Fury's next opponent will be 20-6-0 Matthew Ellis. Quite a jump up from Lee Swaby. I absoloutely love this kid, he fights every month, is big and he apparently seems to be willing to take on most anyone available. Predictions on this fight? I see it going into the 5th round, before Fury TKO's Ellis.
He used to be a decent journeyman. I'm not sure how much he has left, though. Still, a good sort of opponent for Fury at this point. I'd like to see him face someone tall, though: Fraudley got into the habit of fighting short and stocky (a nice way of putting it) boxers who he could beat mainly with his height. A tall opponent would force Fury to pay attention to the fundamentals of the sport.
:huh Can someone tell me wtf a tomato can is? And I always thought a journeyman someone who will travel anywhere anytime,to fight anybody. A promoters saviour. I've always hated the term bum,but where the ****s tomato can come from?
not bad for such an early fight. to be honest people will still criticise him when he gets in there with the likes of McDermott and Skelton. Sprott would be a good opponent for him after Ellis.
Quality fight considering it's still so early. Ellis offers a good record but alot of experience. It's early days and this is the sort of opposition he needs. It's a shame Fury doesn't look like the next Tyson.
