Tyson Fury next fight reportedly planned for June 8 against Oscar Rivas
Rivas (26-0, 18 KOs) is a Colombian heavyweight who announced himself on the world heavyweight scene with a career best win over Bryant Jennings in January.
Following the victory, the 31-year-old is now linked to Top Rank/ESPN and looking for his next task.
Despite his short stance at just 6ft, Rivas packs a punch – as Jennings found out in the final round of their fight.

Furys gonna have an insanely large height, weight and reach advantage over the 6ft Columbian.
Lets hope when the clinches happen Fury doesn't try to sniff the Columbian.

GREAT fight for Rivas and a good choice for Fury. After Wilder, Fury can't go back to the likes of Seferi and Pianetta.
And for Rivas, his only good fight was against Bryant Jennings. I think he needed more top level fights before getting a chance against the lineal champion in Fury. No that he should not be in the ring at all, but show some respect to the game!

I'm disappointed in Fury.

He won’t grow a fan base in the US with fights like this. ESPN is going to forced to put a huge offer in front of Wilder to top the 2 fight 50 million$ offer DAZN reportedly made. Otherwise Fury’s deal gets a lot smaller than what was reported, if you can trust anything Bob Arum says.
