‘TNT’ is set to fight this weekend on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte. The 22-year-old is set to face fellow prospect Daniel Bocianski in what is expected to be the biggest test of his career.
Days away from his bout with the Polish boxer, Fury’s father John compared him to a legend. The colorful trainer compared his son to unified middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin in a recent interview.
Fury has now reacted to the comparison from his father at the pay-per-view undercard press conference earlier today.
The light-heavyweight prospect seemed thankful for being compared to someone of ‘GGG’s pedigree. He also noted that those who have seen him in the gym know his true skill.

‘TNT’ discussed training with Aspinall at the aforementioned press conference. While discussing how sparring has improved him as a fighter, he noted that he used to fight the future UFC fighter as a teenager.
