    Tyson Fury to fight a Giant

    Tyson Fury waiting on Belshaw

    Tyson Fury is out to make a statement of intent at the Watford Colosseum this Saturday when he takes to the ring for his first scheduled 8 round contest. The undefeated heavyweight sensation has stopped all five of his professional opponents to date and he’s hoping that fellow heavyweight giant Scott Belshaw will become victim number 6 this weekend. Fury is a special attraction on the undercard of the Darren Barker – Darren McDermott Commonwealth Middleweight title clash which headlines the Hennessy Sports event live on ITV4..

    Northern Ireland’s Belshaw had been due to fight in Belfast at the weekend but his contest fell through at the last minute leaving him free to take on Fury this Saturday night.

    “My promoter’s offered Belshaw the fight and all his demands have been met so lets hope he doesn’t chicken out now,” said Fury. “His team have said that he’s up for it and he’s got everything he asked for so the only thing I need to know now is that he’s going to turn up on Saturday night.”

    Belshaw, a five time Irish Amateur Champ, has just one defeat (later avenged) on his 11 fight pro record with seven of his ten wins coming inside the distance. The 6 foot 7 inch, 23-year-old has been hailed as the second coming of George Foreman by promoter Frank Maloney but Fury isn’t taking that prediction too seriously.

    “I don’t expect to be buying a Scott Belshaw grill any time soon but I can promise him a roasting on Saturday night. Some people seem to think he’s a top prospect but we’ll find out who the real deal is at the weekend.

    “I’m up for fighting any of these other so called prospects because there’s no point in me going around saying I’m the best young heavyweight out there unless I’m willing to back it up.

    I’ll be ready to make a move on the British or Commonwealth titles this year and what I saw in Belfast on Saturday night with Sam ***ton taking the Commonwealth title from Martin Rogan backs that up. I offered to take on ***ton in his back yard in just my third pro fight but he didn’t want to know so he’s already running scared.”

    Fury is just back from a trip to Germany where he got in some quality sparring ahead of this weekend’s contest. “I’ve been finding it hard to get sparring in the U.K. let alone opponents so it was good to travel over to Germany where most of the top guys are based these days.

    “It was great to get some quality sparring under my belt over there and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hopefully it will show in my performance on Saturday.”

    Fury’s sixth pro outing is part of an excellent supporting cast to the main event at the Watford Colosseum on Saturday night with Darren Barker defending his Commonwealth Middleweight title against Darren McDermott.

    In the chief support bout Matthew Thirwall and George Hillyard will battle it out in what promises to be a thrilling ten round Middleweight clash while hot prospects Bradley Evans, Steve O’Meara, Steve Barnes and the pro debut of Phill Fury (subject to board approval) also feature. Tickets are available from the Ticketline box office on 0844 888 4402 or via .

        Just read Fury's wiki page, says he weighed 1lb at birth. In a way he's already won his biggest fight just being here. They're tough these Irish tinkers!

              Scott Belshaw? only one defeat LOL..it came against the world famous tomato-can called Peret that Fury took out.


              The Heavy Weight contender that is expected to shake the division

              Honestly, can anyone take Scott Belshaw seriously? Loosing to Peret the Butter Bean copy of Europe, only difference is that Peret doesnt even hit hard..lol..I would be surprised if Fury doesn't take out this monkey in the 1st RD. I dont like Fury at all, but this is a mismatch. Belshaw , bye bye in the 1st

                Oh I see. Do Irish travellers also have Romany roots? Are they the same race as Hungarian and Slovakian Roma people and do they speak a similar language? I've always been confused about this as they don't seem to be as well tanned as their Eastern European brothers

                  He should fight Rogan after this fight and if he wins, go for ***ton.

                    Jeez is this actually happening?

                    Great fight for us fans if it is.

                    Big Scott got alot of hype when Maloney I think it was found him stealing sheep in Ireland and turned him into a decent prospect but the Peret loss was a surprise. Not seen much since but he must have abit of skill and power, well enough to give Fury a good test.
