Tyson Fury Returns: “He has Great Hair and Can Sing Better than Elvis” – Boxing News

“Tyson Fury has great hair and can sing better than Elvis.”—-Antonio Martin, RSR #1 reader, hair dresser and President of the Tyson Fury Sings Better Than Elvis Club (Phoenix Arizona Chapter – currently looking for new members to bring their total membership to 3)

Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KOs) has promised not to let new opponent Joey Abell (29-7, 28 KOs) derail him from his summer showdown with Dereck Chisora at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday, February 15 in London, UK. Fury was due to face Gonzalo Omar Basile but the Argentine has withdrawn because of a lung infection, instead he will face Abell over ten rounds on the card headlined by Chisora’s WBO/WBA International title defense against Kevin Johnson. If Chisora and Fury come through their respective fights then it will set up the rematch between the two rival heavyweights which could also be a final eliminator for the WBO World title for the right to fight long-reigning ruler Wladimir Klitschko.

“Abell is big and he can punch,” Fury said. “Just what I want on my comeback. One thing I do respect about him is his power. He’s got a great knockout record and in the heavyweights it only takes one shot to turn things around. He’ll have confidence in seeing that I was floored by Cunningham and he’ll want to have a good go, he likes to get things done early with a lot of knockouts coming in the first few rounds. Who knows? He could land one on me. This is his big chance to make a name and upset the future of the heavyweight division.

“I love these American opponents. They have all the talk, but I hope and pray that he does bring it on and comes at me swinging away because it will be one hell of a tear up. There’s one thing I don’t come off second best on and that’s a fight. I’m in perfect shape though and even though Abell is a late substitute there’s no way he’ll knock me off course for my summer rendezvous with Mr. Chisora who’s got his own Yank to deal with in Johnson. I’ll do my job and if he’s does his then we’re all set for a summer settler.”
