    Sprott turned down £13k to fight Fury apparently.

    He can only fight who's put infront of him. Looks like he is being avoided atm

    Fights like last nights are utterly pointless. I really fail to see what he would have learned from that. His opponent was tired after the first round. Was ridiculous.

    He's only a pro a few months longer than Luke Cambpell.

    Have you been criticizing Campbell's opponents?

    I thought not.

    Lee Connelly who fought Campbell last week was a decent opponent, Fury and his team just seem to be interested in beefing his record so on paper it looks good. 12-0 now but hasn't been tested once yet, but to be fair it's very early days, I can see why they are not rushing him because any domestic level fighter would give him a good competitive fight right now.

    Dorian Darch who Fury beat is good enough to be Anthony Joshua's next opponent.


    Lee Connelly had lost his last 4 fights going into the Campbell fight. A million times better than Fury's opponents? I think not.


    A lot of Campbells family still live in Ireland and his grandfather was an Irish national boxing champ. Might be a bit too much Irish blood in Campbell for your liking.

    What's the rush. Why match him tough then be washed up by 25. Do not know what his amateur career was like but he is still learning.

    According to this forum all Brits are crap anyway, and don't go one about Mike Tyson, he was a once a generation prodigy.
