UK heavyweight prospect, Tyson Fury (13-0, 9 KOs), gets his first real, veteran test against former heavyweight title challenger, Frans Botha (47-5-3, 28 KOs), February 19th at Wembley Arena in London.
The 42-year old Botha is coming off a TKO 8 loss to Evander Holyfield last year, but still represents a step up in class for the 22-year old Brit whose last bout was a December unanimous decision win over 21-32-2, Zack Page.
Sharing the bill with Fury-Botha is a bout featuring British jr. welterweight titlist, Lenny Daws (21-1-2, 9 KOs), defending against Ashley Theophane (28-4-1, 7 KOs).
