    Mick Hennessey who promotes the fights for undefeated Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (17-0, 12 KO’s) says his fighter will eventually rule the heavyweight division. Fury defeated Bosnian born Canadian heavyweight champion Neven Pajkic (16-1, 5 KO’s) Saturday night via 3rd round TKO in a dramatic homecoming to Manchester. The bout was Fury’s debut fight in his hometown of Manchester.

    The win was not a cakewalk for the 6’9”, 257 pound Fury who was sent to the canvas for the 1st time in his career in the 2nd round by a brutal overhand right thrown by Pajkic. Fury enjoyed a huge height and reach advantage over the 6’1”, 232 pound Pajkic.

    There was some concern by some ringside observers that Fury did not make full use of his huge reach advantage and appeared to make little effort to hold his rival at bay with his long left jab.

    Fury was anxious to put on a good show for his first fight in Manchester, but the bout exposed serious flaws in his pugilistic makeup. Tyson elected once again to enter the ring not in the best of condition.
