It’s unlikely win, lose or draw that Fury — who won an easy decision against a much smaller man tonight — did enough to earn a bout against Paul anytime soon.
Nevertheless, Fury still shot his shot.

This was a wild round, with Ivan getting the best of Love before almost getting dropped in the final seconds because of referee inexperience:
