Not a great opponent but it is Fury's first fight back no point taking any risks at this point. He's a cruiserweight who lost a decision to Charr. He looked tiny compared to Charr so will be utterly dwarfed by the huge Fury. Don't expect a competitive fight, it will just be Fury doing what he likes against this over matched foe. Fury at his fattest could probably beat Seferi. I just hope Fury has another fight soon after, this fight is meaningless and it's only purpose is to get rid of some of the ring rust.
Speaking to Independent last month, Seferi said it would be a dream to face the 'Gypsy King': "This would make a dream come true. I never thought I'd have the chance to stand against Fury - my idol. Fury is a boxing legend of the 21st century. He is tall, has weight and strength, moves to it quite easily, and he has dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. Fury is a bear."
The reason Eddie didn't sign Tyson. Expect 3 or 4 low level fights, before he's fed to the bodybuilders long lost brother Daniel Dubios. Fury is irrelevant now.
Said he could beat Joshua without a tune up, surely he could of got Charr, Wach, even Ustinov. If you can beat Joshua after 3 years out in your first fight back then surely you can beat one of the above. Fury was growing on me but I know there will be threads after it saying Fury is back at his best he's unstoppable and the Seferi win will all of a sudden be on par with Ali beating Foreman.
Yeah people shouldn't be fooled by this guys record, his last fight was against a guy who had been KO'ed 23 times and was 42. The guy before that was 43 years old. 4 of those 23 wins came against guys that had never won a fight before. One of them is currently 0-14 with all the losses coming by way of KO. On the surface Seferi has a decent looking record but in reality he's a gloried punching bag. Shannon Briggs would KO this guy with ease. Fury has a better chance of being struck twice by lightening while in the ring than losing to Seferi.
He went 10 rounds with Manuel Charr back in late 2016. Would Tom Little or Dave Allen level be able to do that? He clearly isnt complete mince meat.
Surely if only for marketing and selling of the fight purposes Furys opponent should at least physically resemble a true heavyweight. I hope Fury doesn't return to his drug use after this fight, to relieve the backache he will suffer bending over to hit this guy, dam if Seferi fights 'small' he would be able to run through Furys legs, a new technique in the boxing manual.
Unconfirmed as of yet, has to wait and see if he's going to be finished painting my house in time that morning. In all seriousness, just glad to get Tyson Fury back in the ring
