Tyson Fury - Let The Heavyweight Shake Up Begin
By Thomas Gerbasi - “We’re in for a bit of stir up in the heavyweights over the next few years,” said British heavyweight Tyson Fury while in the closing stages of his training camp in Ottawa for Saturday’s matchup with Steve Cunningham, and if you’ve been following the division for the last couple years, you can guess who Fury believes will be leading the charge. The funny thing is, he’s probably right. And that has little to do with the way he fights, though at 20-0 with 14 KOs, he seems to have that part down, even if he’s still a bit raw around the edges. But what Manchester’s Fury has done better that anyone since countryman David Haye is bring a spark of excitement to a division that’s sorely needed it. And you get the impression that he’s only getting warmed up. “There’s nobody who’s come, grabbed the division by the balls, and kicked it on its head,” he said. “And that’s where I come in. I’m not all talk; you get these British hype jobs and these European fighters and they can’t really fight. Let’s be real. I’m a realist. If I couldn’t fight, I’d say I can’t fight. If Steve Cunningham gives me a good fight then I can’t fight and I’m not gonna be the super champion that I’m saying I’m gonna be. I like to be real, I don’t want to con anybody and I can fight. I can fight southpaw, orthodox, in close, outwards, upside down – whatever you want to do, I can do. I throw combinations, I punch hard, and I’m an exciting fighter. So here we are, the savior of the heavyweight division.” At 24, Fury has the brash confidence of youth, even if his body of work doesn’t yet live up to such claims. That’s not to say he’s been fed a steady diet of easy foes. He’s battled British vet John McDermott twice, unbeatens Rich Power, Marcelo Nascimento, Neven Pajkic, and Dereck Chisora, while also handing defeats to Martin Rogan and Kevin Johnson. That’s a resume few heavyweights in the modern era hold after 20 fights, and it’s why he has the confidence to travel across the pond to headline this weekend’s show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden against Cunningham.

Fury, Cunningham Dedicate Fight to Boston Bombing Victims
By Jake Donovan - The world continues to react to Monday’s senseless bombing in Boston. The terrorist act - a timed detonation at the finish line of the Boston Marathon during Monday afternoon - resulted in three confirmed deaths and more than 140 injured. Life goes on in the boxing world, but doesn’t prevent the sport’s participants from offering its human side. Among those whose focus was forced to shift were the camps for this weekend’s heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Steve Cunningham. The two collide on Saturday in New York City, with their bout to be televised live on NBC. The fight marks the first of what Fury (20-0, 14KO) hopes to be many in the United States. His camp hoped to develop marketability throughout the Northeast, particularly the Boston area given his Irish ancestry. The city held near and dear to the hearts of the fighter and his family members, the need was felt for this weekend’s fight to be about something more than just a title elimination bout. “We are dedicating this fight to the victims of this horrible act of cowardice in Boston,” commented Peter Fury, Tyson’s uncle and head trainer. “Team Fury would like to send our prayers to all the families.”

Fury: David Price Has No Brains, Haye Wants To Act
Tyson Fury (20-0) is less than two weeks away from his debut on U.S. soil against Steve "USS" Cunningham. The fight takes place in New York on April 20th. Over the past couple of years heavyweight contenders based out of the UK such as David Haye, David Price, Dereck Chisora and Fury have had more than a few verbal battles. On the latest edition of BoxingScene Radio, I asked Fury for his opinion on why the UK based lot are so talkative. "Take David Price out of it because he is like the Tin Man and Scarecrow because he has no brains. Chisora, no one can dechiper what he says. So really it is just David Haye and I that talk a lot," Fury stated.
