    I was at the fight ringside on saturday -

    Fury took some big shots, but boxed quite well at times, and showed some skills.

    He has 3 losses against Parker, Pulev and Pov, but he is still only 27. His earlier losses was when he was only 23/24, and that's quite young in regards to being a boxer.

    Who should he fight next?

    He hasn't improved enough for me, I just think peter probably isnt as good as some think he is this far along.

    Tyson was limited under peter and so is hughie.

    Who does he fight next, hmmm.....

    Chisora isn't a bad shout, he could face the likes of Helenius or even Bakole too.

    Chisora seems perfect. He's good at promoting fights, which is good because Hughie bless him isn't really a natural at that. He'll come forward and give it a go and Hughie will be able to show his footwork and variety of punches. I doubt he'll KO him, but if he boxes smart he should get a good name on the resume and help to introduce him to a few more of Sky's viewers.

    Exactly whay I think. Chisora is the ultimate top 10 gatekeeper with a decent following.
    Beat Derek conviningly (wide UD in H Furys case) and Hughies value goes up.

    He should fight Ortiz. I think Hughie would beat the ancient Cuban. And would be a good scalp to take.
