    according to the main mans twitter - 'got a good opponent and world class'. This was 40 minutes ago. any ideas? someone half decent or just there to make up the numbers? less than 3 weeks to go.

    The more boxing on normal tv the better as far as i am concerned :happy. and Also (see what i did there? :D) according to his twitter, chris eubanks jr looks like he will be on the bill again

    Vinny Maddalone was world class according to Channel 5, can see this opponent being just as poor.

    I'd take that with a grain of salt. Hopefully he surprises me but I can't see him fighting a tough opponent then Boytsov two months later. It'll be a stay busy fight. Someone like Albert Sosnowski or Timur Ibragimov is the best we can hope for.

    well you obviously give more than you are letting on or you wouldn't have gone through all the effort in uploading that.

    1)I didn't upload it.

    2)You must be a ****ing lazy **** if uploading an image is considered an effort.

    World class? I say Fury is lying, or his idea of world class is simply wrong.

    Even if it is a **** opponent, I don't think Fury can be blamed. He has really tried to step his competition for this fight, but has been unlucky.

    Sorry to say but Fury is still fighting opponents at a higher level than Froch was at the same age.

    he's fighting higher level than most opponents are at his age

    he's younger now than price was when Fury floored him, and yet Fury is the one with the "glass chin" :rofl
