Hennessy rubbishes talks of Fury-Harrison

Love the last line from Mick mlol/

 

 

Tyson Fury saw a press conference promoting his September 17 fight gatecrashed by an irate Martin Rogan.

 

British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Fury is still searching for an opponent for the King's Hall clash after Rogan, who can boast a win against Audley Harrison on his CV, turned down an offer.

 

Rogan was a surprise guest at the press conference and, before the media could ask any questions, he got to his feet and accused Fury and his promoter Mick Hennessy of not showing enough respect during negotiations.

 

But Fury refused to rise to the bait, remaining calm in the face of Rogan's provocative attack from the audience. "We spoke after the [Dereck] Chisora fight and you said to me it would be a great fight at the King's Hall and it's unfortunate it won't happen," Fury said.

 

"Me and you have always had a decent relationship, I came over and sparred you when I was 17 years old. We had a nice chat in London but then you come back to Belfast and say you're going to knock my face in, yet I never said a thing about you.

 

"So if someone says something about me behind my back then I'm going to say something back. I am a man of honour and if I want to say something I'll say it to a man's face. The fight is open to you, so take the fight."

 

Hennessy said Rogan-Fury would not be happening at any point: "No, we've been there, done that. We're moving on. Rogan just didn't want to fight."

 

Fury has been linked to a clash against the Irish-based Cuban Mike Perez, who looks the most likely option for September, while Harrison is also known to be keen - although he is reluctant to return to the ring before 2012.

 

Asked about Harrison as a possible opponent for Fury, Hennessy said: "I've just brought Channel 5 into boxing -- I don't want to chase them away!"

Id pick Harrison over Fury.

 

Fury is a very very average fighter.

 

Harrison is just a bottle job, but he has the power to KO fury.

 

An overweight Del Boy had him in trouble.

 

It woulldnt shock me if a confident Fury ended up winning 11 rounds of 12 then eating a massive left in the 12th, ala Sprott.

Don't even think that man, it might encourage him to get back in the ring...after all, he apparently landed the Haye fight after a couple of emails! mlol/
