Tyson Fury

Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, a British boxing giant standing tall at 6’9″ and tipping the scales at 278 lbs, has been ruling the heavyweight division with his iron fists since 2020. Not just a family man with a bunch of kids and a love story that dates back to 2008 with Paris, but Fury also boasts a record that reads like a warrior’s epic—especially his trilogy with Deontay Wilder (2-0-1, with 2 KOs) and a hat trick against Derek Chisora. Before claiming the WBC crown, he unified the heavyweight titles way back in 2015, only to take a brief hiatus from the throne. With a squad of fighting siblings by his side, Fury’s not just throwing punches; he’s crafting a legacy that’s as large as his frame. Tyson Fury’s net worth is estimated to be around £50million, according to Forbes magazine.

Fury vs. Klitschko = same result, says Froch

wladimir400

By Scott Gilfoid: The opinions about the rematch between IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) are pretty well divided evenly with some boxing fans thinking Fury will do just enough to scratch out another painfully boring 12 round decision again, while other fans seeing Wladimir poleaxing the British heavyweight within the first six rounds to get the win.

Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch thinks that Fury will beat the 40-year-old Wladimir a second time, mainly because the Ukrainian heavyweight won’t do what he needs to do by throwing more punches. That was obviously the sole reason why Wladimir lost to Fury last time – he simply didn’t throw enough punches.

Despite being the older fighter, Wladimir had the better hand speed, punching power and mobility compared to Fury. Wladimir had everything going for him in that fight, but he forgot that he needed to actually throw punches to win.

Haye says Fury’s injured leg can’t be that bad

By Patrick McHugh: David Haye says he saw the injured IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury dancing around on his injured leg, and he says it can’t be that bad. Fury recently reported that he suffered an ankle injury while training.

Fury then supplied pictures of his discovered ankle as proof of his injury. The injury has resulted in Fury’s scheduled July9 fight against Wladimir Klitschko to be postponed until a still to be determined date.

In the past, Haye was twice scheduled to fight Fury and both occasions, he had to pull out of the fight with injuries. Haye suffered a cut while training for their September 2013 fight, which led to it being postponed until February 2014. However, Haye suffered a bad shoulder injury in November of 2013 that caused him to cancel the fight with Fury.

Fury vs. Klitschko: Wladimir not concerned with titles

by

wladimir100

By Scott Gilfoid: Former world champion Wladimir Klitschko says he doesn’t care about the titles when it comes to his rematch with Tyson Fury. Wladimir’s focus is on beating Fury and avenging his loss from last November.

The world titles Wladimir lost, IBF, IBO/WBA/WBO, straps are secondary to him. The Fury-Klitschko 2 rematch was supposed to be taking place on July 9 next month at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. However, Fury suffered an ankle injury recently, and the injury is expected to keep him out of the ring for the next four months until the end of October if then.

The possible date for the Fury-Klitschko2 rematch is on October 29 at the Manchester Arena.

Klitschko: Fury’s injury just means I’ll get my belt a few weeks later

By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) was disappointed on Friday with the news of IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) pulling out of their July 9 fight due to an ankle injury. The two fighters were supposed to be fighting each other at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

The fight will likely be postponed until October under the best of circumstances. Wladimir, 40, says that he’ll still be beating Fury. It just means he’ll have to wait a little bit longer before he picks up the belts from the 27-year-old British fighter.

Tyson Fury was not ready for Klitschko rematch, says source

by

fury4

By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury announced earlier on Friday that he won’t be able to defend his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in their scheduled fight on July 9th due to an ankle injury that he suffered. Fury says he’ll need another six to seven weeks for the injury. However, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN, sources say that Fury was not ready to take the fight with Wladimir due to his conditioning.

Fury had gained a great deal of weight before starting training camp for the Klitschko rematch. Taking that weight off has been job one for the 6’9” Fury. It’s unclear how far along he’s gotten at this point in trimming off the lard.

If Fury is still out of shape and overweight, he would have only three weeks to take the rest of the weight off.

Tyson Fury injured, fight with Klitschko postponed!

by

fury7

By Scott Gilfoid: Well, I knew it was too good to be true. After weeks of squawking about how he was going to beat 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) a second time in their rematch, IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is saying he’s injured his ankle and will need to postpone their July 9 fight at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury, 27, says the fight will still take place, but he’ll need between six to seven weeks for his injured ankle to heal before he can get back in the ring. It’s unclear whether Fury will need six or seven weeks before he can start training again or if that’s the amount of time he’ll need before he can fight Wladimir.

Having suffered a number of sprained ankles during my life during my athletic endeavors, I would guess that Fury will need six to seven weeks BEFORE he can start training again. As such, we could be looking at the Fury-Klitschko fight not taking place until November or December of this year depending on how well Fury’s angle heals.

Is Tyson Fury a mad genius?

by

fury7377

By Yannis Mihanos: What’s happening to Tyson Fury? He is now the IBO/WBA.WBO heavyweight champion of the world but he doesn’t behave like one in the minds of many boxing fans. Fury will be fighting a rematch next month against Wladimir Klitschko on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Is he insane biting the hand that feeds him? Is Fury actually damaging the world of boxing? Well, maybe yes maybe not.

Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) appears as unconventional and as unpredictable as he can be. It seems that Fury has one step in this reality and one step in his reality.

Wladimir: Tyson Fury is an imbecile champion

by

wladimir3

By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) feels he’s going to be doing the boxing fans as a whole a big favor when he beats IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) next month and shuts his yap after they face each other on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Fury recently made some controversial comments that upset many people, and Wladimir thinks he’s got a big mouth that he wants to close when they fight each other in their rematch.

Wladimir lost his heavyweight titles to Fury last November in getting beaten by a 12 round unanimous decision in Dusseldorf, Germany. Ever since capturing the belts, Fury has received a great deal of publicity in the boxing world, and he’s used the attention to sound off on a number of things that go beyond the sport of boxing.

Lennox Lewis says Tyson Fury better than Anthony Joshua

by

fury888

By Scott Gilfoid: While Matchroom Sport promoter Barry Hearn says he thinks IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is the No.1 heavyweight in the division, former world champion Lennox Lewis isn’t on board with that opinion. Until he sees Joshua fight in a 12 round contest and show some boxing ability, he feels that IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is the best by virtue of his recent 12 round decision win over Wladimir Klitschko last November.

Lewis isn’t sure whether the heavily muscled 6’6”, 250lb Joshua can actually box, because he’s not shown it in the past. Joshua has shown that he can slug, and that’s all he’s shown since turning pro in 2013.

You can make an argument that Joshua showed a tiny bit of boxing in his fight against Dillian Whyte in 2015, when he backed off from him after getting knocked silly by a left hook in round two. However, Joshua didn’t use any movement to speak of in that fight. He just backed up and stayed on the outside and didn’t mix it up like he’d done in the first two rounds.
