Following the sparring session a beaming Adams said, “Yeah, I was sparring with Tyson Fury. Johnny (trainer Johnny Eames) called me last night and told me I’m sparring Tyson today.
He’s a good boxer, I sparred with him four rounds. I’ve never sparred someone as big as him, he’s very big, very tall. The sparring went very well, and I was like using my jab with him, even though he has a longer reach. He has a long reach but I still landed the jab on his body and his face, so sparring went very well.
I’ve been sparring with Dutch Cruiserweight Mitchell Balker, Light Heavyweight Joel McIntyre and Heavyweight Damian Campbell and now Tyson so I think I’m working it out with everything it’s been amazing and it’s been going so well for me.”
Adams then spoke briefly on his chances of winning the £32,000 prize up for grabs at Prizefighter – Heavyweights IV, “I’m very fast for a Heavyweight, I’m the fastest Heavyweight in the country. I think because of the speed I’ve got. I think Prizefighter is perfect for me. No one is going to cope with me with my speed“
