By Scott Gilfoid: 37-year-old former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (25-6, 12 KO’s) will be joining unbeaten British/Irish heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) to work as sparring partner to get the 6’9” fighter ready for his September 28th fight against David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) at the Manchester Arena in the UK, according to Fightnews.
Cunningham will be joining Fury’s other two sparring partners 38-year-old Michael Sprott and Dillian Whyte to try and get him ready for what he’s going to be facing in the ring against the faster, stronger, and much more experienced Haye on September 28th.
The word is that Fury’s team is also interested in having American cruiserweight Eddie Chambers come over to work as a sparring partner as well.
