Tyson Fury makes his second comeback fight later this month after an initial comeback fight recently which saw him box for the first time in nearly 1000 days.
The Sefer Seferi fight recently was never going to teach anyone much. Even Fury would admit that surely.
Francesco Pianeta however on August 18th should give him some rounds and will also represent a much taller, genuine heavyweight than Seferi did.
A man who’s fought in better class all round as well.
The folks at BT Sport have brought out this video which does show Fury punching very fast on the pads with trainer Ben Davison, particularly for a man of Fury’s size:

Fury added:
Them 4 left hooks in a row will be Pianettas chin shattered all over Belfast?

Fury often divides the opinion of the fight community for his colorful personality but the above video has definitely sparked some genuine interest from fans:

Yet when he gets in the ring he just jabs and holds.

Fury more than any fighter out there seems to split opinion more than anyone else, a real love him or hate him type character.
At present he is in talks to fight WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder if he gets through August 18th – but first thing is first – as they say.
