David Adeleye is a young defeated heavyweight plying his trade under the Frank Warren promotional banner and is without doubt not short of any admiriers within the professional ranks. Alongside an impressive start with his professional career despite his age considering heavyweights and only 10 fights deep in the pro’s, he is a regular sparring partner for WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Fury who is preparing for his December 3rd encounter with Derek Chisora has once again got the twenty-six year old Adeleye in his training camp with the Gypsy King not shy to sing his praises.
“David Adeleye is the future of this division. I told him the other night in the changing rooms, I said, ‘You’ve got believe in yourself Dave, because you’re going to take over the division, mate.' And he’s great sparring, very very good sparring. If he was no good to me, then I wouldn’t bring him into my training camps," Fury told BT Sport's Chatterbox:
"But he gives excellent work, so I keep bringing him in – ever since the second Wilder fight. I keep bringing him in time and time again. He keeps learning, keeps listening and he can be the next Lancaster Bomber I think for sure.”
Adeleye, who added a tenth win to his undefeated record on the 11th of November , feels he is now a part of the Fury camp furniture because he has been sparring Fury for so long.
"I've been here for so long now, I mean ask Tyson I've been insured on his car for the last three years. Even when I'm not up there I'm insured on his car so I give him a text, 'Tyson, can I get the car?' He gives me his car, 'Dave, are you still insured on it?' I'm like, 'Yeah, we're still on the insurance.' But yeah, you kind of get used to it and you're always learning, like I said I'm like a sponge," Adeleye said.
"I go there, I sit down and observe everyone and any questions I do have I just ask and get the answers."
