Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall: Remember when Tyson Fury helped Scotsman prepare for Jose Ramirez

Josh Taylor stepped up his Las Vegas training camp for his undisputed super-lightweight clash with Jose Ramirez with a little help from Tyson Fury last year.

Taylor and Fury are both managed by MTK Global and as a result their paths have often crossed over the past few years.

The Scottish star, 31, has formed a formidable partnership with coach Ben Davison, 29, after a messy split from Shane McGuigan, 34, in January 2020.

Davison has also been in Fury’s corner before, for his pair of wins over Tom Schwarz, 27, and Otto Wallin, 31.

He also helped Fury shed loads of weight prior to his fight with Deontay Wilder.

And the Gypsy King was only too happy to help Taylor get ready for his unification fight with Ramirez.

Footage shared by ESPN shows Fury body sparring with Taylor at the Top Rank gym in Las Vegas.

Fury can be seen backing up against the ropes before Taylor let rip with a flurry of punches to his midriff.

But the lineal heavyweight champion of the world stood firm and encouraged him on.

ESPN’s video has now been viewed more than 474,000 times. It’s received over 5,000 likes and has racked up around 6,000 engagements in total.
