Tyson Fury just can’t wait to unleash his rage

10 September 2009
His name is a promoter's dream, standing 6ft 7ins in his boxing boots he offers intimidating height, and scaling nearly 18st he carries impressive muscle-bound bulk.
Fury has won a world amateur junior championship bronze medal and an ABA title but has yet to be tested as a professional.
That will change tomorrow night when the 21-year-old from Manchester challenges the experienced John McDermott for the English Championship at the Brentwood Centre in Essex.
McDermott, 29, has made three unsuccessful bids for the British title, controversially losing last time out to a split decision against rival Londoner Danny Williams. But he has won 25 of his 30 bouts, 16 of those victories coming by stoppage, and has a possible rematch with Williams to fight for.
If Fury is at all concerned, he doesn't show it. Having won all his seven paid appearances inside the distance, he is brimming with confidence. He said: "Of all the heavyweights in this country, by a mile I'd say I've got the potential to go the furthest.
"The only problem I have is my impatience. I just don't rate many of the fighters around at the moment and I know I would blow a hole through them."
