Who is available and a realistic possibility for this?

Sexton, Briggs, Price, Kabayel?
Depends what level you want to come back at really...

[PredatorHayds]

Be fantastic to see Zumbano Love over here again.

Fred Kassi in the Summer.

Finish the year off with a Christian Hammer Rematch.

That’s the level of opponent I’d expect him to have in 2018.

Opposistion is irrelevant, he needs ring time, fitness and he needs to stay active.

The major point that people have missed is that during his comeback he needs to keep his mouth shut and avoid any controversy that could scupper his big fights next year.

All publicity isn’t always good publicity.

The suspense is killing me
I know for sure it is going to be an "oh wow" opponent.
As in;
Oh wow, he's useless
Or
Oh wow, he's tough

Probably the former, but I'm going to stay optimistic it is a worthy opponent.

Your point?

On a British forum with a personal interest more towards heavyweights Fury is naturally going to be mentioned a lot. I dare say there would be loads of references to Joshua as well.

Like or loathe him Fury is clearly a relevant figure in discussion around domestic heavyweight boxing from a UK angle.

if that pic with stalker and jono carroll is recent he certainly looks like he might actually be ready to fight this year

maybe someone like sexton first. id be cautious with his first fight back. then maybe a kaybel or charr type next.

He looked pretty hefty on the clip of them running.

He looks an awful lot better than he did.

Not too difficult to improve on the mess he was in

[jamamb]

he wasnt improving on it before though. ill at least say its looking a more positive situation , have to start somewhere. maybe we will get to see aj pound him after all.

Saw a picture of him yesterday. He's doing well.

Any chance of him keeping his Ring title?

Any chance of him keeping his Ring title?

What? By boxing by Thursday?

Apparently he has to have announced a fight by Thursday to keep it.

I think that's a bit of a non-issue anyway; as per the Ring rules he can't defend his title against anyone. It has to be a top five ranked opponent and other than Povetkin they all have a fight signed up.

He'll lose the title even if he announces a fight because the opponent is inevitably not going to be good enough.

I've got a sneaky feeling W@rren is going to announce this fight for April 14th at the O2 and put the card on PPV...

[Mimmy]

Just looking outside of those who are available what would Jarrell Miller be like as an opponent unbeaten in 20 fights? Has a scheduled fight in April but no opponent named as of yet.

Miller will be on the Matchroom/Jacobs card. I reckon Hearn has Miller on a list of future AJ opponents...

[BitPlayer]

Surprised he's yet to announce anything. You'd think they'd want to keep The Ring belt

[jamamb]

the ring have been very generous to fury keeping him as champ as long as they have, and even saying he doesnt need to face a top 5 opponent. but watch the 'unfair! politics! racism! conspiracy!' talk come from certain corners when hes stripped
