Who should Tyson Fury fight next?

[Calza appy]

Adamek would be a great matchup.

I'll answer your question here, where I think is better place for it.
I like Fury, he's my current favorite heavyweight and I love how they are leading his career.
I like how he looked in this fight with his new slim body. He's very impressive at catching smaller opponents on their way in and also is doing good job at grabing them when they are close. I saw every single of his fights and I belive he's still improving. People want to rush him to title shot because he already have that Chisora win on his record, but if I was his manager, I would wait with that and I mean really wait, like till begining of 2014.
Before that, I'd like him to face guys like Audley Harrison, Matt Skelton, Sam Sexton, make his U.S debut against some decent fighter, get another undefeated bum on his record like Leif Larsen or someone and just keep learning. If there was a chance to fight guys like Tomasz Adamek or Ruslan Chagaev, those are the fight that he could take, but I wouldn't make him fight bigger punchers like Helenius, Price, or Arreola just yet. Kid has a time and I hope he knows it.

i agree with what you say 100% he doesnt need to rushed hes going along learning his trade nicely i think he will leave mick hennessy sometime in the next year or so i dont think mick has the coin to do a huge promotion he didnt really maximise frochs stock but got him far enough the same i think will happen with fury

[El_Cholo]

Adamek would be ok by me.

exactly

the difference with Fury is time is on his side at 23, Froch needed to capitalise approaching his mid 30's and matchroom was the perfect move, especially now sky are backing them to the hilt

Hennessy has channel 5 and thats the ideal platform for fury to make a name amongst the casual fans whilst performing at a progressive pace infront of a wide audience. I think he's stick with Hennessy for a while as his business plan seems to suit his current career plan... shrude move from Mick this C5 malarky

[yoz]

Any news?...

[Cleaver]

Fury is playing the long game, more chance of him racking up a big undefeated record over going for the more dangerous fights. He might aim for the paper WBA belt in the next year or so, but every time Hennessey is queried post fight he spews out the same bull**** about how he 'looked fantastic' against the XYZ bum.

[KO'er]

Voted Adamek as that would be a good fight. Woulda voted Price but that fight will never happen. (at least not for the next couple years.)

He will more than likely fight some bum though. Probably (and i'm serious here) Jean Marc Mormeck next.

[bboy80]

Helenius, Pulev, Wilder, Price, Peters any of them would be a great match up.

[Wesker115]

How long is his contract with Channel 5?
Do they have the money to attract "big" names?
He'll probably be fighting bums until it runs out, but tbh as long as he's keeping busy, does it matter? He's only 24, there is no rush.

[fladz]

No it doesn't matter Wesker; as long as his statements in the press are honest about this approach, rather than the lofty claims he makes nowadays, whilst fighting extremely weak opposition.

Edit: A quick Google revealed this recent article on Bettor:


“We are looking to return in November. We have a few American fighters in mind, but we are hoping to get David Haye or [former world title challenger] Tomasz Adamek to take the fight. If they don't want it, then there are other name fighters who we will look at,” said Peter Fury Tyson Fury’s uncle and trainer, to World Boxing News.

He added, “So much for Tyson avoiding David Price because he is too good, when he is looking to fight the likes of Haye.”

Okay Uncle Peter, whatever you say. I can't wait to see who they roll out for him next.
