Heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury will look to make it 5 straight wins this Saturday when he takes on “Magic” Matthew Ellis at the York Hall, Bethnal Green in London.
The 6 foot 8 and a half inch 20-year-old has despatched his first four professional opponents inside the distance but with just 6 defeats in 27 pro fights of his own Ellis represents an excellent test for Fury.
The contest takes place on the undercard of the eagerly anticipated Commonwealth Welterweight title clash between John O’Donnell and Craig Watson on a Hennessy Sports event which will be live on ITV4.
Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy said, “I believe Ellis represents another decent test for Tyson at this stage in his career. I’ve matched him aggressively so far but Tyson has answered all the questions asked of him to date.
“If you look at the combined record of his first 5 opponents they had a total of 82 wins between them. That kind of statistic shows how much confidence I have in Tyson to match him with guys like that so early in his career.”
Fury’s fifth pro outing is part of an exciting undercard at the York Hall that also features an English Light Welterweight title showdown between Lenny Daws and Peter McDonagh while hot prospect Bradley Evans and Irish Welterweight champ, Stephen Haughian are also in action.
