Fury and Vinny will headline the pay-per-view organised and promoted by the duo of Mick Hennessy of Hennessy Sports and Jamie Sanigar. The ring for the showdown will be set up at Hand Arena situated in Clevedon, Somerset, United Kingdom and will also witness

Both top-notch pugilists recently put forth the media their ambition for the upcoming encounter and vowed to put forth the British boxing fans a memorable and exciting showdown.
Fury, 24, is an emerging British brawler who has taken the heavyweight division instantly and quite impressively on fire. The young lad has been in just 18 bouts and boasts not only an intimidating undefeated streak but has also secured the seventh position
in World Boxing Organisation’s rankings.
During the media interaction Tyson humbly shared his view point about Vinny and the continuing training session. Fury stated, “He’s a good opponent, a real tough guy, who leaves nothing in the changing room, he certainly comes to fight! Training has gone
well and I’m in the best shape of my life and I’m looking forward to some good rounds and after I beat him maybe we can go out and get something to eat.”
Vinny, 38, is entering the ring with a huge experience in his baggage. The veteran has been in a total 43 bouts and boasts 35 wins. The New York hailing proud is a decent knockout pounder who has collected 26 of his wins by knocking the opponent’s senses
out.
Maddalone, who is on a two-bout win streak since his last loss to Tomasz Adamek, stated, “The Brits may be rooting for him in the beginning but I guarantee they will be cheering for me by the end of the night. I promise to give everything I’ve got-the Brits
are going to experience one h**l of a fight and I plan on making lots of new fans.”
The bout will definitely be a classic and worth-watching one and the odds are undoubtedly in favour of Tyson. Fury not only has the statistical upper hand but also possesses the substantial height and therefore the reach advantage which will aid him in throwing
jabs from a considerably safe distance.
