Fury Pounds Ellis, Froch-Taylor Undercard is Next

By Mark Vester

UK heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury (5-0, 5KOs) blew away the much smaller Mathew Ellis (20-7-1, 9KOs) in only 48-seconds of the first round at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London. Fury came out with a Fury, barely breaking a sweat as Ellis his the deck within a blink of an eye.

"I was going to treat this as a sparring session and get some rounds in, but I loved the atmosphere here and wanted to put on a show. I want to thank Matthew Ellis though, as he was the only heavyweight who was prepared to fight me tonight," Fury said.

Next up will be his American debut on the undercard to Carl Froch vs. Jermain Taylor in Connecticut on April 25. There has been no confirmation if Showtime plans to show highlights of Fury's bout. No opponent has been named.
