Peter Fury has a up-to-date pretender on his hands, after the featherlight gradus of heavyweight Kraus maintained his one hundred percent ko over the weekend.
23-year-old Dutchman raced to 7-0 in eight months and looked impressive, stopping Ross McGuigan in the second round on Saturday.
Kraus, competing with Daznie in Connexin in Hull, Kraus brought a radiant smile on Fury’s face when he made another statement.
Kraus, who comes from OSS, did not allow any of his opponents to reach the third round in his early career.
Despite the amateur career with almost as many losses as victories in 23-18, according to BoxKraus seems to be suitable for the PRO ranks and rose to change like a duck into the water.
Peter Fury Comfort Gradus Kraus as a talent “once in generation”
Speaking after my victory in the GBM Sport program, Kraus said: “Until now I finished all my fights to the second round. I hope that we will reach the third round next fight and get more time!
“But for me I am ready to face anyone now. My team tells me not to hurry, I am not in a hurry, great fights will come, and now it’s time to improve my craft.
“So I listen to them and let them lead me. But for myself I fight for the title tomorrow if they let me!”

Fury, who trains his son Hughie Fury, and earlier trained was a weighty weight master Tyson could not hide his admiration from another knockout.
“I knew him since he was a boy and always said that he was a phenomenal talent at the elite level, once in a generation of a warrior,” said Fury.
“I am not one of the speaking of people, I think everyone knows about it. I am a plain speaker and I say what I see. This kid is a phenomenal talent and he goes to the top.”

At Hull, headliner, entitled “GBM: Deep Waters”, saw Brad Rea Trade Trade with Shakan Pitters in a comical competition.

“It is a pity that there must be a lost in such a fight. I would like to see a rematch. A huge win for Brad Rea, and unfortunately it was not Shakan’s night.”
In Kraus he added: “Gradus Kraus would go against every ten in the top ten British featherlight of featherlight next week, if we set him for him.
“He would fight anyone in the top five. But you don’t have to hurry. He will be a superstar, he goes all the way, so we’ll let him develop there.
