Hennessy Boxing: The Hammer vs. Tyson’s Fury

ByBoxing Press

Brazilian unbeaten big heavyweight puncher Marcelo Luiz Nascimento is all primed and ready to go for his explosive clash with Heavyweight Sensation Tyson Fury at Wembley Arena on Saturday Feb 19th.

All of the action from Wembley Arena can be seen live and exclusive on Premier Sports, Sky Channel 433 from 8pm.

The 6ft 5 in puncher from San Paulo knows it is his golden opportunity to become a world star and he is being heralded by some as the Brazilian Breidis Prescott, who as we all know knocked out Amir Khan in 54 seconds.

Tyson Fury said “Up until this point in my career I’ve been in with some very good fighters but the hardest I have been punched in the face is by myself when I missed Lee Swaby with a right uppercut, which was shown on this week’s Question of Sport which gave everyone a good laugh.”

“This is without doubt the most dangerous and hardest puncher I’ve ever been in the ring with, he’s in great shape and at 6ft 5in it’s not hard to see where his punching power comes from, as you can see from the video on YouTube where he knocks out 6ft 6in Argentinian Gonzalo Omar Basile cold with a left hook. Basile had a record of 48 wins (KO 23) and 4 loses (KO 4) going in to the fight.”

“Although this is by far my most dangerous test to date I’m going to shown Amir Khan how to deal with a huge puncher from South America. This fight with me being 6ft 9in and him being 6ft 5in, and both being big punchers has the recipe for an edge of your seat, explosive encounter.”

“On this same show at Wembley Arena there are two cracking 50 / 50 British title fights taking place, but I will be surprised if my explosive encounter doesn’t steal the show” Tyson added.
