    Most media reports state that both Haye and Fury are set to pocket £5million each.

    Good idea.

    I think Towers would be a good opponent. Easily winnable for Fury over a undefeated and respectable opponent. Plus with Towers been British will give a bit of extra interest.

    Have channel 5 got any fights lined up that he could head line? Think a tune up is easier said than done

    There isn't a lot of tune up fights you could consider credible that don't carry a big risk for a Fury imo

    You could give him somebody like Fres Oquendo who would be credible but low risk. Personally I would put him in against Tony Thompson a definite risky fight but a KO win would send a big message to Haye and bump up the SBO hype for Feb 14.

    Tony Thompson was who I had in mind and at least he would get the 12 rounds in

    I think it would do Fury the world of good to be tested before Haye in Feb, Tony Thompson would definitely push him all the way although I doubt he repeats Price.

    People think it'll be a boxer like Thompson? Behave. Will be a nice gentle tune up. They will not risk a seven figure fight by taking on anyone remotely decent.

    I think thats the best suggestion.Around the same size as Haye,as far as Im aware only been beat once,to a good man.Prizefighter winner.Young.Gobby.This could possibly give the Furys a slight psychological edge,keeping busy while Hayes ring rust builds up.This will affect David,good as he is he's not Floyd Mayweather.I hope they do it soon.
