By Steven Wain: On September 11th the new heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury (7-0-7 KO’s) will face “Big Bad” John McDermott (25-5-16 KO’s) for the English heavyweight title at Brentwood England. Fury who is a 6ft 9 inch tall and who is considered by some as well as myself to be a heavyweight sensation, challenges McDermott in only his 8th fight. Fury has an excellent jab and extremely powerful right hand this being proven with his 100% KO ratio.
