Fury calls out Deontay Wilder and David Price

**GrantZilla** Mon Aug 01, 2011 4:40 am

Unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (15-0, 10 KO’s) doesn’t want to take on old timers and past their best heavyweights in the division while he’s getting ready to fight IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Fury says he wants to take on unbeaten young heavyweight prospects like Deontay Wilder (17-0, 17 KO’s) and David Price (11-0, 9 KO’s) before he takes on Klitschko.

Speaking with eastsideboxing.com’s On The Ropes Boxing Radio program, Fury said “So while we are setting up a Klitschko fight I won’t mind fighting Deontay Wilder, or Nazim Patrick the young Canadian champion, or David Price, the Olympic Bronze Medalist…I like these undefeated guys.”

Fury is only 22 or 23. He really is a prospect that is at least 2 years from being ready to face any top HWs(if ever). Has anyone heard any more about the possibility of Steward training him?

Only Steward's comments that he will likely work with him in the future.

I found it to be counter productive. If Manny also trains Fury, then he will not be fighting Wlad. And by the time Fury is even ready, if ever, to fight a Klit, Vitali will most likely be retired.

Didn't Price beat Fury in the amateurs ?

Doesn't mean shit. AMs is not boxing, and you know it. And the scoring is a joke

I was just thinking from a promotional stand point. Would be a nice back-story.

Aw, now I see what you're saying. Be good lure for casual fans. Hardcore fans know a win in the AMs don't mean shit.

Wilder should take the fight

1 or two right hands could make Fury crumble

More like Wilder would crumble. I don't think he's got a good chin, and is why he's being babied so much

Fury was wobbled by Chisora wild shots, I think Wilder could hurt him as well and is in much better shape

Why not, get it done ShoBox!!!

Yeah, be a fun fight. But that'd require Wilder's camp to step it up from fighting guys like this

[fat guy pick]

Damon Reed! a solid 228 lbs!

Yeah, but it's the 46-16 Reed we're talking about. Who had lost two fights in a row before fighting Wilder, against Toney and Rahman.

The dude lost to Herbie Hide and Kali Meehan for christ sake
