Fury was due to face Gonzalo Omar Basile but the Argentine has withdrawn because of a lung infection, instead he will face Abell over ten rounds on the card headlined by Chisora\u2019s WBO\/WBA International title defense against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.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbell is big and he can punch,\u201d Fury said. \u201cJust what I want on my comeback. One thing I do respect about him is his power. He\u2019s got a great knockout record and in the heavyweights it only takes one shot to turn things around. He\u2019ll have confidence in seeing that I was floored by Cunningham and he\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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\u2019s one thing I don\u2019t come off second best on and that\u2019s a fight. I\u2019m in perfect shape though and even though Abell is a late substitute there\u2019s no way he\u2019ll knock me off course for my summer rendezvous with Mr. Chisora who\u2019s got his own Yank to deal with in Johnson. I\u2019ll do my job and if he\u2019s does his then we\u2019re all set for a summer settler.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"polls-567\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_567\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_567_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"557652c40b\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do you think Tyson Fury will be a Heavyweight Champ?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-567-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1696\" name=\"poll_567\" value=\"1696\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1696\">Yes<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1697\" name=\"poll_567\" value=\"1697\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1697\">No<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(567);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(567); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-567-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/2014\/02\/02\/wba-heavyweight-champion-greg-page-remembered\/\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">WBA Heavyweight Champion Greg Page Remembered<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Tyson Fury has great hair and can sing better than Elvis.&#8221;&#8212;-Antonio Martin, RSR #1 reader, hair dresser and President of the Tyson Fury Sings Better Than Elvis Club (Phoenix Arizona Chapter &#8211; currently looking for new members to bring their total membership to 3) Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KOs) has promised not to let [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9797],"class_list":["post-35403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxing-news","tag-tyson-fury-returns-he-has-great-hair-and-can-sing-better-than-elvis-boxing-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35403"}],"version-history":[{"count":-1,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35403\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
