Heavyweight Efe Ajagba claims to possess video evidence of a sparring session in which he asserts he nearly knocked out Tyson Fury. The Nigerian heavyweight, who holds a 21-1-1 professional record, stated he is willing to release the footage if Fury engages in trash talk. This development surfaces while Fury navigates ongoing contract disputes regarding a potential bout with Anthony Joshua. While Fury has proposed a November 20 fight in New York City, Joshua maintains a preference for a matchup at Wembley in the United Kingdom. In response to the stalled negotiations, Fury has identified several alternative opponents, including Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, Agit Kabayel, and Filip Hrgovic. Ajagba expressed interest in facing any top-10 heavyweight, including those he listed, as he seeks his next professional contest.
