A. Joshua to bring in Team GB's heavyweight giants as sparring partners to help prepare for Wladimir Klit

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

Anthony Joshua likely to spar with Team GB's Joe Joyce and Frazer Clarke for Wladimir Klitschko fight

The 40-year-old Klitschko stands at 6ft 6in and Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested the towering amateur duo of Joe Joyce and Frazer Clarke could return after working as sparring partners in the past.

Joyce, who is the same height as the Ukrainian, is expected to turn professional after winning silver at the Rio Olympic Games, while Clarke was unbeaten in the recent World Series of Boxing campaign.

"Obviously we want people to replicate Klitschko's style, so big, tall heavyweights," Hearn told Sky Sports. "We'll be bringing about three or four in, probably starting about seven weeks out.

"I think Fraser and Joe Joyce, they have given him a huge amount of rounds. He's not the easiest person to spar with. We need to get those big guys in, who are going to replicate Klitschko's style.

"I think you've got to mix it up. Someone like a Marius Wach has got great experience anyway, but sometimes you want the younger, fresher guys who are going to try more and put you under more pressure. Then you want the other guys who are going to try and frustrate you and slow the pace down and make you box at their pace as well."

Do you practice at being a total fanny or does it just come natural?

Just go to a footballmatch of Ajax, and look around the stadion for guys, you'll find plenty of 6ft7 ish guys, even up to 7ft2 and still muscled.

He really should, posting text for a source he hasn't cited is pretty much plagerism.

Netherlands is hardly the hotbed of boxing talent either. Rachel Hersisa, the Dutch Sonny Liston says everything we ever need to know about Dutch heavyweight boxing :lol:

Sparring big and tall people, mainly kickboxers. The Dutch completely dominated the kickboxing heavyweight league for nearly 3 decades now.

Our Dutch friend is right Tyson does go there to spar big 7 foot Ajax fans I was privileged enough to see one session when a heavily muscled Dutch Ajax fan handled Fury quite easily over 8 rounds wearing nothing more than a pair of those giant foam gloves with the finger pointing skywards wrestling fans are so fond of. It was an impressive exhibition by the Dutchman.

I know right, he is so frustrating. Occasionally you tolerate, other times you hope you meet him so you can stick a pick axe in his head!

Yep Horse is right. Don't just copy and paste whole articles, give a summary then link to the original source.

I'd say post the link but the full text as well.
Often the stories come from sources I have no desire to click on.
I go on football forums and people post links to a story in the Sun or Daily Record, I'd rather not know than click on anything from that shower of shite. If it's worth reading (which it often isn't from the above sources) just let me know what they said.

That's not really allowed though.

It could get this forum in trouble.
