Fury targets 40-year-old Rogan
NEW YORK: Tyson Fury (15-0 10 KOs) seems to know his limitations after beating Derek Chisora (14-1 9 KOs) in a 12-round unanimous decision last Saturday at Wembley Arena in London, England as he has refrained from taking on Wladimir Klitschko.

Fury a newly-crowned unbeaten British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion is eyeing a fight with 40-year old Martin Rogan instead of going after IBF/ WBA/ WBO heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko, who already was interested in fighting the winner of the Chisora-Fury bout.
Fury wants to defend his British/Commonwealth titles against one of the contenders then go after (EBU) heavyweight champ Alexander Dimitrenko.The 6’7” Dimitrenko would be a warm up for Wladimir because he fights somewhat in the same style as him. Fury beat a heavy looking Chisora with the judges scores being 117-112.117-112, and 118-111. Chisora opened up with a number of powerful hooks, but after that round looked spent and was against the ropes fighting only sparingly.
The fat looking 261 pound Chisora put on for this fight seemed to have sapped his energy. Boxing fans and writers wondered what he was thinking coming into a fight with Fury being so heavy. He is usually able to fight hard the entire fight instead of just a few rounds. Chisora was exhausted and could do little more than throwing occasional flurries for the rest of the fight.

“I just want to do it nice and steady,” Fury said adding, “I’ll go for the Irish title and then in defense of the British. Then maybe I can go for Dimitrenko who’s got the European. I’m only just starting off for the moment. People like Carl Froch and Amir Khan and David Haye until recently, are world champions and they’ve achieved more than me.”
