The much anticipated British
heavyweight title clash of David Price v Tyson Fury is already
gaining massive interest. The two could have very similar 2013’s as
29 year old Liverpudlian Price is working his way to a shot at the
World Heavyweight title, while Tyson Fury is looking ready to step in
and test himself already against world number two Vitali Klitschko.
‘England’s Fury’ who is ranked 10th in the world, will likely
get to the big prize of one of the Klitschko brothers before Price,
but it is the British Heavyweight title fight against the
Liverpudlian which has everyone talking right now.
Fury, the former British and
Commonwealth heavyweight champion has recorded twenty wins from
twenty fights so far in his career. During his successful 2012, Fury
gained the Irish Heavyweight title and also took the WBO
Intercontinental title. The last time that the 24 year old was in the
ring was against Kevin Johnson, taking an easy unanimous decision
against the American at the start of November in 2012. Discussion
between the two respective camps for a Tyson Fury v David Price clash
has been rumbling along for some time, as Britain realistically have
two genuine, potential world title holders in their midst.
The battle between the two Brits could
have massive implications for both careers. If neither gets to square
off against a Klitschko brother before they go head to head, the
loser of the British Heavyweight title clash could see their shots of
getting a world title shot dashed. So it could be a career make or
break bout for the Brits and it is wanted more by Price it seems than
by Fury. the world number ten Fury wants to jump straight in against
Vitali Klitschko, which would upset David Haye’s bid to fight the
king of the WBC.
A Tyson Fury v David Price bout would
likely be the biggest ever in British boxing history, a title bout
that would fully live to expectations. It is Price however who is
trading as favourite ahead of England’s Fury with the bookmakers at
the moment, for what should be an explosive bout when it occurs. The
longer the wait, the bigger the rivalry, but both fighters have to
put their money where their mouths are in their bouts leading up to
the big clash.
