He's aggressive and fun to watch in the ring, and because of his Chisora-like behavior, outside the ring he gets peoples' attention.

He's going to be tested on Feb 23. Zimnoch isn't a world-beater but he has solid fundamentals and a good amateur background.

From what I've been able to ascertain Fury's next opponent will be Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Steve Cunningham, and Manuel Charr.

Or Tony Grano.

Oh god, I hope Fury doesn't go for Grano. He's been coming along well; i'd like to see him step-up again. Perhaps fight Dimitrenko/Helenius?

Chagaev is done. He'll be a solid gatekeeper, mind.

Hardly surprising.

Perhaps Boytsov will actually step-up now? He's been in-and-around the Top 5-10 for a good while now, without fighting any contenders...
