What's next for Tyson Fury?
His promoter said he'll likely be back in June.
Has anybody heard who his next opponent will be?

I hope he gets back to fighting every month or two.
I'd really like to see him fight McCall or Toney.

Rahman's fighting Povetkin next - the WBA in their wisdom have Rahman as the #1 contender. Crazy stuff.Livingstone Cole wrote:Rahman?keithmoonhangover wrote:I hope he gets back to fighting every month or two.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
Would be good to see him in with a yank like the guys mentioned above.
Michael Grant would be a good fight I'd like to see, or Monte Barrett.

I'd love to see him fight David Rodriguez, but I don't see that happening.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
I'd imagine it'll be someone relatively obscure. Coleman Barrett or Darren Corbett in a title defence.
Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
I'd like to see Fury in with somebody decent like Franklin Lawrence, Mariusz Wach or Carlos Takam.
Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
I 'd like to see him move towards the European title so if he's having another two or three fights in 2012 it would be useful to pit him against an EBU top ten rated contender to put him in line for a crack at the European title in 2013.

Shannon Briggs would be nice.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
I'm not sure whether or not to take the McCall and Toney suggestions seriously... Perhaps Fury could fight a live opponent, not some past it bum
Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
That would be a good fight, I can see Fury outboxing/outworking Briggs but could just as easily see Briggskeithmoonhangover wrote:Shannon Briggs would be nice.
knock Fury into next year. I think Fury has too much though at this stage.

I'd like him to have a fight that he could learn from. McCall and Toney would be such a fight.Shambles wrote:I'm not sure whether or not to take the McCall and Toney suggestions seriously... Perhaps Fury could fight a live opponent, not some past it bum

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
Can't be very far off a Klitch offer given the fighters they've been picking as opponents of late, the fact is he will take the fight for the cash and end up ruining a half decent career.
I'd personally prefer a domestic showdown between him and Price, I think Price is better suited to world level the Fury.

He would learn what to do against savy fighters with good chins and defensive skills. They would both also come to win 100%.crusader wrote:What would he learn?keithmoonhangover wrote:I'd like him to have a fight that he could learn from.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
Toney hasn't shown good defensive skills in years and he weighed 273 in his last fight, indicating a lack of motivation. It would be a major step back for Fury to face an obese 43 year old who couldn't win a round against a cruiserweight, received a gift against Danny Batchelder, and apparently had a competitive fight with Bobby Gunn.keithmoonhangover wrote:He would learn what to do against savy fighters with good chins and defensive skills.

McCall is less shot, so he would be more acceptable. He was, however, outclassed by Timor Ibragimov and Cedric Boswell, and hasn't defeated a meaningful opponent in years. Therefore, he would also be a step back given that Fury is world ranked.
Fury should fight a top 25 opponent next; he can still learn against opponents who aren't old, shot, and irrelevant.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
They are past their best, no question, but to me they aren't shot quite yet.Shambles wrote:I may be wrong but they're both shot aren't they?keithmoonhangover wrote:He would learn what to do against savy fighters with good chins and defensive skills.

Re: What's next for Tyson Fury?
That's just semantics. Shot or well past their primes, Toney and McCall are unable to be competitive with decent opponents; the former even struggles with mediocre opposition and couldn't win a round against a cruiserweight contender!
