Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury continues the build up to his seventh pro fight by joining Steve Bunce on his Boxing Hour today on Setanta Sports News.

The show kicks off at 2pm and Fury will discuss his phenomenal rise through the heavyweight ranks since turning professional last December and look ahead to his next outing at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan on June 13th.

It’s all part of a busy week of media activities for the 6 foot 9 inch 20-year-old sensation from Manchester who was a guest on 5 Live Boxing on BBC Radio 5 earlier this week and he’s also the subject of an in depth feature in this Saturday’s Daily Express.

“The media attention comes with the territory,” said Fury. “If people are looking to talk to me then I must be doing something right. People say I talk a good game but you have to be confident in this business and I’m happy to step in the ring and back up everything I say.”

Fury’s is fresh from a second round KO of fellow heavyweight giant and touted prospect, Scott Belshaw in Watford on May 23rd which ensured he kept his perfect KO ratio intact having stopped all 6 of his professional opponents to date.

Fury’s next outing will be as the chief support to the John Murray – Scott Lawton British Lightweight title fight at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan on Saturday, June 13th.

The Hennessy Sports event will be live on ITV4 and joining Fury on the undercard will be his cousin Phill and the return of Lightweight contender Nadeem Siddique. Hot Featherweight prospect Steve “Super Bad” Barnes also features alongside the pro debut of Bobby “Boogaloo” Ward - the last Englishman to defeat Amir Khan, while exciting Canadian puncher Andrew Singh Kooner makes a welcome return to a British ring.

Tickets are available from the Ticketline box office on 0844 888 4402 or via www.ticketline.co.uk.
