GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven recalls the first time he sparred with Tyson Fury, who defeated Wladimir Klitschko for the heavyweight title this past Saturday, and how working with the new heavyweight boxing champion has elevated his boxing skills in GLORY competition.
Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko this past Sat. (Nov. 28, 2015) to win The Ring, IBF IBO, WBO, and WBA heavyweight titles (highlights here), ending the Ukrainian's 11 year reign as champion with a unanimous decision victory.
GLORY heavyweight champion, Rico Verhoeven (46-10), has been a sparring partner of Fury's the last few years and, of course, he was excited Fury upset Klitschko to win the title.
