    It's shannon the cannon for me. A truly dangerous individual for 3 rounds

    Marius Wach type of character for me. Decent looking record, old and semi-inactive, no fight lined up and not associated with the Hearns.

    Fwank won’t pay anyone decent enough money to get KO’d so it’s off to the Hungarian pro circuit for test number 1.

    I honestly think the opponent will be nowhere near the Wach level. I believe it will be a semi durable top end journeyman at best in a 10 round contest. Looking forward to Fury being back but think he will carry first opponent to get some rounds under his belt then stop him.

    It will be a gerber or pianeta euro type. 50 percent ko record with a few losses not big puncher

    It's sensible approach he has been out ring for such long time then a Shannon Briggs type then even try fight charr

    It will be a Donny Palmer type bum. Total BUM CITY opponent. This is why I feel they should have snuck him on the Selby-Warrington undercard, but Frank will want to rinse this.

    It will be lower than most of you think. I'd be surprised if he's as good a journeyman as Sokolowski

    Fury has to make a statement with some risk on paper but in reality no risk (if there is such a thing in boxing) the public (and furys future potential opposition) have to see something that strikes fear in other heavys
