Speaking to Sky Sports,Fury said: "I’ve been looking for John McDermott for a while now.

"He’s been offered the fight before but turned it down but now that the fight has been ordered by the Board he surely can’t chicken out again.

"They call him ’Big, Bad, John’ and that certainly sums him up. He’s a big lump and he’s not very good but he has that English title and he’s pushed Danny Williams close on a couple of occasions lately for the British title.
