BOXING:Unbeaten Irish heavyweight Tyson Fury takes on takes on American Vinny Maddalone tonight in Somerset, as he continues the search for his dream fight.

The 6ft 9in boxer is ranked number seven by the WBC and wants to become the mandatory challenger for Vitali Klitschko’s crown by the end of this year.

“It’s not hard to get a title shot, it’s about getting a mandatory title shot,” said Fury. “If it’s mandatory, then you’re talking about millions – it’s life-changing money, rather than month-changing money. The things I can change are the way I train and prepare – and getting up the rankings by winning fights.”
