By Gav Duthie: On July 26 four heavyweight title prospects will lock horns. In an all British affair Dereck Chisora 20-4 (13) will take on Tyson Fury 22-0 (16) in Manchester and a few hours later Cuban Mike Perez 20-0-1 (12) will face American Bryant Jennings 18-0 (10) in New York. For the winners of both fights imminent title challenges await.

The winner of Chisora-Fury will become Wladimir Klitschko’s mandatory WBO challenger and although less is at stake for Jennings and Perez they are ranked #2 and #3 respectively with the WBC behind Deontay Wilder so a challenge against the winner of Wilder-Stiverne is highly probable.

By Mohamed I: It’s well known amongst anyone that follows Fury that he lives up to that name inside and outside the ring. His antics go from the serene to obscene (sometimes the extreme) in a matter of moments and he does this with the intention of selling his name to the public on his quest for glory however his most recent tirade has landed him in some troubling waters.

By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (22-0, 16 KOs) might be on the verge of finding out his own fate at a heavyweight when he faces Dereck Chisora (20-4, 13 KO’s) this month on July 26th at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, UK.

In an enlightening moment, Fury said that he feels that if he can’t beat a journeyman like Chisora then he too must be a journeyman. It’s pretty interesting because the 6’9” Fury might be forced to come to terms with what he is in terms of his own talent and future outlook in the heavyweight division when he battles Chisora. I mean, if Fury can’t blast out Chisora, and if he struggles and loses or if he even just struggles, then that’ll probably be a pretty good indication of where Fury is going.

By Scott Gilfoid: #2 WBO, #5 IBF, #8 WBC, #13 WBA, Dereck Chisora (20-4, 13 KO’s) expects to see Tyson Fury (22-0, 16 KO’s) running from him instead of standing and fighting in their fight on July 26th, and Chisora says he’s going to cut off the ring on Fury to force him to exchange punches. It seems that Chisora’s confidence has sky rocketed after beating 5 mostly Euro level heavyweights since his knockout loss to David Haye, and he now fancies himself as a knockout puncher rather than just a short hard-worker with medium power, and not much of any outside game to speak of.

“He [Fury] won’t be able to stand the heat that I’m bringing to him so he’ll definitely be leaving my kitchen the ring, once I start turning up the heat. Fury is like a rabbit, he’ll be running, but I’ll hunt him down and eventually catch up with him and then it’s game over.”
