Highly-ranked Nigerian heavyweight Efe Ajagba claims to have video proof of himself ‘almost knocking out’ Tyson Fury in sparring.The 2016 Olympian has shared the ring with Fury many times over the years and was one of his main sparring partners for his third fight with Deontay Wilder in 2021. Ajagba claims to have hurt Fury badly in sparringInstagram - Efe AjagbaRumours began to circulate during the third Wilder camp that Fury had been hurt in sparring.And while Ajagba didn’t explicitly point to when the supposed incident occurred, he recently told FightHype that he had Fury out on his feet.“I almost knocked him out in sparring; everybody knows that, he knows,” said Ajagba.“I have video proof. I have a video on my phone, but I don’t want to post it.“If Tyson Fury talks trash, then I will post it. “But he doesn’t say anything, so I don’t have to put it up.“If the fight happens and he starts talking trash, then that’s when I will put the video out.“Tyson Fury said no videos, but I wanted to watch it back to learn, so that’s why I have a video, not so I could post it on social media.”Efe Ajagba’s recent formAjagba had been in the mix for a world title shot when he was ordered to face the only man to have beaten him, Frank Sanchez, in an IBF final eliminator last year.However, he opted instead to sign with Zuffa Boxing.Ajagba has been in camp with Fury multiple timesInstagram: Efe AjagbaWhile Sanchez went on to flatten Richard Torrez Jr to secure his No.1 spot with the major sanctioning body, Ajagba would face former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin in February.The 32-year-old knocked out Martin in the fourth round to get himself back on the winning track following a frustrating majority draw with Martin Bakole in May last year.Many felt Ajagba had done enough to win the all-African showdown.But while one judge scored the fight 96-94 in his favour, the other two had it 95-95 even after 10 rounds.Ajagba is now setting his sights on a top 10 opponent. “I want to fight Tyson Fury, Usyk, Agit Kabayel, Filip Hrgovic, anyone in the top 10,” added Ajagba.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.
