Apparently he's fighting a bum a month starting in January haha. He does need to be more busy though he only fought once this year, I know that's Hayes fault though.

'Retired' heavyweight Tyson Fury announces his plans for the New Year
Dec 16, 2013
For a retired fighter he sure being busy.
He needs to get back yo being busy and start developing again.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Retired?
Haye will come out of retirement in April for Easter, announce a fight with Fury, train until June, waste our time again, then sprain his ankle and/or get shot in a drive-by in London outside a Nigerian bar that Sam Peter invested in, and postpone the fight until Thanksgiving 2014.
Your right, his fights against Abdul, Valuev and Klitschko are classics!
Being a puncher and being chinny are only an exciting combination if they actually fight, like a Nigel Benn for instance but not when they just skirt the ring or even crawl around on all fours trying not to get hit!
The intrigue with Haye is that he can punch but he also doesn't take a shot well. When you say he doesn't fight, you named 3 fights that were poor, but you could name at least 3 when talking about alot of exciting fighters. Bottom line is that most of his fights have a quality element to them. If they didn't, he'd never have had his box office deal/expensive Setanta deal in the first place. I think the most Fury entertained anyone was on Twitter.
And nobody has a classic fight against Wlad. Nobody.
Well I never said they were classic fights, but his finishes are great to watch. The Ruiz fight was decent. Haye knocked him down 5 times and some of the punches he landed were fantastic (particularly the first knockdown). The Monte Barrett fight fits what I was describing. 5 knockdowns and he was floored himself. He finished Tomasz Bonin in the first with 3 knockdowns. All these fit the attributes I was describing.
But I wasn't just talking about his Heavyweight career, he has had plenty of explosive finishes at Cruiser and a guy with such a high KO percentage is always worth watching.
He went to the World #1's back yard and knocked him out. He beat Maccarinelli who was #3 in the world at the time in 2 rounds, and was widely considered to be the #1 Cruiserweight in the world.
And you're criticizing him for not being able to beat a former World Champion in his 11th fight? Fury didn't fight a former World Champion till his 21st fight, and he has yet to fight anyone who was a world champion from his own division.
We all know you enjoy a good double standard though when it comes to Tyson Fury.
