    I've heard hes got a weak chin too. I've never personally seen him fight though so I cant pass judgement.

    Hes a fantastic prospect, and I have no evidence of him having a weak chin.His name is actually Luke Tyson Furey[ it's an Irish name], but for his boxing career he will drop the e and spell it Fury.This kid has everything, and should go all the way.

    he is 6ft9 18stone and he is only 20, he punches very hard, but thats all i know about him, he hasnt been stopped or floored as an amateur from what i know of, so i dont know about his chin, he is also a bronze medalist at the world junior championship.

    I thought he was Pikey?

    Also, why the heck would he have an "e" in his name if his dad didn't when he was a pro fighter?
