    This card has now been confirmed for the o2 in Feb.

    I think he needs a statement win to heap the pressure on Wlad- Would like him in with Arreola?

    Who would you have him in with?

    Needs to be someone tall, tough and with a good jab. But it won't be anyone that good a it will risk his shot.

    They might drag Ustinov back into the picture? Be very easy to make after he has had his way with Kimbo.

    It wont be anyone decent, he's defending his Euro title so rules out a lot of possibles and he wont want to risk his mandatory position.

    Surprised they have gone for the O2 with this card, the Excel show sold well mainly due to Saunders v Eubank and whilst Eubank is on this card it wont be in an overly competitive fight I wouldn't think. Cant see it shifting that many tickets.

    Wach seems likely I'd imagine.

    Too tough Fury might break his hand on Wachs head.

    Price is meant to be fighting in Feb against an un-named opponent should offer him fight, that would sell tickets. I would strongly fancy Fury to win, though Price would have a punchers chance.

    Fury Price wouldn't be a bad match up Style wise and gives Fury a rough look at what its like to fight someone with height and reach close to his own and a massive right hand.

    But its career over for Price if he looses

    Usitonov, Price would be good shouts. Anyone decent like Browne is going to pose some risk so will probably be someone **** or someone well past it.

    It would be nice if it was a meaningful fight he's tred water for well over a year now not his fault but the Chisora fight was a waste. Although I do wonder if they are planning on fighting lefty V wald to disrupt the jab which in turn will slow down Wlads right because he doesn't like throwing it until he's certain it will land

    Christian Hammer maybe?

    He's bizarrely, ranked despite been ****. Would be an easy nights win over a ranked opponent for Fury.

    Another blown up CW or tiny, non-punching HW I'd imagine.
