    Fury is now rated 9th in the world on boxrec. I reckon a fight against Mike Perez could be a classic but I presume his next fight will against David Price.

    I think Perez would take him. Fury has potential, but I just think his defence is sloppy. In saying that however, he does use offensive-defence very well, but pushing his weight down on the smaller guy and holding in the corner - he breaks very tightly to land some uppercuts well.

    While the quality wasnt the greatest, I thought it was an entertaining fight and the right result. I'd like to see a re-match. Chisora was clearly not prepared properly, so should be a lot better next time, while Fury at only 23, should also improve with every fight.

    Not sure what was going on with Chisora's walk on. Guessing that he was slagging off Fury's Irish roots, but I couldnt understand how! Fury looked bemused and amused by it.

    Yeah I'd say with another two or three fights he'd be beating the likes of Fury fairly convincingly, not that I don't think he has the skills to do it now, just think he needs a few more fights in him

    Aye, maybe Lee (who I think is his cousin?) will put in a word for him in the Kronk, get him sparring with the big men ;)

    Fury spars with Wladimir Klitschko quite often in Wlad training camps.
