Frank Warren's upcoming show at the "Copper Box" appears to have had more pullouts than you're typical 21 year old chav. Fortunately though the British promotional veteran has some how come out smelling like roses.
First we saw Dereck Chisora's (19-4, 13) opponent, Andriy Rudenko (24-0-0-1, 16), pulled out and some how Warren managed to get Kevin Johnson (29-4-1, 14) to fill in. This week it was Tyson Fury (21-0, 15) who saw an opponent pull out as the experienced Gonzalo Omar Basile (61-8-0-1, 28) pulled out.
Thankfully for Fury it seems Warren has again pulled out all the stops to get an attractive looking replacment in the form of Joey Abell (29-7, 28).
Whilst Abell might not be anything great in the ring he is better than Basile and with his power he certainly poses some danger to he unbeaten Fury.
In addition to Tyson's opponent being changed we also learned the name of Hughie Fury's (12-0, 7) opponent. Hughie will be fighting the limited American Matthew Greer (16-11, 13) who like Abell has a good punch on him though hasn't shown much in terms of durability in recent bouts.
