    I wonder why Fury met up with Price, I thought that a bit weird considering he normally slags the life out of him.

    Ok I’m being a bit optimistic here but hear me out.
    Tyrone spong from the Netherlands, 6’2 former mixed martial artist with 11 ko’s from 11 fights against a bunch of nobodies. Ranked 13th in the wbo

    Too optimistic?

    People are getting way to ahead of themselves. Some of these names! I think we’re looking at someone ranked around 80-150 on boxrec. Positive record but low KO percentage. Do some research and you’ll narrow it down to a few.

    I've narrowed it down to this shortlist:

    Slobabum Plodovic (Croatia)

    Duncan Donutz (Oklahoma State, U.S.A.)

    J.D. Weatherspoon ( Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A.)

    Got ya. Fury I think started feeling a bit softer towards Price after the Thompson defeats. I don't think he's the type to kick a man when he's down, and Price bar the Povetkin effort has been down a long time

    Arnold "Garbage" Gjerjerjerjerjjj is holding out for another go at Haye, so I doubt it's him.

    Shannon Briggs isn’t a risk? He’s 46 years old and inactive. This should be the first fight and Fury should win in two rounds if he wants his come back to be taken seriously
