for sparring has got his name back in the media.

It wouldn't surprise me if Fury did this on purpose knowing how much attention it would get.
