Tyson Fury needs to target Chisora and Martin Rogan in 2011
December 27th, 2010
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s) is looking for an opponent for his next fight in the near year for February. Although no one has been selected at this time, a good choice for the 6’9″ Fury would be unbeaten heavyweight contender Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s), who doesn’t have a scheduled opponent right now after IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko pulled out of their recent fight due to an abdominal tear.
Another good opponent for the 22-year-old Fury would be Irish boxer Martin Rogan (14-2, 7 KO’s), who has wins over guys like Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton. Rogan is getting up there in age at 39, and is the perfect opponent for Fury to rough up on the inside with uppercuts and body shots. Rogan can punch a little for six or so rounds, but he’s mostly harmless after the fight goes beyond six round as he tends to gas out quickly and permanently. Fury could basically jab Rogan from the outside for six rounds, and then go in for the kill with body shots and upper cuts in the second half of the fight when Rogan fades on cue.
Either one of these fights would be good character-building fights for Fury so that he can continue to progress as a fighter.

russell as long as fury dosnt fight alex in australia then it wouldnt be much of a fight he would only have a punchers chance…the refs decision to stop alex fight against walker was a travesty and a mugging of the highest order….i would however like to see leipei vs chisora tho as hes been callin chisora out for a while now without reply
@ mark-
So does your mum but im not complaining
What about Alex leapai from Australia…..he would give Tyson a true battle.
Audley Harrison is set to fight again, That would be an interesting fight if Tyson can compete, Audley’s confidence is all gone not that he had much anyway!
Chisora would destroy Tyson, Tysons still to chubby!
fury is awful he wouldnt beat rogan r chisora
shagalang..martin rogan fought in november against marinchev i think it is and won in the 1st round in his comeback fight…it was a neck problem…rogan is a bum he eats fish and chips and drinks durin his training camps (not very professional)he is a decent brawler but i think fury would handle him easy enough…fury v chisora wud be intresting enough to watch tho….
i actualey read in the boxing news paper that tyson was set to fight again nexty year in canada against the canadian hevyweight champion whos name i cant remember but had a record of 15-0 (5) any 1 else see this
Fury isn’t ready for Chisora. Besides, at only 22, what’s the rush? Manny Steward will probably play it safe this year and keep Tyson away from any top 20 contenders. Fury will stay busy, possibly with 5 fights to work off the lard and gain useful experience from a few old timers. A suggested list of opponents might include: Sam Sexton, Michael Marrone, Neven Pajkic, Coleman Barrett, Tye Fields, Travis Kauffman, Kali Meehan, Timo Hoffman, Kevin McBride, or Vinny Maddalone.
Sorry, but Fury has absolutely no chance against any of these guys. Even Fraudley would turn his lights out. Tyson Fury will likely burst into tears as soon as he gets hit, like he almost did against John McMuffin
@ king khan
obviously Shagalang doesnt spend as much time in jail as you do
Now that I think about this,Tysson Fury should fight 2 tomatoe cans to get more work in with Stewart and get ito better shape.then Target Sprott,then Harrison,then Chisora.
furey should fight audrey harrison then haye should fight the looser of that one ,dont take anychances david.
Ithink Tyson fury should have 2 more tomatoe can fights then target Chisora or Sprott.
Skelton should be out Mid March 2011.
Shagalang-how can fight skelton wen hes in jail?! Bet you didnt know that
The best fight for Fury is Price. This would be a good fight.
Tyson needs to target the salad bar instead of the buffet. The mans a joke, 22 and looking like a lazy 40 year old, he’s winning because he’s 9foot 12 fighting midgets.
The man is not a professional athlete and doesn’t deserve pay days.
few Points:
1) the people mentioned are considered British title contenders and will not take a fight on basically a months notice
2) Rogan is currently injured with a back/nerve problem and may never box again due to it, he got it in the first fight with Sexton and retired with it in the rematch. he is now recovering from an operation and has no boxing license
3) Rogan is such a good brawler and has too much experience for Fury who struggled twice with McDermott, Rogan would beat McD easy
4) Rogan has great pase actually, obviously the only fights the writer saw were the Sexton fights and not the Harrison or Skelton fights. Plus tyson fury has the worst stamina in the game
5) best opostion for fury – Matt Skelton or “The Clones Colossus” Kevin McBride
