Fury Stops Peret
February 28th, 2009
By Daniel Cann: In the third fight of his burgeoning career Tyson Fury faced in Daniel Peret, a Norwegian based Russian who was an experienced and brave veteran of 35 fights. From the opening bell the disparity in height, conditioning and youth was all too apparent. Fury at 6ft 9 simply towered over his barrel shaped opponent (mind you, I expect Fury will tower above most active heavyweights in the world with the exception of WBA Heavyweight Champion Nikolai Valuev!)
The jab was working nicely but Fury was perhaps a little disrespectful by showboating. He kept dropping his hands to his sides, which was fine against the like of Peret but could prove costly when he steps up in class.
Fury displayed quick hand speed for such a big man and just looked superior in every department. Peret looked to slip the jab and work inside but kept getting caught. Fury landed one particularly meaty looking body shot and towards the end of the first round was teeing off on the squat Peret.
Fury landed a late right on the bell and showed a touch of class by apologising to his opponent. Despite the showboating Fury generally looked mature and composed in a good opening round.
The second began with blood coming from the nose of Peret no doubt caused by Fury’s jab. It was mere target practice again for Fury again. Peret held his gloves high but Fury’s punches still easily breached his defence. Peret just had no answer to Fury’s controlled aggression.
Fury kept things at a distance and alternated from jab to uppercut nicely. Peret suddenly emerged from one exchange with a nasty cut in the corner of his left eye. He bravely attempted another attack but it was in vain as the larger man sent him back with heavier shots.
Fury dropped his hands again, he must watch out for this as he develops. Peret continued to bull Fury to the ropes but the younger man managed to fight his way off them neatly. He looked totally relaxed and untroubled.
A left hand caught Fury but the man from Manchester responded with a series of hurtful looking body shots and Peret was looking open mouthed and distressed. Peret shook his head and motioned that he believed one of the shots had strayed low. The referee Ken Curtis did not rule it low however.
The round ended with Fury catching Peret with a decent left hook.
During the interval Curtis went over to Peret’s corner for a closer look at the cut and ruled that it was too deep and in too dangerous a place for the bout to continue, so over Peret’s passionate protests waved it all over.
Fury showed a lot of maturity and control in this bout and should step up in class, he repeated his call to all other British boxers to step up to the plate and meet him which makes for a refreshing change to the times when heavyweight prospects used to hold on to padded records and avoided each other.

Our heavyweight division has been an embarassment for the last few years, Aurdry, Danny Williams, Skelton, and so on, At last we have somebody who throws more than 4 punches in 12 rounds and is calling out or should i say clearing out the Embarassments if they dare fight him that is, if he can develop a knockout punch we are going to have a credible heavyweight so all u who are criticising him, study boxing more and stop trying to be contravertional just for the sake of it,
I meant more than twice, somebody whose guna trade back. Even Zeller was a bit of a let down compared to his record.
“But lets wait till hes in with somebody who can punch and isnt stumped by facing such a tall boxer. Only then can we tell what hes got in him.”
Just to point out – Zeller has won 20 of his 21 wins by way of KO. He can punch and he caught Fury – but to no obvious effect.
i think Fury needs to keep his head down and get on with his work rather than keep running his mouth. Hope the hype doesnt get to him. Hes had a few fights and already in an interview has blasted David Haye calling him nothing.
Great talent. just wish he would keep it quiet until he has the record to start shouting
You will find that that Ukansodoff aint me.
And i think i agree with Sam a bit, Fury has yet to be in a fight as far as im concerned. His height and reach are proving way too much for these low standard opponants, they dont know how to deal with him at all and hes having it very very easy.
Thats not a dig at his opponants, its the standard your meant to face after 2 or 3 fights.
But lets wait till hes in with somebody who can punch and isnt stumped by facing such a tall boxer. Only then can we tell what hes got in him.
I agree that for now he’s just a material for a prospect. Watched his fight with Zeller – and he IS NOT powerful for hw standards. This will come up right away if he fights anyone with the c-grade level. he’s strong – yes – but (sorry to say that) if you try too look at it from the distance, he COULD NOT knock out Zeller, even though he hit with everything but a kitchen sink. Clean, flush punches on the chin… about 30 of them.and waht? nothing. If it was – say- Solis, Zeller would be out in 30 secs. By the way… Did you see what guy named Kretchmann (I believe i got it right:)) done to the same zeller? Practically first proper punch hi touched him with, put the guy on his butt. So Fury – despite of what some are trying to make him – has serious deficiency in power. And I really enjoeyd this fight. He’s moving nicely, His hands are quite fast for such a big man, but still, if they try to move him too fast, someone will probably chop him down really badly (yet we still don’t know too much about his chin).
I agree with the other simon. I did not see his fight on saterday as i was at the NIA. But in his second fight he coudent KO the guy and the ref had to stop it . Id like to soo see him fight Sam Sexton next because he can easily win and would look great on the CV and a possible fight for the future derik chisora, i actully got his autograph and i really annoyed in my self i did not ask him about tyson fury. Tyson has great boxing skills and if he can develop not just a hard punch but a KO punch this guy can come a national hero.
anotha pikey brit heavyweight! the punk does have potential but his conditioning is abismal hes a discrace looks so soft in midsection he beta start taking training serious n stop clownin or he will pay for it wi his health in ring! size not everything hope the punkass relise this! brraaappp!
the guy has potential, but he lacks power. i know that sounds weird thing to say, the guy is huge and has a very good punch, but he has one proper KO in his 3 fights. hes fairly accurate, but i wanna see him in a challenge, someone who’s going to pressure him more. he seems happy to fight at a slow pace, i wanna see sum1 try to take the fight to him, not just be a punchbag. by the power thing, look at his second fight, lands loads of telling punches, but cant stop the guy. swap that guy for a much better boxer, say vitali, and i worry. of course he isnt ready for vitali yet, but its just my point. if he cant KO a fat german butterbean, hes going to struggle against world class operators.
amir khan will knock out every boxer alive
sam you quite clearly dont know a good boxer if you see one. your knowledge and opinons are ridiculous.
yeah defo agree with conditioning. Its just hard to take someone that seriously when they have a beer gut. Im not saying he will ever be ribbed coz that just not his body shape calzaghe was the same and it doesnt go for alot. But there is no excuse for coming in with a beer gut it just proves he isnt taking his traing as seriously as he could. He was in better condition than his last fight tho Ill give him that tho. In Audley harrisons first couple of fights as a pro he wasnt in great condition but then he sorted his conditionig out so it can be done and it will need to be done because he wont be fighting hobos all his life.
if fury’s the best prospect we’ve got then we’re in trouble! i just don’t rate him (sorry tyson, but thats just my opinion mate) need to see a lot more from him yet. he needs better conditioning, more training on his combo’s, cutting off the ring, and defence etc before he’s thrown to the sharks. (or should i say minnows? considering the state of the division these days) there’s already talk of him winning the british title next year, dont make me laugh. at this stage he needs to be concentrating on learning his trade, not looking towards title fights, as its a recipe for disaster. (aint that right amir?)he seems to have power, i’ll give him that, yet even that seems a little dissillusional as he’s not knocked anyone proper clean out yet (the refs have ‘saved’ em all) why? cos he’s being built up too quick. whats the rush?can anyone really see him in with the likes of danny williams, martin rogan or matt skelton at the min? or even audley harrison? i dont rate audrey, sorry audley either but i reckon he’d still have too much for tyson right now, but maybe i’m jumping too far ahead of myself, he’s only had 3 fights aint he, i just don’t think they should rush him, there’s plenty of time yet if he’s as good as his team thinks. but the conditioning definately needs more work.
He’s TKO’d Peret in 2 when Chisora could only manage to take him on points. The British heavyweights will be running scared now! GO TYSON
need to see alot more from fury and i think we will i think he still needs to get in better shape if his to go against seasoned pros so it may not be the best thing to stick him in the ring for to many rounds saying that iv not seen him break a swet yet
Best birt heavy i have seen in a long time!
Dissapointed ref had to stop the fight, seemed as though Fury was happy to get an extra few rounds under his belt on this one, already getting the feeling that non-UK fans are starting to dismiss him when his potential is there for all to see.
Best UK prospect by a long way, got caught with one or two but what do you expect with that Joe Calzaghe like stance? I hope Audley fancies a go, if only to see another article on here like the Audley & Haye one the other day. Over to you Chris Williams (cue lightning strike)
