    I was still waiting for him to show us the surprise that was so hush hush that he promised in the pre-fight interview after the fight was over......

    Still, a good prospect all the same

    After this fight I would expect to see some progression on the domestic scene. I would be happy with an area title and then an english title. Then I'd like to see him positioned for the British title, maybe an eliminator just so he can get an extra fight under his belt. This is the progression I want to see if he is the world champion he claims. If he doesn't talk about being a world champion, then I'm happy for him to go at a much slower pace and not fight for the British title until he is 15-0. As it stands, Rogan has shown what can be done in 11 fights!.

    He is fighting every month so up until 10-0, I don't care who he fights as long as they help his progression in some shape or form i.e. tall guy, short guy, southpaw etc When a fighter is 10-0, I think each fight is just a time waster. It has to have purpose after that.

    warrens not going to let Chisora near Fury. Also Chisora has been caling everyone out but hasnt said a word about Fury.

    Im sure Fury will get the British title shot soon.

    That's actually a good piece of matchmaking by Hennessey Sports...

    Swaby will be a good test for Fury...

    I'd like to see Fury in with Fraudley within a year...

    Does this opponent have hair on his head and a waistline that is under 60"?

    Fury has been trying to get on the domestic scene since he turned pro Swaby is the firsdt guy to step up to the plate.

    Swaby has 2 wins over a Chris P Bacon that cant be real surely?
    Could be an interesting fight if Swaby has something in the tank

    Well, it would be good to see him gearing his way towards an 8 round fight with Sprott as he has called him out. Also, it shouldn't be difficult for Hennessey to position him in line for an Area/English title shot. That will inturn position him for an eliminator or British Title shot. This can be done inside 10-0 fights.

    At present, I cannot complain about a man who is on his 4th fight in 4 months. It's exactly what should happen. He is on ITV and the deal Hennessey has with ITV seems to be helping his fighters immensely.

    Wow! Shocked by this actually. A decent step up for Fury and should tell us quite a bit about him.
