American heavyweight Eddie Chambers will be trained by
Peter Fury in a bid to challenge for the world title a second time.
The 31-year-old has a 36-4 record but three of those
defeats have come in his last four fights, most notably when he fought
undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2010.
Chambers, small for a heavyweight, had even dropped to
cruiserweight for his last fight in August but slipped to a 10-round points
loss to unheralded South African Thabiso Mchunu.
He is now looking to put the inactivity of the last four
years behind him under the tutelage of fellow contender Tyson Fury's uncle.
"I am happy to be part of Team Fury Promotions.
Being with Peter Fury and part of Team Fury is going to take me to the level
Peter knows I'm capable of," he said.
"They have the right resources and boxing knowledge
that I feel has been missing in my career so far.
"I've had some great trainers in the past, however,
I think with Peter's great knowledge in the ring and also his business
knowledge out of the ring, it gives me the confidence and inspiration I need to
believe us as a team can do big things.
"I can't wait to fight in the UK for all the boxing
fans there. I have a message to all heavyweights in the world - Eddie 'Fast'
Chambers is coming for you soon."
Fury added: "I'm over the moon to have the great
pleasure of working with Eddie Chambers. For some years I have always admired
the boxing skills he possesses as a fighter.
"Having the trust and opportunity to challenge
myself again is great. I love the American fighters of the past and am really
excited to show the world what Eddie can achieve in world heavyweight boxing.
"This can only breed success for my fighters. I'm
only in boxing to reach world goals and I believe by adding Eddie Chambers to
our team is one more step in that direction."
