I Never Thought I’d See It

“I think that I have just spotted the new Tyson Fury in Granit Shala,” said John on social media. “I’ve looked at his videos and his boxing ability, and this kid is incredible. He has got the same kind of style as a young Tyson Fury, he has lost a lot of weight like Tyson Fury, he is part of the fat camp, but my God, can this kid fight.

“He shocked me to my boots, and I can’t wait to tell Tyson that I have seen the new heavyweight champion of the world in the future. We want him to work in camp, we want him as a sparring partner, and it’s incredible what you can see in unlikely places, because I never thought that I could see another Tyson Fury, but tonight, I have seen him.”

Shala, 18-2, has yet to establish himself among the heavyweight division’s leading contenders. The German prospect suffered a stoppage defeat to Petar Milas in April on the undercard of Agit Kabayel’s victory over Damian Knyba in Oberhausen.

Despite the loss, Shala had enjoyed success during the contest and was ahead on the scorecards before being stopped in the final round.

As for Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight champion has been linked with a long-discussed showdown against Anthony Joshua. Fury, who turns 38 later this year, has repeatedly stated his intention to add another world title reign to his résumé before eventually walking away from the sport.
