Helenius Fury. I wouldn't be against it for a step in opponent. This new aggressive Fury should be able to take him apart brutally. Instead they are going to throw a softball at Fury I bet...which sucks.
Fury landed 85 punches to Wilder`s 75, people seem to forget that it wwas a cagey boring fight until the first knockdown, up to then it was just a jabbing contest, Fury didn`t throw many 1-2`s but made up for that in the second bout.
Wallin should fight Wilder and then the winner to take on Fury, but we have to see AJ v Fury at some point.
Alen ''The Savage'' Babic gives Chisora's daddy Whyte all the work he can handle and some in the gym. I'm not saying The Savage beats Fury yet but that's hardly a knock on him considering the later is the GOAT. The Savage handled Shawndell far easier than Parker did who let's be honest struggled against him and let's not overlook the fact that The Savage is both entertaining in and out of the ring. The pre-fight press conferences will be pure gold and I think that's just the shot in the arm the sport needs right now because the only entertainment mannequin man AJ is going to be providing for us during the press conferences for the Fury fights is him being on the receiving end of a biblical verbal shellacking.
This one may be heading to the courts. Phil Kay on World Boxing News has just posted: This content is protected says that any judge will accept the argument that the covid lockdown made it impossible to stage the fight in Vegas within the duration of the rematch clause. I'd say that's debatable, but it's certainly a potential legal strategy which could be used to gain an interim judgement curtailing Fury's next fight.
I'm not sure why people are saying Helenius would be good. Helenius was KO'd by Gerald Washington last year. He struggled to beat some bum with a losing record the year before that. Even in his prime (YEARS AGO) he needed a gift to get past Chisora. Kabayel is clearly a better option.
I don't think Helenius is much of a challenger at this stage, but it sure beats Fury's non Wilder opponents since his return.
