Tyson Fury expects explosive Joey Abell bout

Fury expects explosive Abell bout

British heavyweight Tyson Fury has predicted an explosive encounter when he faces Joey Abell at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday night.

Fury has been out of the ring for 10 months after two potential bouts with David Haye were shelved, but the unbeaten fighter has revealed that he is eager to do a "demolition job" on the dangerous American.

The 25-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I'm just looking forward to getting in there now on Saturday and doing a demolition job on Joey Abell.

"There are going to be fireworks and you're likely to expect a knockout. Either me or him are going to sleep because I'm not here to mess around - I'm here to knock people out."

Abell has won 29 times in 36 matches, with 28 of those victories coming by knockout.
