If Fury is to win, as a minimum requirement he's gonna have to have improved his stamina. Because Chisora is likely to test him more than John McDermott did and Fury was very close to wilting in their first fight.

Fury will stop him inside six rounds. Stamina will not be an issue. Del Boy is taylor made for Tyson.

If im honest, I can see the argument for Fury being tailor made for Chisora. Fury is a big lad with long arms and is susceptible to a shorter opponent rolling under his arms and getting into range to hit him, as demonstrated by John McDermott in fight one and two.

Definitely an intriguing fight. Im favouring Chisora but wouldnt be disappointed with a Fury win.

In other words, we'll let you have this one for free but if Tysons any good you'll have to cough up 15 notes to watch him. Disappointing.

If Hennersey can secure this along with future fights, its the one thing that might keep him in business. Without it, his career as a promoter could well be over

Brilliant move from Hennessy. You can't keep a good man down :TU:

Now it's down to Fury to do the business. It's a tall order for Fury, but this is what he wants and Hennessy has delivered. I still make Chisora a firm favourite but Fury's fighting spirit is a huge factor in this.

Football on Ch5 is much easier watched than on ITV. I'm sure the boxing will be the same.

Because we don't get Adrian Chiles!!!. Hopefully Five will have Jim Rosenthal fronting this.

Rosenthal did Europa League for Channel 5 last year, so cant see any reason why he wont do this.

Not a good comment from Hennessy though, I suppose they've only got this fight as Primetime are desperate for people to buy Khan afterwards, looking very much like a one hit wonder to me but I'll enjot it while it lasts.

Have to remember we got Theophane on the bill as well and I'm looking forward to seeing him again.

Good news even if it one off.
I still remember their first foray into boxing many moons ago: Holyfield vs Moorer II :TU:

Was gutted when that turned out to be a one-off :(

(does this count as a "return"?)

You've got to say that it's great for boxing and the fans to be airing on terrestrial TV but talk about shooting yourself in the foot with Mick's comments in the papers. He shouldn't have made that comment in a million years unless he's trying to bluff the public into making them think that Fury is PPV quality. Fury and PPV just don't go together for me.

I think Chisora will beat Fury to be honest. Price beats Fury as well if that ever happens which I don't think it will. Tom Dallas might be about Fury's range and even then he might get beat. It's good times for our heavyweights though even if they aren't world beaters yet, still going to be good to see them face each other over the next couple of years but please no PPV talk at this stage!

I think he does the Monday Night American Football Game when it is the American Football season and he does KOTV on Channel 4.

You need to read the report in yesterdays express it explains things much clearer.

They are talking about building fighters on terrestrial tv for as long as it takes to make them into household names and when the time is right for say world title fights then put them on there pay per view arm when more money is needed.

Seems like a win win situation for everyone

Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy said: “We are absolutely delighted we are back on terrestrial TV with Channel 5 – it’s a huge deal for us.

“Tyson is a great heavyweight, he is very marketable and a great talker. This gives us the chance to build the fighter and then, when he’s big enough, when he’s a proper household name and the time is right, they can flip him over to their own pay-per-view channel Primetime.”


Nothing about building fighters on terrestrial, it simply states that they'll take him to PPV as soon as he's big enough. By "big enough", I infer lucrative enough. If PPV wasn't the most important part of this deal why is it mentioned in the third sentence of the press release?
