Heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury is predicting another explosive performance in Norwich this Saturday night when he features live on ITV4 on the undercard of Jon Thaxton’s first European Lightweight title defence. The unbeaten Fury will be going for his third straight win as a pro on the Hennessy Sports event when he takes on Daniel Peret in a scheduled 6 rounder. The Norwegian based Russian is a veteran of 35 fights but Fury isn’t impressed..

“I‘ve seen Peret fight and he’s a big Russian lump who’s in for a real hiding come Saturday night,” blasted the 20-year-old. “I hope he doesn’t think he’s coming over here for a nice weekend in Norwich because I can guarantee you he’ll be leaving with painful memories of the place.

Fury is an absoulute man mountain, he was on setenta earlier today saying how everyone is running scared from him. I'm not suprised, a 6'9 pikey boxer, who wouldn't be running?

He doesn't need to be ripping on David Haye though

How did the lad get on then?

won, second round tko
fight stopped due to cut over opponents left eye

tyson seems to be doing well his last fight was ok but he didn't show us anything we didn't already know. i think he still needs to lose alot of weight he seems to have a strange pear shaped physique but he is showing signs of losing the bulge around his hips and waist.

imo he shouldn't worry about haye just yet, in fact hes a long long way away from being haye sparring partner.

His most recent fight was his worst performance so far IMO.

The positives:
He tried to box rather than just attempting to steamroller the other guy
His weight continues to come down

The negatives:

Poor jab. A good jab has many uses, but primarily Fury should be looking to use his to keep his opponent at the distance that he wants him at. When you are 6'8 and your opponent is 6'1, you shouldn't throw that away by fighting at the range that suits him. Fury's jab was weak and not once did he use it to stop the tomato can guy from coming forward. Granted, the other didn't throw much, but when he did Fury seemed wide open.

Switching to southpaw 2/3 times. WTF was that about? To me it looked as if he simply got out of position and tried to style it out. Something to avoid.

His opponent. Not really Fury's fault, but hopefully they stick to the likes of that German-Scottish guy (ie. game but limited and a bit fat) rather than the one that showed up last night (no effort, looking to get out of there ASAP, very fat).

Movement. I suppose this is more to do with not having much of a jab, but he got backed into the ropes when he should've been able to stand his ground and land straight punches or an uppercut as the fattie came forward.

Keeping his hands too low. Even guys with great technique can't afford to do this. Considering that Fury doesn't have great technique or head movement, this isn't a good idea. It's better to be in the habit of keeping your hands up than to think 'I'll wait until I'm in against better opposition to do it'.

Even guys as skillful as Gamboa fall back on old habits, leading to KDs against them. Fury's trainer should get him out of this ASAP, even if he's only against guys with losing records.

I'm sick of hearing about this cunt already.

He needs to get in some serious conditioning work in the gym.If he does that,he is could go a long way,but I noticed that he got caught square on a couple of times last night,and if he fights someone that can bang a bit he could be in trouble.He is only 20 years old,so 6 months of hellish conditioning work would be a good investment at this stage in his career.He needs to get rid of that pear shaped bulge around his midriff,and get som muscle definition in the top half of his body,get some muscle on those thin arms.If he does that then he will be a truly fearsome fighter,because he has pretty fast hands for a guy of his size and seems to pack an ok dig as well at the moment,but if he could add some real power into his shots then he will be knocking people over and out.

This was the first time i've seen this guy fight, after hearing a lot about him.
His opponent imo was an absolute disgrace! One of the most out of shape boxers i've ever seen!
Fury himself, I agree, needs to work on his conditioning..he looked a bit flabby too.
p.s Why on earth are peole mentioning this guy in the same sentunce as David Haye? Haye would KO Fury within 3 rounds for sure!

Bit of a freak, and a big head, he will soon gome down with a bump, for a big bloke he has skinny short arms, and lacks power, I think even Logan would blow him away.

Think we should try and remember he is a 20 year old novice - who's only getting the exposure he is because of his height.
Personally i'm a fan...A 6'9 gypsy from Manchester! Love to see what the yanks make of him if he gets to a 'world' level!

He will probaly disapear off the map of Boxing by the time he is 27

Thats 7 years mate, he could do alot by then

Haye would get rid of him faster than that 1 round and the job would be done, he's such a hype job, all he's got going for him is he's massive, other than that he's very average.

tyson fury is surely a ring name right? i had to you tube him, but no offence to his fans but i think he is a brit butterbean. and its not to say butterbean could not fight because he could but just on a very limited level. i have much respect for ANY man that steps in the ring, but just because he is young does not mean he will develop into a world-class fighter. im sorry you have to be born with world class abillity first and this bloke just does not have it

Maybe not but his fights are entertaining.

He said he can beat the Klitchsko's a few weeks ago. That's when I lost respect for him and stopped following his progress.

you sure? if he did he cant be lacking enthusiasm then.

fury does more dancing & trash talking than training.look at his chicken legs that's a sign that he has no power.he needs to shutup & work on conditioning & lower body strength.

If he has as bad a chin as ive been told he has, he`ll be doing alot more dancing.

**** me! Where have you been mate?

I Furys second fight I thought he was really good, but after his last fight I ahve gone right off him. He looked terrible.

maybe because he tried something different in fighting from the outside.

Tyson Fury = a White Audley Harriosn.

I am a romanie gypsy myself .......so i have been hearing loads about Tyson for a while now .. i will reserve my judgment until hes had a few more fights !
But hes not helping himself mouthing off like hes been doing:dead:

the only way to get noticed in boxing nowadays is to talk crap and have abig mouth.

Yeah but don't you think calling out Haye or the Clit-co`s at this early stage of his Career is going abit far and turning him in to a bit of a laughing stock !?

Thats exactly why I think hes an Audley Harrison.

I know what you mean but dont you think he might make a better pro than Harrison ??

If you think a microwave is better than oven, its not the machine but what meal your cooking.

Your better puting chips in the oven but some folk have microwave chips.

Tyson will be like Harrison and be lazy with some fights, going for Micro chips instead of using the oven !

As you say.. he's only a novice and it will be years before he is climbing in with the likes of Rogan or Skelton, let alone Wlad or Haye. He certainly does need to work on his physique for more power and I suspect more stamina - that hasn't been tested yet - but he has plenty of time to do so while he gains experience. In the meantime, best thing to do is ignore any hype and come back to see how he's doing after another dozen fights.

u cant judge him on the fights hes had because theyve been against low class oposition that theyve probably just brought in off the street. When hes fighting ppl who can hit back then well see the real tyson fury. In my opinion hes a typical "pudding" but well. Hope he does well though seems like a good guy. Maybe theres a fight with big Pricey down the line that would be interesting.

To be fair, that Zeller guy seemed better than anyone Audley faced early in his career.

Who is promoting Fury anyways ?
Whats the hassle with getting him fights ?

let him make progress step by step.
now he's fighting burger king employees..next step is a pizza delivery guy...his toughest test will be a taxi driver..i heard that cab drivers are good at boxing in the UK.. :asshole:

Who is promoting Fury anyways ?

hes promoted by Mick Hennessey, the guy that promotes Carl Froch and John Murray. hes been quite active and has fights coming up in march and april.

Ahh well Mick better get his finger out his arse so we can see a real test For Fury since Fury is so confident he don't need easy fights to kick start his career.

Ive seen this guy fight, someone played a cruel joke when they named him. haha

Daniel Peret that "fought" Tyson Fury is not the same as he was a couple of years ago. He is not only a tomato can, he is a tomato can that lost it completely.
See the difference between the pics with Tyson fury and below a pic 4 years old.
Was this fight considered a "step up " for Tyson Fury?

Tyson Furys record is miles better than most heavyweights at the same stage of their career. In his second fight he beat a guy who was 21-3.

You realize that Floyd Mayweather Jr fought a guy with a 1-13 record in his 9th fight? And you're complaining about the quality of this guy's opposition in his 3rd? I'm more concerned with his pitiful performance and attitude, open mouth and non-existent jab. Who the hell cares who he's fighting at this point? The kid hasn't even finished growing yet.

good point! agree with everything you said!
its only his 3rd fight and hes still young so give the kid a chance!

whenever theres a bit of hype surrounding a british fighter theres always a deluge of haters! but thats boxing fans for you i guess!
the james degale fight was a good example of that! his first pro fight which he won comfortably and he was being booed!! totally unjustified IMO

As everyone is saying, it was his third fight, the great Roy Jones was still fighting Tomato cans when he was in his prime!

Excuse my ignorance but whats with the Tomato cans analogy ?
Never heard it used on boxing before but then again this is the only boxing forum I've joined.

Before anyone else says it - :newbie:

Yes, to be ignorant is to be without knowledge.


I don't get the Tomato can thing but it doesn't really have any major impact on my life if I get the joke or not.
