Fury v Chambers?

The Times is reporting that Tyson could be facing Eddie Chambers in December. I personally think this would be a decent move, and if taken, shows that Fury is building up the right right way.
I know he has taken a lot of stick for not facing Price, but i dont mind waiting for that fight in a couple of years time, when both are more established. I d like to see them both take on a few fighters of this standard over the next year or so and then meet when one or both actually hold titles

Good move if true, however I heard that Fury was set up to fight Ruslan Chagaev (another good move if you ask me).

I agree that a Price fight can wait as, potentially, we would have a big British heavyweight fight - the first since Bruno vs Lewis (Haye/Harrison doesn't apply at all).

It's worth keeping an eye out on Fury's next move.

No way will Fury fight Chambers!

All the credit if he does but he definitely won't!

Bad move for Fury, I reckon Chambers will school him, he's used to fighting the big man and know how to frustrate. Barring a robbery, I think Chambers takes the UD here.

Good fight if he takes it, sort of level he should be fighting at right now and I think it's winnable though far from clear cut.

That said, he was meant to be fighting Chagaev was he not? That rumour never went anywhere either.....

Good fight for Fury. The kid is stepping up quite well. He should KO Chambers who in reality is a cruiser.

Chagaev only agreed to the fight this month so I don't think it's a case of it not going anywhere, they're probably just sorting out the contracts.

Although Chambers would be a good step (especially if the fight is in the US). There's more weight in the Chagaev fight than the Chambers, as both Fury and Chagaev have talked about it... This just sounds like rumour mill.

No way is he fighting Eddie Chambers.

Whats the career strategy there? Avoid everyone for an eternity then put him in with someone he's going to lose to?

If you aren't Wlad, then you are not stopping Fast Eddy Chambers.

Does Fury have the power to stop him? Yes!

Will fury lay a glove on him? NO!

Bad fight. Take Chagaev instead.

I didn't think it had actually been agreed even. Thought I read something about Chags rejecting it.

Nah won't happen, Chambers is about 70 places to high for a Fury opponent

From what i can remember of the article, it did say his promotional company were 'in discussions' with Chambers regarding a possible fight on the 1st of December.
Had i read it in the Sun then i would have taken it with a pinch of salt, but the times doesnt usually print stuff without any substance whatsoever

Nope, he was without a trainer and when he heard his name mentioned by Fury, he contacted them and expressed interest in the fight - he just asked for time to gather a team before getting any contracts signed (pretty much giving a verbal "yes" to the fight).

There's a load of other stories on it if you have a look about on Google too.

Take on Solis or Areola if you want step up. Take Michael Grant if you want to increase your US profile. Take on Holyfield if you don't care what anyone thinks

Take on Price and clean up domestically. Oh wait, he wont because he will get flattened.

fury is often supposedly fighting somebody good next but then fights somebody much worse. bit like cleverly. i think chambers would beat fury comfortably if they thought, but it wont happen

Whoever he fights will be an improvement on his last two opponents - he can't get away with that again, surely.

I think he's improved a lot and has decent skills but I still think he'll be knocked out by the first decent fighter he faces.

My reading of these it that of a much more negative spin than yours.

Basically I wouldn't put the fight at any more than 'mooted' at this stage, Chags has simply said he would take it, not that he will. There are enough obstacles in the way to make this about as likely as Clev fighting a divisional contender.

Fury will not risk his turn on the title challenge merry go round by fighting anyone with a pulse let alone someone like Chambers who would completely outbox and outclass him.

Agree with the consensus here that Chambers providing he's in decent shape will be way too good. I also don't think he could stop Chambers as he is difficult to catch clean, Wlad has this lights out power which Fury will never have.
