The Chagaev matchup is great at this point but it may take a while till Chagaev forms a new training team. Probably better to let this for 2013. Michael Grant would be a fit as well, he is interested in fighting Price so there is a chance he will entertain Fury too. Tony Thompson is another good fit. Dimitrenko, Stiverne, Wawrzyk, K. Johnson, F. Lawrence, Pianeta, Gerber, Cameron, Towers, winner of Tupou vs Scott, all make sense and even Meehan, Holyfield, Zumbano, J. Pudar, Haumono are decent as stay busy fights, much better than journeyman Madallone.
Just seen Boxing Ireland tweet this "EXCLUSIVE : Tyson Fury vs Ruslan Chagaev at Belfast's Odyssey Arena on December 1 for the WBO Interc title. #IrishBoxing #FuryFaithful". So it looks like it's official.
Bloody impressive if true. If Fury was to pull off this win he would have a better win at HW than any other Irish or British active fighter.
Great fight. The management of Fury's career has been excellent. McDermott 1 was asking too much of the inexperienced kid but other than that, he has been matched perfectly to gain meaningful experience without too much danger of losing. The past prime Chagaev is the next step and I think Fury will take this one. Also :happy @ it being on in Belfast. ****s up there get all the action!
think il pop along to this, as well as the frampton show. Be great if Belfast became a hub for fights, a neutral spot for fights to come to and still sell tickets
Nice one, always had faith Fury wasn't a bottler. The Price non event came down to money, Fury is the real deal mark my words.
Very nice to hear that this fight is actually happening! Very good matchup for Fury. If he wins this one he has truly proven himself. And something tells me he'll win this one by late stoppage.
