Heavyweight hopeful Tyson Fury (22-0, 16 KO) got the bad news earlier this week that a rematch with former title challenger Derek Chisora was off due to a Chisora training injury. It was the second major cancellation for Fury in the last year. A clash with David Haye died on the vine twice, also due to injury.
For all the steps forward Fury has taken in his career, these have been some tough steps back. Since a sensational battle with former Cruiserweight titlist Steve Cunningham in April 2013, Fury has fought only once. At least there was a replacement in time for Saturday.
