He has got the same kind of style as a young Tyson Fury, he has lost a lot of weight like Tyson Fury, he is part of the fat camp, but my God, can this kid fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe shocked me to my boots, and I can\u2019t wait to tell Tyson that I have seen the new heavyweight champion of the world in the future. We want him to work in camp, we want him as a sparring partner, and it\u2019s incredible what you can see in unlikely places, because I never thought that I could see another Tyson Fury, but tonight, I have seen him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shala, 18-2, has yet to establish himself among the heavyweight division\u2019s leading contenders. The German prospect suffered a stoppage defeat to Petar Milas in April on the undercard of Agit Kabayel\u2019s victory over Damian Knyba in Oberhausen.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss, Shala had enjoyed success during the contest and was ahead on the scorecards before being stopped in the final round.<\/p>\n<p>As for Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight champion has been linked with a long-discussed showdown against Anthony Joshua. Fury, who turns 38 later this year, has repeatedly stated his intention to add another world title reign to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 before eventually walking away from the sport.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TOcvFaheYHI<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI think that I have just spotted the new Tyson Fury in Granit Shala,\u201d said John on social&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":646486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-646485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
