TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT

Mariusz Wach

Mariusz Wach is another giant that is helping Usyk prepare in his bid to be the undisputed world champ.

Wach has experience against some of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing including Dillian Whyte.

But it was his challenge for the unified heavyweight world titles against Wladimir Klitschko in 2012 that gained him the most attention.

The 44-year-old narrowly lost out on points and will be a valuable sparring partner for Usyk.

Emmanuel Odiase

As far as experience training with the best goes, Emmauel Odiase is hard to beat.

Despite only making his pro boxing debut in October – with a win against Emre Altintas – the German heavyweight has sparred with some huge names.

Odiase previously worked with Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora as well as helping Usyk in the past as he prepared for his fight against Daniel Dubois.

Volodymyr Katsuk

A fellow Ukrainian, Volodymyr Katsuk, is another who has helped big name fighters in the past.

The 35-year-old worked with Klitschko previously and has a record of 5-1 in the ring by himself.

Katsuk also helped Robert Helenius’ spar in preperation for his fight with Wilder back in 2022.

Darren Sealy

Perhaps the most unusual name on the list is that of Darren Sealy.

The unknown British fighter stands at a whopping 6ft 9in and is relatively new to pro boxing.

Sealy made his professional debut last year against fellow Brit Phil Williams, but wasn’t able to come away with a win.

Although he was part of Francis Ngannou’s team that helped him prepare for what was a shock performance against Fury in October.

However the most notable thing about Sealy may actually be that he an aspiring actor as well as a heavyweight boxer.
