With less than a month for Fury to find an opponent it becomes less and less likely that fury will be able to achieve what he wanted, which was to fight an opponent which can be considered a top 10 heavyweight..... or even on the first page of the heavyweight boxrec ranking system now!

Both Ruslan Chagaev and Denis Boytsov passed, claiming they were not fit enough to face Fury on that date!
So with that in mind, who could be available from the first page of the boxrec heavyweight ranking page to face Fury?

I believe the current possibilities are:
1. Vyacheslav Glazkov
2. Alexander Dimitrenko
3. Michael Grant
4. Franklin Lawrence
5. Tony Thompson
6. Odlanier Solis

These are the only fighters who have not fought recently, or are not currently signed to fight in another fight (excluding Vitali, Haye, Povetkin and Pulev, which just wont happen). However I apologize as I am not 100% sure if any are currently injured!

So with that in mind, do you think there is any chance of the fighters mentioned signing up to fight Fury in Belfast, and if so who?
Or do you think we are going to have to start looking at the 2nd, 3rd or even 4th :o page to find an opponent for Fury? TONY GRANO!!!!!

I always thought it would be Grano because of his ranking, but he lost to Nicolai Firtha so must be terrible.

No way is it Solis, would need 8 weeks in a locked training camp just to lose the weight.
