By Rob Mack: There was once a time when Heavyweight boxing was the talk of world sport and many considered it to be the ‘glamour’ division of the industry, however following a period of Klitschko domination and a distinct lack in talent, interest has plummeted.
Then, like a shining light (that Sky Sports would have you believe) David Haye (26-2, 24KO’s) and Tyson Fury (21-0,15KO’s) signed on the dotted line. Boxing fans and neutrals alike watched in hysterics as Tyson Fury played villain when the two met at the presser. And since then the internet has feasted on opinions about what this offering will bring, mainly the traditional “Haye will knock him out in one” comment.
By Rob Mack: Kell Brook (30-0, 20ko’s) is coming off the back of an impressive beating of American fringe contender Carson Jones (35-10, 25ko’s). Following the victory, Brook’s outspoken promoter Eddie Hearn has said that he has a “big fight” planned in September for ‘the special one’, and this has led to mass speculation about the unnamed opponent.
