6' 9'' Tyson Fury turns pro!!

[Fenster]

I doubt rushing him will be the problem. People will probably be crying for him to be stepped up this time next year.

Although Hennessy certainly ain't Warren when it comes to safe matchmaking

I suppose soo mate,especially on the domestic scene of the british heavyweight ranking.I mean their's no one who could really threaten him in the uk ranings of the division and as he is that tall he should win quite comfortable!!

My friend Larry 'Warmachine' Olubamiwo would have something to say about that...When these too come together we'll really see what Tyson's chin is made of...Personally, I don't think it will matter

Bronze medalist Price has turned over too, who beat Tyson Fury extremely comfortably in the amateurs.

You also have Tom Dallas and a bunch of other good heavyweights so don't count your chickens...

Fury was 17 and it was only his 9th fight.

Hopefully your man Larry and Fury keep winning. Be a good match in the not to distant future.. especially as the hype as already started

It's funny actually, when Larry read all that crap he was baffled. He called Frank straight away and asked whether there really was an offer put in by Team Fury.

Maloney confirmed it but obviously the fight makes zero sense right now. I'm not too sure what Hennessey is thinking. I think he knew it wouldn't happen yet and just wanted to cause a fuss about his new heavyweight (similar to what Arum did with Margarito - most feared etc).

Larry finds the headlines extremely amusing ('Fury makes Warmachine retreat' ). I don't want to speak for him too much because the guy is extremely humble and doesn't want to get drawn into a slanging match. Just be safe in the knowledge that Larry is no way, shape or form afraid of Tyson Fury

It's a great time for the U.K heavyweight scene. It could potentially be the best we've had it for a long, long time if all of these top class amateurs develop well into the pro ranks. I'm really excited to see how things play out

Yet another win for Tyson Fury earlier on ivt4,did anyone watch it?He won by TKO in the second round after his opponant recieved a bad cut to his left eye.Even know its still early days for Tyson to be a real threat in the division.One good thing i saw from Tyson was that he lost a bit of weight from around his waist and seemed to benefit from that with him moving around the ring better.I know its far too early to say how good Fury really isi mean you cant blame him for taking out his opponatnts too early.I mean if they there to be taken out then go for it!!At least Fury has been quite busy in his early pro career.It was his third fight tonight ALREADY!!

[Fenster]

I thought he showed real flashes of talent. His hand speed really is impressive.

Considering that guy took Derek Chisora 8 rounds the other month it's a decent result. (think the cut done the guy a favour considering he was getting pummeled)

Tyson is good and getting better. He may need to accelerated a bit more to get a better work out.

Not impressed...again

Peret was stopped with a scratch on his eye..(Yes he would have lost anyway but it made the victory look better than it was)

Not sure what Tyson's 'surprise' tonight was? To show us how cocky he could be...to try and do his best Muhamad Ali or Roy Jones impression? Fighting with his hands down and being cocky doesn't suit him...

Positives...He has a great jab and a nice whipping uppercut that has looked good in all of his fights so far. Needs to put on some muscle and maybe add some power before he is stepped up too high imo.

I watched the fight the other week too, though he looked alright, but as a rule I don't like boxers with untested chins strolling around with their hands down.

He was maybe more patient than he had been before, but my main memory of the fight will be Peret himself, who looked to me like a henchman from a James Bond film.
