His coach, Rafael Cordeiro, could be heard shouting, ‘Nice left hook!’ as the shot sunk his sparring partner onto the bottom rope. “We’re done, the job is over,” said Cordeiro in a behind-the-scenes video uploaded to Most Valuable Promotions YouTube channel. “You won all those rounds, all rounds.” The camera then cut to highly-rated undefeated American featherweight Carrington, who had been watching the entire sparring session from ringside. “Honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything coming in today but you have exceeded whatever bro,” he said. “You look really good, strong.” This is extremely high praise coming from a young fighter at the top of his game. Carrington currently boasts an unblemished 13-0 record and was named the 2023 Prospect of the Year by Ring Magazine. He is set to return to action on the Paul vs Tyson undercard next week against Dana Coolwell (13-2) of Australia. The video of the sparring and the subsequent feedback will build confidence in Tyson’s fans.
