    Peter Fury mentioned after the Chisora fight last weekend that Tyson would be out again on the Feb 28th O2 arena show against a top 10 - 15 ranked opponent.

    Any ideas - can't see it being too risky with the Wlad fight in the pipeline but then again Fury needs decent fights in order to get himself 'up' as otherwise it has an adverse effect on him.

    Wonder whether Fury will fight someone listed 10-15 in the WBO to further enhance himself with them or fight an opponent outside of the WBO... which would most likely be the WBC I'd imagine.

    With him now into position to face Wlad, surely a taller opponent would be more ideal for obvious reasons.

    I've heard people mentioning Carlos Takam - although he's recently just lost to Povetkin.

    Lucas Browne is another name I've seen being banded about and they've been linked a few times.

    Ustinov...

    Think I've heard of him - is he a teak-tough Ghanaian?

    Never been stopped?

    Browne or Ustinov would certainly do it for me although I won't hold my breath. Really does need to be someone good to get Tyson motivated and in shape.

    At some point Tyson will have to stop fighting short, stocky heavyweights. you'd have thought. Or will he. It'll probably be Lucas Browne or some other 6ft2 slow coach.

    Lucas Browne is actually deceptively tall - he's 6 ft 4.

    Wach surely? I'd they have no intentions of fighting Wld then it could be someone like Adamek/Perez.

    Who is next in line for Browne anyway?

    Browne/Thompson/Ustinov/Hammer/Scott. Good chance that it's one of these guys.

    How can he further enhance himself with the who when he's the number one ranked contender?
