“I believe I’ve just discovered the emerging Tyson Fury in Granit Shala,” John conveyed via social media. “I’ve reviewed his footage and his boxing prowess, and this young talent is truly remarkable. He possesses a fighting approach akin to a younger Tyson Fury, he has shed a significant amount of weight similar to Tyson Fury, he’s associated with the ‘fat camp’, but my goodness, this individual can truly fight.

“He utterly astonished me, and I’m eager to inform Tyson that I have witnessed the next heavyweight world champion. We envision him working in our training camp, serving as a sparring partner, and it’s incredible what you can find in unexpected places, as I never imagined I’d see another Tyson Fury, but this evening, I have seen him.”

Shala, holding a professional record of 18 wins and 2 losses, has not yet cemented his position among the top contenders in the heavyweight division. The German prospect experienced a defeat by stoppage against Petar Milas back in April, occurring on the undercard of Agit Kabayel’s triumph over Damian Knyba in Oberhausen.

Despite ultimately losing, Shala had demonstrated effective moments throughout the contest and was leading on the judges’ scorecards before being halted in the final round.

Regarding Tyson Fury, the former holder of the heavyweight title has been linked to a long-anticipated bout with Anthony Joshua. Fury, who will reach the age of 38 later this year, has consistently expressed his ambition to secure another world title reign before eventually retiring from professional boxing.
