    Efe Ajagba next for Fury?

    Tyson Fury’s promoter, Bob Arum, has revealed that Nigerian professional boxer, Efe Ajagba, is among the three most likely candidates to fight his client in London in December.

    Arum said that Ajagba, Oscar Rivas, and Agit Kabayel were in contention to face Fury in two months.

    “Yeah, those are the names,” Arum told iFL TV. “It’s not rocket science.

    Ajagba? That would just feel wrong. Like giving a ten-year-old kid the keys to the car. You know it would make him happy, but he's not ready yet.

      Doubt it, Ajaba was criticized his last fight out for not doing more/looking better against his opponent, can't see Timmy and the ESPN crew turning a 180 on this.

        If there is one fighter who can make Fury look incredible, its Ajagba.

          It's too bad that Ajagba looked so boring in his last fight because this match makes a lot of sense if Fury is going to fight Joshua next. Ajagba and Joshua have similar dimensions and reasonably similar styles. Kabayel and Rivas are too small to warm Fury up for AJ.

            Pretty much this.

            Ajagba is not even ready for somebody like Wallin.

            Ajagba and Yoka are not ready for Fury.

            If Fury wants somebody big, he should fight Hrgovic.

                Risk the biggest fight in the history of British boxing? Nah.

                He'll fight someone safer.

                  Actually if Fury fights before retirement Top rank guys only, which means:

                  Rivas, Kabayel, Takam, Yoka, Ajagba....it is still better run than Wilder`s defences fighting Szpilka, Duhaupas, Washington.

                    Are you kidding? He said it was on IFL. And he's right, that's what Arum said.
