Tyson Fury tried out a weird technique in his first sparring session in over a year

Like something from the UFC

Darragh Murphy

Tyson Fury has always been one to do things a little differently.

Both inside and outside the ring, Fury is something of a free spirit and always expresses himself in a unique way.

Even the undefeated heavyweight’s fiercest rivals would admit that boxing has been a worse place without Fury but, with the 29-year-old back in training, we won’t have much longer to wait before he returns to the ring.

Fury has already shed most of the weight he’d gained in his two years away while he’s also had his licence reinstated in recent months.

After teasing a massive announcement with regards to his fighting future, Fury engaged in his first sparring session in over a year and, unsurprisingly, he broke out an unusual technique.

Veteran Australian heavyweight Lucas Browne had the privilege of welcoming Fury back to sparring and he’s revealed that ‘2 Fast’ attempted a move that is more commonly seen in the UFC’s Octagon.

Ahead of his upcoming WBC Silver heavyweight title fight, Browne told Seconds Out all about the sparring session.

“We had Tyson Fury come down for one session, so that was definitely interesting!” Browne said.

“A lot of shenanigans taking place, he did a spinning back elbow on me and all sorts of things. But it was good to get amongst it and just move around.”
