WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury said that the famous British footballer, former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney will take part in his preparation for the fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
I talked to Wayne Rooney last night, and he said he's ready. But he's right-handed. Anyway, we're going to bring Wayne in to prepare for Usyk. Am I kidding? No, it's very, very serious. He's agreed and he's going to come to camp for about four weeks to help me out. I'm a big fan of his.
