Perez desperate to face Fury

Irish-based Cuban Mike "The Rebel" Perez is desperate to secure a fight with heavyweight Tyson Fury on November 12th

Win over Fields inspires confidence

Irish-based Cuban Mike "The Rebel" Perez is desperate to secure a fight with Tyson Fury on November 12th and insists he saw nothing in his rival's defeat of American Nicolai Firtha in Belfast last weekend to scare him. Perez won the International Prizefighter title earlier this year to stretch his perfect record to 16 straight wins and he's confident he can do the same to Fury on November 12th. Fury had accused Perez of ducking a fight with him but the southpaw blasted: "Why would I not want that fight? It's easy money and a chance to make a lot of people happy by knocking him out and shutting his big mouth. "Fury is just like his fellow countryman David Haye, he talks the talk but he doesn't deliver. Fury's promoter asked about the fight a few weeks weeks ago when he still didn't have an opponent. I said yes straight away and asked them to send through a contract but we never heard any more about it. "He says he's fighting again on November 12th so come on, put your money where your big mouth is and make a real offer this time. I watched the fight on Saturday night and it was a joke, it should never have been stopped. "Fury was in more trouble in the third round than Firtha was when the fight was stopped in the fifth. Firtha was knocked out cold by Tye Fields, a guy I blew away in 32 seconds in the Prizefighter so I think that speaks for itself."
