By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight champion David Price (15-0, 13 KO’s) says he wants to fight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) now because he doesn’t see their fight getting much bigger before they fight for a world title. Price thinks Fury wants the fight, but his management around him is keeping him from taking the fight.
By Tony Crooks: Hype and trash talking have become a part of the daily life of today’s boxers. Not all follow this path; however, calling out fellow gentlemen of the Queensbury rules has become rife.
By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Tyson Fury must be laughing today about the bogus rumor he started on his twitter about the Tony Thompson vs. David Price fight being off for February 23rd. It now turns out Fury was just flapping his gums without any knowledge at all, and sadly some boxing sites reported it as news. It’s so, so sad. 
By Mark Havey: I have always felt that the best fights are at domestic level, before the money and world titles come. Fans are often so caught up with the big PPV events that they miss the real battles. Proof of this can be witnessed at the event of any big fight. The arena is near enough empty for the first fight and doesn’t reach full capacity until the last fight of the night.

By Scott Gilfoid: After all the talking that unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) has done about the Klitschko brothers being bad for boxing, Fury will be facing 36-year-old former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) on April 20th at a venue still to be determined in New York.
By Steven Ocallaghan: So British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury thinks Wladimir and Vitali Klitchko are bad for boxing. I completely disagree. If we look at the brothers records they have ruled the division for the best part of a decade.
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) seems to be a little upset that the Klitschko brothers are totally ignoring him, and not giving him a shot at their titles.
