Sparring with recognised names isn't really a big deal in the UK. Most boxers train at the gyms where they grew up, and 99% of them are open to anybody.
I've never sparred with a superstar pro, but I've worked the heavybag alongside Alex Arthur, hit the pads while Dan Hardy was training right next to me, and had Carl Froch briefly watch one of my sparring sessions.
Boxing is very much a grass roots sport over here, that's why I find it totally believable that the OP has sparred with Witter.
