However, Chisora isn’t worried about anything that he sees from Fury and feels that he’ll be able to deal with anything he brings to the table in that fight.

Fury vs. Chisora: Tyson has to keep the fight on the outside to win
By Sean McDaniel Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (14-0, 10 KO’s) has always been able to walk down his overmatched and smaller opponents to batter them at close range to score knockout wins. For the most part, Fury has been able to get away with this despite having very mediocre boxing. Fury has done it on size along mostly.

Fury says he doesn’t care about the money for Chisora fight
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (14-0, 10 KO’s) says he doesn’t care about the money as he approaches his July 23 fight against unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. Fury, 6’9″, will have a huge height advantage over the 6’1″ Chisora in this fight. However, as we’ve seen in many of Fury’s other fights, he tends to give up his height immediately when pressed by allowing his opponents to crowd him.

By Ronnie Jordan: People are starting to recognize a few Heavyweights emerging in the UK as possible contenders.
David Haye has given us hope at world level but with his decision to retire at 32 the Brits will be looking elsewhere for someone to fly the flag. My question is do any of them have what it takes to succeed at the top?
