Integrated sports have announced Derek Chisora v Tyson Fury is to shown on PPV in the States.
Presented by Hennessy Sports this showdown has been dubbed 'The Big Brawl', Integrated sports president Doug Jacobs said "I'm thrilled to introducing two exciting heavyweights to the U.S fans".
If my opinion was to count for little more than the amount of change i found down the back of my couch today (37p if you must know), Then i'd like to say this is great news for british boxing.
The demise of british boxing has been apparent although i've not seen it in that light, nevertheless the questions with no answers and plea's for a heavyweight to relight the boxing world is finally coming fluition.
The die hard british boxing fans that've waited for a world heavyweight champion to be proud of since the days of playing Knock Out Kings on the playstation can now raise their head's high in anticipation of what's to come. Yes we have David Haye and yes i am a fan of his but reitirement looms for the Hayemaker. My only grumble with the curent state of Heavyweights is the lack of ambition and i don't mean to say that being champion of the world is not ambition or the ultimate dream for every fighter to lace up a glove but it seems to me the desire of leaving a legacy in their name seems to be eroding from the sport.
On the bright side the British heavyweight division is looking bright with prospects and world dominating hopefulls at the plenty with the likes of David Price, John McDermott, Tom Dallas and not forgetting the mouth watering clash between Chisora and Fury with David Price in the wings ready to sign up the winner should he come through his title eliminator bout with 'BIG Bad' John McDermott.
Tyson Fury's fan base is growing rapidly and after 'Del Boy's WBO title shot was swept under the living room rug, Chisora is as hungry as ever to prove he belongs on the world stage.
Tyson Fury has said he's dedicating this fight to British king of the ring and boxings gentleman sir Henry Cooper. RIP Our 'ENRY, Always Loved, Never Forgotten
