Is Tyson Fury the Best Heavyweight in the UK?
By Nate Anderson: No disrespect meant towards newcomer heavyweight David Haye, but I’m beginning to think that unbeaten prospect Tyson Fury (6-0, 6 KOs) might be the best heavyweight in all of the UK. I realize that the 20-year-old Fury hasn’t really beaten anyone of note other than Lee Swaby, Matthew Ellis and a handful of other low quality fighters. However, it’s the manner that Fury is dispatching them, the ease that he’s taking them out that is so impressive and what makes me feel that Fury could be the best there is.

Sexton Needs to Give Rogan a Rematch
By William Mackay: If new Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam Sexton (12-1, 5 KOs) is satisfied with his controversial 8th round stoppage over Martin Rogan (12-1, 6 KOs) on Friday night then I think Sexton might be kidding himself something fierce, because he should consider himself very lucky to have escaped with a victory over Rogan.
