Fury v Haye: Analysis

fury122By B.G.B: The hype is well under way in building up the biggest British heavyweight clash since Bruno v Lewis. On the 28th September former 2 weight world champion David Haye (28- 2 26 KOs) takes on  6 ft 9 prospect Tyson Fury (21- 0 15 KOs).

One fight I would like to see that has a very realistic possibility of being made is ‘GGG’ v Martin Murray (27-25, 11 KO’s). Here’s why:
