Cleveland-based heavyweight Nick “The Stone Man” Firtha (20-8, 8 KOs) has agreed to cross the Atlantic to take on the undefeated British and Commonwealth champion Tyson Fury (15-0, 10 KOs). The fight will take place at Kings Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland on September 17th. Firtha extended newly crowned WBA heavyweight “regular” champion Alexander Povetkin the full ten rounds last December so his fight with Fury will be a good measuring stick.

It is an on going saga...
Assuming they both win their next fights, they can meet later this year or early next, and keep stoking the fire in the meantime. By then, it will have been built up as a grudge match, and Rogan will have a world title belt that's every bit as big as the Klitschkos', make no mistake about it.

Which world title belt is that?
I find this move to Belfast very odd. Surely Fury wants to capitalise on his C5 ratings so would want to fight in England to get some publicity.
