Tyson Fury's next opponent.......

[teddy007]

Has been confirmed as Matthew Ellis. Thoughts? Not bad for 5th pro fight.

[deadpan]

It'll be his first clean kayo.

The size difference will be positively Valuevian.

[mickeyb]

They're flying Ellis out to the states? Or are they squeezing another fight in?

In a couple of weeks at York hall i think.

[whicker]

Ellis is a bit like Lee Swaby- a decent experienced pro, but an easy enough win for Tyson.

That's not true...Ellis will be the first billion dollar athlete

[Coco]

It probably will be a comfortable enough win for Tyson and I think they are matching him correctly. He has a lot of time on his side and is still a novice, he needs these learning fights

[forcefraser]

very decent for his 5th fight.

[Spiker]

There was once a lot of hope for Mathew Ellis about 12 yeas ago.
I remember seeing a clip of him tipping cars over in training :)
If Ellis could get into any sort of shape or mindset he may have a very slight chance.
What with Fury smacking himself in his own mouth as well DD

Good statistical record........

Wont show him a thing tha the he hasnt seen already and he'll fold nice and quickly enough but the record looks nice

would show how hard he hits compared to enzo macc (harder hopefully)

[Old bones Ian]

Ellis usually gives it a go in the first couple of round.
I'm still awaiting what happens when Fury gets punched back

No way does he punch harder than Enzo. I dont even like enzo but you cant deny he can punch at a certain level.

[alexpaterson]

Fury should be able to deal with him but a quite a tough fight for only his 5th pro fight

[n1ebf]

this match up should have been very predictable actually

[Old bones Ian]

Fury has impressed me with his body punching , and thats where Ellis is weakest.
Still for a 4 fight novice its a good match.

[Tommy Gunn13]

Ellis has no ambition left whatsoever
Hes there just for the payday...
He will be looking for a way out after 1-2rounds..

[hitman_hatton1]

easy fury win.

[rhino222]

disappointing match up i think, i would consider swaby a tougher opponent than ellis (not once upon a time but definately now).

Wy would Ellis turn down a 40-year-old cruiserweight Terry Dunstan and then accept a fight against an absolute giant heavyweight Tyson Fury?

more wonge..dunstan would be on a small hall show undercard......for £1500... and the fury fight would be live on itv for £5000.

now ....... im not an accountant, but even i can work it out... 8)

[Dioufy]

Ellis is a very good opponent for Fury at the moment - I don't think anyone should complain about that. He's fighting every few weeks against decent opponents for his development. It's not often we see fighters like Fury progressing this fast - long may it continue.

I doubt Ellis will be getting that much. If anything, it will be closer to the first figure (1.5). Nobody's going to pay someone like Ellis 5K for a fight like this. Not with the lack of money in boxing nowadays anyway.

[Autobarn]

The Macca win over Ellis takes some shine off this one.
