Fury on Adeleye

World Boxing Council (WBO) heavyweight champion Tyson Fury rates Adeleye highly.

Adeleye sparred with Fury for his fights against Dillian Whyte at Wembley and Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury believes Adeleye is going to explode in the heavyweight division in the near future following multiple sparring sessions.

British professional boxer of Nigerian descent David Bankole Adeleye is set to return to the ring in February.

In an interview with BT Sport Boxing’s Chatterbox, he said, “David Adeleye is the future of this division.

“I told him the other night in the changing rooms, you’ve got to believe in yourself Dave, because you’re going to take over the division.

“He’s great sparring. Very, very good sparring. If he was no good to me, then I wouldn’t bring him into my training camps.

“But he gives excellent work, so I keep bringing him in, ever since the second Wilder fight. He keeps learning, keeps listening and he can be the next Lancaster Bomber for sure.”

The fight between Adeleye and Bezus is scheduled for York Hall in London, England on Friday, February 17, 2023.
