What was supposed to be a tune-up fight, ended up being actually a sparring practice as British Tyson Fury won decisively on the Scorecards (100-90) defeating Francesco Pianeta in a fight that will be forgotten in just hours.
The "Gypsy King" outboxed during 10 rounds a slow Pianeta who just couldn't find his rythym and was pretty much outclassed by the bigger and faster Fury.
The Former Heavyweight Champion used and established his jab for most of the fight, and showed some nice footwork, and defense; Improving his last performance. Although Pianeta fought on "cab driver" level, Fury at least had some needed rounds to prepare him for his upcoming fight.
Speaking of which... Heayweight WBC titleholder Deontay Wilder was at ringside, and wasted no time to get inside the ring. After Fury's interview, he was asked about the negotiations of a fight with the "Gypsy" and energically said "It's On, It's On Baby" confirmed just moments after by Fury himself, who said "I'm Knocking You The Fuck Out, Bum" in what will probably be a fight for the ages.
The tentative date might be in November, and it's definitely a "cherry on the top" way to end what has been, a terrific year of boxing.
