Tyson Fury looking lean and slow for Cunningham bout

YouTube video
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) appears to have slimmed down a lot in his latest training camp to get ready for his April 20th fight against former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

The odd thing is Fury looks slower than he was previous. Taking the blubber off his normally flabby looking midsection should have led to Fury getting faster, but in this case he looks slower and weaker judging by his recent workout with his trainer.

Can Cunningham pull off an upset of Fury?

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) has been speaking about himself in glowing terms for the past year or so, calling himself the greatest heavyweight on the planet even though he’s yet to face an actual top tier opponent. Sorry, I don’t count Kevin Johnson and Dereck Chisora as being 1st tier fighters.

Fury has been bragging about himself 24/7 since his fight with the 36-year-old Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) was first signed. That’s all well and good because if no one else is giving you the pat on the backs then I guess you might as well pat yourself on the back.

Fury upset that Wladimir is making him earn a title shot

564By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #4 WBC, #5 WBO, #8 IBF, heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is still up in arms that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is making him earn his title shot against him by working his way to a title shot instead of just having one plopped in his lap based on his victories over journeyman competition.

Fury said to the Dailymail.co.uk “A b****,” is how Fury sees the 37-year-old Wladimir. “He doesn’t want to fight back and he doesn’t want to fight anybody dangerous. So that, to me, is a b****.”

You have to wonder why Fury has been facing guys like Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone and Kevin Johnson instead of the likes of Deontay Wilder and Kubrat Pulev.

If Fury’s idea is that Wladimir has been avoiding dangerous heavyweights, then what does that say about Fury that he’s fighting guys like Rogan, Maddalone and Johnson? Wilder and Pulev would love to get their hands on Fury so that they could smash his fragile chin, but he’s not fighting them for some reason.

Hennessey: Fury wants to face Haye in the summer in a stadium fight

fury11`1By Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessey, the promoter for unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s), says Fury is interested in facing former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) in a stadium fight in the summer. Haye is being talked about returning to the ring on July 6th in the UK against a still to be determined opponent and venue.

Hennessey said to the telegraph.co.uk “He [Fury] is interested in that fight with Haye, definitely, and it could be done at a stadium this summer as long as the date is right.”

Wow, it looks like Hennessey is willing to cash out with the Haye fight instead of working Fury to a title shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko by facing #1 IBF Kubrat Pulev in a final eliminator bout to get that shot.

Fury: I’ll put Cunningham down after a couple of good shots

fury-cunningham.poster.220wBy Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten trash talking heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is suddenly talking like he’s become a knockout artist rather than the 6’9” light hitting slapper that many boxing fans know him as. Fury, 24, faces fringe contender Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) next month on April 20th at Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

Fury sees himself winning by an easy KO as soon as he traps Cunningham and forces him to fight. Fury is expecting that Cunningham will run from him like he did against Tomasz Adamek last December in Cunningham’s controversial loss.

Fury said to Fightnews.com “He [Cunningham] will run, I’m sure of it, but as soon as I get hold of him and hit him with a couple of good shots, he’ll be on the floor…I will definitely become the first man to stop him.”

I don’t see how Fury will be able to stop Cunningham without power. I mean, I rate cruiserweights Yoan Pablo Hernandez, Wayne Braithwaite, Marco Huck and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk as being much bigger punchers than Fury, and yet Cunningham had no problem taking their power.

Fury to have egg in his face if he loses to Cunningham

fury1q(Photo Credits: Wojtek Kubik Photography) By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is perhaps the biggest trash talker in the heavyweight division right now, having taken over that title from the inactive David Haye. Despite all the trash talking that the light hitting 6’9” Fury does, he still hasn’t faced any quality heavyweights during his career for some reason.

On April 20th, Fury will be fighting a much smaller heavyweight in fringe contender Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA. Instead of being a good visitor to the U.S, Fury decided to trash talk Cunningham something fierce in their press conference yesterday, saying “You’re a small man, you’re chinny, you’re getting knocked out. You’ve been put down in early every fight you’ve had.”

Cunningham: If Fury were 6’2”, he’d be garbage

fury222By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) had unbeaten 6’9” Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) worked up and hopping mad after he called him “garbage” at their press conference earlier today to hype their April 20th fight at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

Cunningham was pretty nice to Fury when he initially spoke, but Fury went for the throat immediately when it was his time to speak, talking about wanting to retire Cunningham come April 20th. When Cunningham merely pointed out that the only reason that Fury is having success is because his huge, Fury went ballistic, standing up and drowning out everything that Cunningham and his trainer Naazim Richardson.

Fury: I’m going to give Cunningham a boxing lesson

fury67By Scott Gilfoid: The 6’9” unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is banking on his huge size advantage over the 6’2” Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) as being enough of an advantage for him to win an easy victory next month on April 20th in their fight shown by NBC at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

Their fight will be an IBF eliminator for the #2 spot. The winner of the Fury-Cunningham fight will have to face unbeaten #1 IBF Kubrat Pulev for the final IBF eliminator. Fury doesn’t like the fact that he has to jump through two hoops instead of one to get to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko for a title shot.

Fury to Wladimir: Fight me or f*** off!

YouTube video
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is still yapping away and complaining about IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko not agreeing to face him in the ring, despite the fact that Fury has yet to face a true quality heavyweight. Fury just wants Wladimir to give him a shot without having to actually prove that he’s earned it.

Fury said to I Film London, “I’ve got one thing to say to Wladimir Klitschko, you are a p***y old son. When you grow a pair of balls, come fight me and I’ll relieve you of all your belts. I’ll leave that glass chin of yours in shatters all over the ring.

Fury: I’m beating Cunningham, Pulev and Wladimir

YouTube video
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) was recently building himself up at a recent press conference to promote his IBF eliminator for the #2 spot against former cruiserweight and now heavyweight fringe contender Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) on April 20th at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Fury says he and his cousin Hughie Fury are the best heavyweights in the division, and his promoter Mick Hennessey already sees them as better heavyweights than the Klitschkos.
