Who is Francesco Pianeta?

The 6ft 5in Italian is no stranger to Fury – the pair sparred together before back in 2013.

At the time Pianeta was an unbeaten world title challenger with a record of 26-0 before his sixth-round defeat by Wladimir Klitschsko in Mannheim, Germany.

He was knocked down three times by Klitschko in the bout as he lost for the first time.

Fury said of the sparring: "He was tough, strong, and he is a good opponent.

"It was before he went on to fight Klitschko and [Ruslan] Chagaev for world titles, but I was impressed."

The 33-year-old Pianeta's record now stands at 35 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw from 40 fights.

What have they said?

Fury: "Pianeta is just one win away from being back right there among the best.

"Everybody brings their A-game when they face me. They know it's a lottery win if they can beat me.

"Time is flying, and it does when you're having fun. I have a great team around me and we have got everything bang-on. I've never, ever been this happy with my training and routine."
