What's next for Tyson Fury?

[Freedom.]

He says he doesn't want a title shot until 2013.

So I wonder who he'll fight next? Hopefully a ranked contender, not a clubfighter.

Someone like Lawrence, Wach, Takam, Pianeta, Ortiz, or Jennings would be okay.

I said it before, people wants to put him in with wolves too early. He's young heavyweight, who still improves from fight to fight and also looking at his weight he might've found his real dedication just now. He's not Riddick Bowe, but pushing him to world level too early could make him end like Riddick Bowe.
To me, he should clean up domestic scene from guys like Audley Harrison, MAtt Skelton,Sexton and Sprott, fight undefeated bums like Leif Larsen, make U.S debut against some decent opponents and not even think about stepping up to world level untill early 2014.

How would someone like Maurice Harris do in the ring with Fury? Harris is still stern enough to test youngsters. He beat Edmund Gerber but the Germans robbed him.

I think Fury-Harris could be a decent fight. Harris has been in there with some of the best.

Travis Walker is just a danger man when you're unlucky to catch him on his good days. He wobbled Kubrat Pulev who is quite a stone man.

I'm not certain Mick Hennessey wants Tyson in the ring with a ranked body just yet. I do think he should fight someone ranked within the next year though.

Harris can't fight tall guys, so he's easy for Fury, but solid test. Walker may be too risky and not worth it in reality if they are not trying to challange for a title in the nearest future.

I wouldn't mind seeing him matched-up with Sprott for a September fight.

After that, though, he ought to be looking at the likes of Adamek.

I'd pick Ortiz, Wach, Lawrence and Jennings over Fury at this point. And I think he'd wreck Pianeta. Fury has talent, but it's raw talent right now that he needs to fine tune. I watched Lawrence's most recent big fight against Estrada, and he beat Estrada more convincingly then Povetkin and Adamek, and he KO'd Estrada, something Povetkin and Adamek couldn't do. I think Franklin Lawrence is the dark horse wildcard of the HW division. He's in his mid 30's right now, but with only a little over 20 fights he's still fresh. Ortiz and Jennings are very talented as well. Luis Ortiz gets little to no publicity and is never talked about and he seems to be avoided by a lot of fighters. He probably has the fastest hands in the division next to Eddie Chambers, but he actually has power as well. I think Lawrence, Jennings, Ortiz, Fury, Price, Wach and Pulev could be the future of the division.

Spot on. Fury is Hennessy's cash-cow; he won't throw him in with a ranked fighter until C5 say so.


Aside from this, he (Fury) should be looking for a new trainer. He'll get nowhere with uncle Pete.

I'd like to see Fury against Chisora again, i will bet my GF (avatar) that he'd beat the dog **** outta Fury now
