I know he's being brought back slowly but I thought they'd step it up a bit more for the second fight lol

I guess he's at least 2 more fights (after this one) away from stepping up to either Joshua or Wilder.

Oh well, he's not that old, so there's time.

This guy is ranked 138 on Boxrec. He's probably a year a way from fighting Spzilka or Eric Molina level opponent.

Hardly a test and Pianeta’s stock has absolutely plummeted since his Klitschko defeat. Surely a top 30 ranked HW would be merited even while Fury shakes off the ring rust.

Lol he's the 13th ranked German as well.

How long does it take to get back into it? Lol At least he just fought in June.

It's almost like they're saying, "Let's make a few coins on your sparring matches."
