    Nope. Fury 's best amateur achievements were > World Junior Championships Bronze medalist, European Junior championships Silver medalist, and Senior English ABA champ aged just 20, which he then turned pro straight after.

    Losing to Price at a very young age is nothing to be ashamed of, Price was a top amateur who went on to win Olympic bronze.
    Anthony Joshua was a greater amateur fighter than Tyson Fury, and his achievements were superior 'Olympic Champion, World Championship Silver Medalist, Two time ABA Champion'.

    Tyson Fury fighting David Price, who was a then Commonwealth Bronze Medalist 'Was one of his biggest achievements. It Tyson Fury's most stand out and notable amateur performance'.

    Note: That is no disrespect, but it was the most covered and documented Amateur performance of Tyson Fury's entire amateur career 'Putting in a good effort vs David Price, but ultimately he was beaten'.

    The main point, I was making in this thread? Is that Tyson Fury in vast portions of his career, has not really fought at World or elite level 'Both in the amateur and professional ranks'.

    Sparring a few prospects that nobody really knows, what they will go on to achieve 'Is not suddenly going to erase, his lack of overall experience at elite level skill for skill' etc.

      Bakole would have been a good option, but maybe Usyk doesn't want to get KTFO again.

        Ask yourself what the alternative is. There aren't many high level professional boxers like Fury. There is noone else Usyk can spar that would imitate Fury.

          Seems logical to get some big lumps in camp. Tough to find any at Fury's level though.
