By William Mackay: Unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (15-0, 10 KO’s) doesn’t want to take on old timers and past their best heavyweights in the division while he’s getting ready to fight IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Fury says he wants to take on unbeaten young heavyweight prospects like Deontay Wilder (17-0, 17 KO’s) and David Price (11-0, 9 KO’s) before he takes on Klitschko.

By William Mackay: It seems that British and Commonwealth champion Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) is no longer so eager to take on IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in his next fight. Chisora has been chomping at the bit to fight Wladimir for a while now and came close to fighting him on two separate occasions recently but saw the fights go up in smoke when Wladimir was unable to make it through training camp due to an annoying abdominal injury.

By Sean McDaniel With big John McDermott pulling out of his fight this Saturday night against unbeaten heavyweight prospect David Price (10-0, 8 KO’s), Price now faces what may be an even tougher test against the powerful but untested 6’6″ Tom Dallas (15-0, 11 KO’s) in a scheduled 10 round BBBofC British heavyweight title eliminator bout at the Olympia, Liverpool, Merseyside, UK.
