Fury fighting in November

Tyson Fury will defend his Commonwealth title against 34-year-old Canadian Neven Pajkic in Manchester next month. Both men will put unblemished 16-bout professional records on the line in the fight at EventCity, Trafford Park, on 12 November.

Must say that it is great to see Fury keeping so busy could prove that he is very serious and commited to this.

It seems as though the challenger has had to go the distance in his last 6 bouts winning all by UD. with only 5KOs in his 16 fights would suggest maybe he is not a big hitter.

Any thoughts?

Never heard of the opponent, but then at least Fury's keeping busy and I'm curious to see if there's an improvement in his physique that might hint at better preparation and greater devotion.

Is that the one and only Nevan 'no surrender' Pajkic ?

From what I've seen Balti his physique has been improving with every fight so quite keen to see how this goes. Be good to see if he can keep improving and keep fight with this regularity

It is indeed Jukebox care to share any insight into him? Other than he is not one for waving the white flag.

I'd noticed he was a little lighter against Chisora. I know he's not the second coming of Ali bit at the same time I can't fault the guy if he really trains seriously now and starts to look the business, and one of the first steps to that is fighting regularly.

Will it be live on terrestrial again?

This is good news. He seems to be back to being an active fighter and getting exposure on TV. Good luck to the lad. Hope he makes a few quid. If I was him, I would concentrate on winning the Lonsdale belt outright and then start challenging the leading Europeans,
