Maloney On Fury vs McDermott

Ahead of their British heavyweight title match on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England between Luke "Tyson" Fury 7-0 (7) and John McDermott 25-5 (16), promoter Frank Maloney had a few things to say..


"I am told there have been some massive bets among different factions in the travelling community..

"That doesn't surprise me because travellers are pretty fearless when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.

"There is even a suggestion that someone in Essex has taken a £50,000 bet on Fury winning the fight which is nuts.

"There is going to be so much pride at stake between the fighters and fans that the atmosphere will be like a bear-pit and it makes for a wildly exciting match-up.

"It is a fascinating fight where McDermott is in the last chance saloon and Fury has to live up to his boasts. He'll look daft if he doesn't."

McDermott also had a few things to say...

"People don't realise I can box. I have a good left hand and my boxing is one of my best attributes.

"Look at Martin Rogan. He has a fantastic body, but I am not born like that. I run at a good pace for an hour some mornings and keep up with boxers of 11 stone. I train hard three times a day."

Fury To Fight McDermott

Unbeaten up-and-coming heavyweight Luke Tyson Fury 7-0 (7) is scheduled to face the English heavyweight champion John McDermott 25-5 (16) ( won the English crown in 2 rounds when he easily beat Pele Reid in April 2008 and will be making his first defence) for the English heavyweight title on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England.

In the last year, McDermott had lost 2 very close fights with the British heavyweight champion Danny Williams, so if Fury can win this fight very impressively, he will be a force to be reckoned with with only 8 fights in the heavyweight division. Come back for more detailed information.

Promoter Frank Maloney Quotes

"There is no doubting Tyson’s promise, but this fight has come too soon."

"John knows that if he loses this one there will be little chance of him ever winning the British title let alone getting another challenge."

About Fury's opponents:
"They have been ordinary and the one name he did beat, Scott Belshaw is someone I released from his contract because he was so disappointing."

Fury KO's Selezens

It took only 3 rounds tonight for 21 year old Tyson Fury to remain undefeated 7-0(7) and score his 7th win and 7th knockout as he defeated the 29 year old Aleksandrs Selezens of Latvia by KO who fell to 3-7(1). His opponent did not look in the best of shape, but none-the-less Fury remains undefeated and he plans to stay busy this year.

Fury entered the ring smiling to Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" and started off the 1st round easily landing the right and again throughout the round and finished the round with a left right left combination. His opponent did little to nothing.

In round 2, more of the same and in round 3, his opponent finally got a punch in with the Fury's hand left hand held low. That's all that Selezens did really. For the whole third round Tyson dominated with rights to the head and body, and by the end of the round had his opponent in trouble with a couple of right uppercuts to the chin. Selezens was down against the ropes, and managed to beat the count, but his corner through in the towel.

This was a pretty easy match, but Tyson is going to fight for the English heavyweight title when he takes on "Big Bad" John McDermott in September which should be a sterner test for him...

Fury Beats Belshaw

In his 6th professional fight, Luke Tyson Fury (6-0-0, 6 KO's) defeated a sound opponent when he defeated Scott Belshaw (10-2, 7 KOs) by TKO in the 2nd round of an eight round contest at the Coliseum, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

This is the 1st opponent he has faced at the pro ranks that could look him the eye as Belshaw was also 6'7". The fight started off with Fury popping the jab and circling. He landed a good left hook off the jab and easily avoided Belshaw's telegraphed punches. Fury landed more jabs throuhgout the round found his right and Belshaw's nose started to bleed. Before the end of the round Fury dropped him twice each time by a very hard body shot, and Belshaw managed to escape the round.

In round 2, Fury kept his right hand on his chin and landed his jab. Belshaw began to get desperate and threw wild swings which Fury capitalized on by landing a viscious left hook to the floating ribs of Belshaw. Belshaw doubled over and was clearly hurt, but instead of following up with anything Fury let the ref stop the 1 sided contest.

Tyson hopes to get a fight with Derek Chisora since Chisora is reportedly no longer fighting Danny Williams to potentially score a shot at the British heavyweight title. Stay tuned for more info.
