Tyson Fury is expecting a close contest when Fabio Wardley defends his British heavyweight title against David Adeleye this weekend.
The bitter rivals will be chief support to Fury’s huge crossover bout with Francis Ngannou and some within the boxing community expect them to steal the show when the bell finally sounds.
Both unbeaten, this bout will represent the sternest test of each man’s career up to this point and the pair have previously come together at the fight’s press conference.
Wardley begins the bout a significant favourite, but Fury believes there’s nothing between them and he’s spoken about the fight ahead of his own contest.
“That’s a really good fight. I’ve had David in camp a lot of times. He’s a good fighter. I’ve sparred Wardley and he’s also a good fighter,” said Fury when speaking to IFLTV
“To me, I don’t care who wins but they’re both good, undefeated British heavyweights so it’ll be an interesting one. I think it’s a real 50-50 fight.”
