Tyson Fury: On the road to heavyweight stardom?


Tyson Fury took another step towards a fight against Wladimir Klitschko with a fifth stoppage of game but limited New Yorker Vinny  Maddalone to win the WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight title.  6ft 9inch Fury controlled the fight from the start, landing heavy punches which eventually opened a nasty cut over Maddalone’s left eye.  Fury seemed to ease off and wanted the referee to step in towards the end – something he won’t be able to do against higher level opposition. Who next for Fury? I’d personally like to see him in with Seth Mitchell or David Price, but talented Pole Tomasz Adamek seems a likely opponent and a massive step up in class for the undefeated contender.
