\"\"<\/a>Undefeated challenger Tyson Fury believes his July 23 showdown in \u201cThe Big Brawl\u201d Pay-Per-View event against defending British & Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion Dereck \u201cDel Boy\u201d Chisora, airing live from Wembley Arena in London, is merely the first step on his chosen journey<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Brawl,\u201d presented by Hennessy Sports, will be distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 3 PM\/ET \u2013 12 PM\/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, and Avail-TVN, for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.

The 22-year-old Fury (14-0, 10 KOs) will be challenging World Boxing Council (\u201cWBC\u201d) # 12 rated Chisora (14-0, 9 KOs) for his British and Commonwealth title belts in the 12-round main event. \u201cThis is a very, very important fight for me, especially having it shown live in the United States,\u201d Fury said between training sessions. \u201cWe\u2019re both 14-0 and don\u2019t like each other at all. It\u2019s a good match-up. I had to call him out recently because I was worried that he was going to pull out of our fight. All he\u2019s been talking about is money. But my promoter, Mick Hennessy, is paying him more money for this fight than he\u2019s made in his entire career. I\u2019m really looking forward to July 23rd because, after I beat Chisora, the sky\u2019s the limit for me. I\u2019ll win the European title and then knockout one of the Klitschkos. I will be world champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury is a 6\u2019 9,\u201d 260-pound Irishman who was born in Manchester and lives in Cheshire, England, but as an amateur boxer he represented both England and Ireland because his father is from Galway and grandmother (on his mother\u2019s side) hails from Belfast. His Irish Traveller family has a long history in boxing going back to bare-knuckles days. Named after \u201cIron\u201d Mike Tyson, the WBC No 21-rated Fury is the cousin of world middleweight contender and former Irish Olympian, Andy Lee.<\/p>\n

The personable, charismatic Fury believes Irish boxing fans in the U.S., naturally, are going to embrace him as he expands his market across the Atlantic. \u201cFighting on pay per view in the U.S. is good for me, particularly among the Irish over there,\u201d Fury noted. \u201cOnce the Irish in the states watch me fight and get to know me, I\u2019ll win them over and then I\u2019ll go back over there to celebrate with them when I win the world title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury is deceiving, physically-speaking, largely because his obvious bulk defies his athleticism, which is a huge advantage for Tyson in the ring. \u201cBoxers my size usually can\u2019t move very well,\u201d he explained. \u201cI have good movement. My foot and hand speed is very good. I was blessed when God gave out talent. I\u2019m in good shape now and will be in the best shape of my life for this fight. I\u2019m a nice boxer with power. I\u2019m going to use by height and range against (the 6\u2019 1 \u00bd\u201d) Chisora.\u201d<\/p>\n
