Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury With Heavy Interest To Fight in Australia, Demsey McKean a Possible Foe

[786]

He’s an justifiable voluntary but he’s not a threat. Zhang has nothing for Fury.

Doesn't justify him fighting bums and shot fighters.

Breaking News: Tyson Fury has stated he has 'moved on' from McKean after his set of 'ridiculous' demands to be included in the contract:
- %5 of the purse split (up from 3%)
- Cab fare to the fight
- Allowance of (1) stool in the ring between rounds so he can sit

Fury will now target Dmitry Bivol for the 175lb title at a catch weight of 278lbs.

I like Fury but this is just not good. Unless this is some tactic to speed up something better, this is pretty bad

Fury doesn't want to train hard anymore unless it's a big fight, this is nothing but an exhibition, if you can get away away it with the casuals why not!

McKean is a disgraceful choice. I’m not trying to justify anything.

Aside from Usyk, there’s nobody I’m interested in seeing Fury fight.

The HW division is trash.

Mauricio Souliman has not enforced a mandatory fight. It's been 13 months FFS. Bunch of clowns

Can't argue with that.

I mean it does align with TR's investment in Australia but it's straight-up pathetic IMO.

While Australia has Demsey McKean and an undefeated record, me thinks Fury's true target is old buddy Joe Parker, who I brought up as Fury's next likely foe moments after the Usyk melodrama imploded. Fury has lathered Parker time and again in sparring. To boot, their old buddies. At the announcement last week that Fury was heading to Australia to support Joe in his match tomorrow, my forecast on Parker as his next foe went from 50% to 95%. I assert that Parker accepted January's return with the understanding Fury wanted a back-up foe in case the whole Usyk negotiation-thing went sideways. Parker was smart enough to accommodate knowing a win would position himself for another tune-up about the time Fury came knocking. I can foresee a July date with Fury cruising over an outclassed Parker.

Reading betwwen the lines Fury thinks Parker is an esier fight than Usky who he ducked ans Zhage who coukd knock him out.

Zhang is a poor opponent too. Something far worse doesn’t suddenly make Zhang a credible threat.

Why is Zhang not a credible opponent? He dominated a top HW contender in his last fight (Juggernaut) and lost a highly controversial decision to another top contender (Hrgovic) in the fight before that. Style-wise it makes for an interesting fight IMO. Zhang is slow-footed but he is a good pressure fighter who can punch and knows how to cut off the ring. He has also shown a great chin and a sneaky but highly technical southpaw offense. Apart from Usyk, he's as credible an opponent or better for Fury than anyone else mentioned so far. For entertainment value, Zhang's cool personality might be a perfect match for Tyson. All he has to do is smile and stay quiet and Fury will surely lose his marbles and start slinging the racial slurs.
