By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s) is very concerned about his unbeaten Brazilian opponent Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (13-0, 11 KO’s), who Fury will be facing this Saturday night in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. Not much is known about the 6’5″ Nascimento other than the fact he seems like he can really punch, at least with his left hand.
Tyson Fury
Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, a British boxing giant standing tall at 6’9″ and tipping the scales at 278 lbs, has been ruling the heavyweight division with his iron fists since 2020. Not just a family man with a bunch of kids and a love story that dates back to 2008 with Paris, but Fury also boasts a record that reads like a warrior’s epic—especially his trilogy with Deontay Wilder (2-0-1, with 2 KOs) and a hat trick against Derek Chisora. Before claiming the WBC crown, he unified the heavyweight titles way back in 2015, only to take a brief hiatus from the throne. With a squad of fighting siblings by his side, Fury’s not just throwing punches; he’s crafting a legacy that’s as large as his frame. Tyson Fury’s net worth is estimated to be around £50million, according to Forbes magazine.
Olubamiwo wants Tyson Fury fight
By Sean McDaniel: Hard hitting heavyweight Larry Olubamiwo (10-1, 9 KO’s), the current BBBofC Southern Area heavyweight champion, is interested in taking on the highly hyped Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s).
Speaking with Hackney Gazette, Olubamiwo said “Tyson Fury is someone who is definitely on my radar. I’m ranked number one challenger for his English title. He took a lot of stick after that first [John] McDermott fight, but in the second bout he showed a lot of heart and I admire him for doing that and I admire his ambition. He wants to win titles at a young age.”

Fury vs. Nascimento on Saturday, 2/19
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s) has finally found a beatable opponent for this Saturday’s date on February 19th at the Wembley Arena, in Wembley, London. It took Fury’s managment ages to find someone that fit his qualifications. Fury, 22, will be facing unbeaten Brazilian Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (13-0, 11 KO’s), who has a very similar record as the 6’9″ Fury. Nascimento is quite tall at 6’5″ 228 lbs, but painfully slow and doesn’t seem to know how to jab, defend or throw a right hand. He looks basically like someone that climbed into the ring from the crowd.

By Sean McDaniel: Should unbeaten British heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) fail to beat IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in his attempt to capture his two titles on April 30th, Chisora will have the unpleasant task of having to defend his BBBofC British heavyweight title against unbeaten British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s) after the British Boxing Board of Control made the 22-year-old Fury the mandatory challenger to Chisora’s title.

Fury says Haye isn’t fighting the Klitschkos because he’s not big enough to handle them
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KO’s) recently visited IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in his training camp while he prepares for his April 30th bout against undefeated Dereck Chisora. Fury, a huge heavyweight at 6’9″ 250+, explained his theory on why WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has been reluctant to get in the ring with either of the Klitschko brothers, saying “There has been all sorts of speculation flying around why David Haye isn’t fighting one of the Klitschko brothers, but in my honest opinion I believe it’s because David isn’t big enough to deal with the likes of Wladimir or Vitali.”

Fury could fight Skelton or Kevin McBride next
By Sean McDaniel: With the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to sanction unbeaten heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury’s fight against the faded 42-year-old Francois Botha (47-5-3, 28 KO’s) for February 19th, Fury is now looking at facing either 44-year-old Matt Skelton (25-6, 20 Ko’s) or 37-year-old former Mike Tyson conqueror Kevin McBride (35-8-1, 29 KO’s) next. It’s hard to imagine that the BBBofC would agree to sanction either of those fights, because they are just as bad as the Fury-Botha fight.
