Tyson Fury has tweeted saying he has flown to London to sort a huge fight with a surprise opponent???!!

[Nightmare Roy]

The only opponent that I'd prefer to Wladimir is Vitali.

They would seriously shift some PPV's. Big bro comes out of retirement to avenge his brothers defeat! The yanks love Vitali too, huge fight!

[Mimmy]

Shannon Briggs has been a bit vocal so maybe a fight with him, an easy option for Fury??

please no... Briggs would get a hammering. Though the build up would be fun

Could it hughie fighting price both fighters would fancy there changes and Hennessy has a london card next month doubt it's anything to do with hearn/AJ

[Rob3_142]

Oh come on this a publicity stunt if anything. He'll fight his contractual rematch in the summer and then turn his attention to Wilder (providing he wins). The match up with Joshua is nothing more than a fans pipe dream, especially for a fight this summer. Providing both continue to win, there's no reason why they can't meet in the summer of 2017 though.

[keithmoonhangover]

It won't be Povetkin or Ortiz that's for sure.

Oliver Holt?

Fury V Joshua June Date Previously Booked For Khan V Brook????????

[Datsue]

Wilder?

If it's not a piss-take to take away the shine from the Joshua-Martin fight, I thought that Wilder would be the only viable big name; there's always Haye but Dave shouts his mouth off so much I cannot believe he'd be able to keep it on the down-low beforehand.

[Cyclops]

Agree to fight Haye, pull out the night before the fight with a twisted ball sack.

He doesn't even need to train

good idea.

[gilgamesh]

The tone of the tweet makes it seem like it isn't either of them. The wheels of my mind start turning and I find myself wondering if it's someone completely out of left field like Lennox Lewis, who Tyson harasses on Twitter every now and again. I mean, I doubt it is but when I start thinking of people who would be a complete surprise my mind drifts to Lewis.

Or Vitali

"Some massive news coming soon, had to come to London for an urgent meeting about a massive fight,TBA very soon, u will not believe who!!!!!!"

Could well be about Hughie Fury if it isn't just a big wind up.. Hughie v Haye would be an interesting surprise now we know it's definitely not Joshua or Martin

If it's about Tyson, then really only Haye of the current crop of heavyweights would be a shock given what Tyson has said recently about him. If not someone currently from the division then it could be either a retired fighter..maybe Vitali, or someone moving up in weight. Someone like Kovalev who doesn't have an opponent yet for June would be crazy!!..although he's unlikely given his contract to meet Ward in November. Stevenson would be a shock but not sure if that really would be a huge fight given Stevenson's lack of exposure to casual UK boxing fan.

My guess is it's just all a wind up.

Wouldn't be the first time the other Klitschko brother tried to avenge his bro's loss.

[broomy7s]

Can only see him dropping the Klitschko fight for Wilder. Does seem to be very quiet from Klitschko tho.

[TopGun]

Surprised Vitali hasn't had his name mentioned around much? I cannot see it being anyone other than Wlad...no way Wlad will retire off the back of his last fight. I just think Fury was trying to steal the limelight off Joshua last night by tweeting.

Or they're going to dig Jack Johnson up and have a 20 round bout.

Are you on a wind up, Kovalev or Stevenson, what planet you on?

I don't think anyone from the Fury team will have anything to do with Haye. Even if it's in Tyson/Hughie's best interest. I get the feeling that Tyson would vacate all the belts before agreeing a deal with Haye, and one assumes that the rest of his team feels the exact same.

Agree. Don't blame Tyson at all. Twice he's been burnt by Haye. He'd be mad to put his time, effort and money in to another camp for Haye. Too unreliable.

[reggaereggae]

His Twitter implies it's a wind up

Probably just trying to take a bit of attention away from Joshua's announcement yesterday

Good.

Of course it's a wind up
