Sky Sports News<\/a>.<\/p>\nTurki Has a Decision<\/p>\n
When Turki Alalshikh looks at this, he has to consider name value and Fury\u2019s recent form, because in real life, failure doesn\u2019t get rewarded. If you underperform repeatedly, you don\u2019t get a raise, and handing Fury top-tier money after three poor outings would set a bad example.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do believe it will happen,\u201d Warren added. \u201cHe may have a warm-up fight, but if it happens, it\u2019ll be sometime in late summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Risk of Another Loss<\/p>\n
A tune-up makes sense because Fury needs one to show fans he\u2019s not finished. But if Turki sets it up, there has to be an escape clause, because if Fury loses that fight, going ahead with Joshua would be pointless.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it does happen, I think it\u2019s going to be massive,\u201d Warren said.<\/p>\n
For that tune-up, Fury shouldn\u2019t face a total unknown. He needs someone fans recognize who doesn\u2019t bring much risk, and a fringe contender like David Adeleye fits that purpose.<\/p>\n
Anything less than Adeleye only strengthens what many already think, that Fury is being paid for what he did years ago, not what he is now.<\/p>\n
