Fury vacates titles to 'challenge' for world title

Fury is an accident waiting to happen,Price would have knocked him out,it seems he realized this too

Fury said: "It's been an honour to have won and held both the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles, but as I'm now currently number number seven in the world it's time to move on...

"I'm really excited about my future plans as I'm doing things differently and currently training like a Trojan in pursuit of becoming heavyweight champion of the world."

This made me smile.
Is it possible to train like a Trojan??
Is he cunningly hiding a ATG heavy weight in the exterior of a fun if a little overated heavy (by some/ previously)
Or just hiding generally ;o)

there was a little more to the trojan story than the horse. pretty epic war story to say the least.
besides, you'd never manage to hide a lump as big as fury!
be interested to see where he goes from here. he's a very rough diamond, but he has all the ingredients to be an exciting top heavyweight if he actively improves. he's only what 23? so no need to go getting beat up too much yet, needs to develop. whether or not he will do who knows but be good for the division if he does

Yep, blatant duck for sure but Fury must have a bit of sense as Price would kill him.

Fury and price are both good fighters.

Fury has taken a big punch on the chin and got back up. Better he taste the canvas in those small fights, rather then get hit on the chin in an important fight, andfind he cant take it.

Price has not been hit on the chin yet, until he steps up his level of fighters we will not know.

Both future champions when the k's have retired

Devil's advocate...

Hennesy has lost some fighters from his stable and Fury is his main source of income with a terrestrial TV deal with Channel 5.
I can see why, from a business point of view, that he's keeping Fury away from Price. The likelihood is that Price beats Fury. Price naturally jumps above Fury for a title shot in next year or two. It could be sooner as the likes of Chisora and Tony 'The Tiger' Thompson are getting/near to getting title shots despite Thompson giving the weakest HW title 'challenge' I can ever recall.
This means that to gain any credibility Fury HAS to pick his next opponent or two very carefully. He has to go for a top ten or at least 'name' opponent, or his excuse of concerntrating on a title shot is shot down in flames.
Shame as Price v Fury would have made them a decent payday.

Fact is, David Price could have had the fight and for fair money. (Assuming Sky contract would allow.)

100,000 was a fair offer for a British title challenge.

Maloney must have known that by taking the line that it wasn't enough money, that they wanted it to go to pure bids, that the fight wouldn't happen.

Fury flaps it HARD from Price you know. And this guy easily beat Fatboy Chisora...

respect to fury ... he knows his limits

[Cleaver]

Maybe not against Rogan, maybe not even in his next couple of fights, but Fury will be getting knocked out soon, and I will have a wedge of cash on his opponent for some nice odds.
