Before Tyson Fury and Steve Cunningham go at it in the heavyweight showdown of the year on NBC network television, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in the afternoon of April 20th, a loaded undercard will warm up the New York crowd and have them ready for the anticipated main event. The stacked undercard is led by an 8-round middleweight match between Brooklyn's Curtis "Showtime" Stevens, 23-3, 17 KOs, and Chicago's Derrick "Superman" Findley, 20-9, 13 KOs. This nationally televised co-feature is likely to be a punch-out, with both fighters known as straight forward battlers with a taste for knockouts. The NBC broadcast will begin at 4PM ET. Stevens has smoked his last two foes in a single round, and Findley toppled Ronald Hearns, the son of the great Thomas Hearns, in his last knockout win.

Tyson Fury: I'm The Last UK Heavyweight Standing!

While the United States remains on the hunt for a heavyweight hopeful, similar concerns exist in the United Kingdom. It’s not exactly a golden era for the British heavyweight scene, perhaps even more depressing than the prospects of waiting for an American above 200 lb. to seize control of the division. Where Tyson Fury believes he separates from the rest of the pack is two-fold; first is his continued success whereas his countrymen continue to flop. The other is his realization of imperfection, whereas heavyweights on both sides of the pond continue to insist that things aren’t as bad as they seem.

Tyson Fury is still five weeks away from his April 20 heavyweight showdown with Steve Cunningham, at Madison Square Garden’s The Theatre but believes he’s already won a major battle. A press conference held last Thursday afternoon in New York City was civil until about the final ten minutes, when the two camps erupted into a violent war of words. Further drama ensued off camera when Fury wound up in a shouting match with Naazim Richardson, Cunningham’s trainer. The outbursts made for an eventful day, one that Fury insists went exactly according to plan.

Channel 5, or an employee with twitchy Twitter fingers, broke our collective hearts yesterday by Tweeting that boxing might be removed from their schedules. The message has since been deleted. Today the network moved to scotch rumours of a cull by confirming to Peter White of www.broadcastnow.co.uk that they are 'in talks' with Hennessy Sports over the rights to broadcast Tyson Fury's April 20th meeting with Steve Cunningham, which takes place at Madison Square Garden's Theater in New York.

Tyson Fury and Steve Cunningham were in New York City to hype up their April 20 fight at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden, which will air live mid-afternoon on NBC. Things went relatively smooth for the majority of Thursday’s press conference, with both fighters appreciative of what the other brings to the table Fury applauded Cunningham for accepting a fight that few others wanted, a fact the former cruiserweight champion cited as the very reason he immediately agreed to terms. The closest that Cunningham came to disrespecting anyone was his openly questioning the means in which ringside judges approach their job. The commentary was warranted, given his receiving the short end of the stick in a highly controversial points loss to Tomasz Adamek last December, which also aired live on NBC.
