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.

Tyson Fury was not ready for Klitschko rematch, says source

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.

Hennessy Sports, Klitschko Management Group (KMG) and Team Fury regret to inform that World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury has suffered an ankle injury in training and is therefore unable to defend his belts against Wladimir Klitschko on July 9 at the Manchester Arena.

Tyson Fury injured, fight with Klitschko postponed!

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 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 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 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.

Tyson Fury is the No.1 heavyweight on the planet, says Peter F.

By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Peter Fury totally disagrees with Matchroom Sport promoter Barry Hearn, who said on Monday that he sees his fighter IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) as the best heavyweight on the planet. Peter thinks Hearn is way off, but he understands it’s just his own personal opinion and not reality.

Peter says the 6’9” Fury is the No.1 fighter on the planet, and points to his victory last November over former longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko as proof of that. That win over the 40-year-old Wladimir is enough to make Peter believe that Fury is top dog in the world.

I hate to be the one that drizzles over the Peter and Hearn’s vision thing, but I don’t see either Fury or Joshua as the No.1 fighter in the planet.

Deontay Wilder: I want Joshua or Fury in October or November

By Jeff Aranow: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder says he’s ready to fight a unification match against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua or IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury if they win their next fights and if they’re interested in fighting him. Wilder says he’s wants to fight either of those guys.

Whether a unification fight takes place between one of those to British champions will depend on them winning, and Wilder winning his next fight against Chris Arreola on July 16. Of course, it also will depend on Joshua or Fury’s promoters being open to letting them fight Wilder in a risky unification match.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn wants to match him against Fury in November. Fury says he would like to fight Joshua or Wilder. Fury would likely take the bigger money fight against Joshua, however.

Hearn: Fury loses if REAL Klitschko shows up

By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Barry Hearn is hoping IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) defeats Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in their rematch next month on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Hearn wants Fury and his fighter IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) to face each other at the end of this year in November in a mega-fight.

Hearn says he still wants to make the Joshua-Fury fight even if he loses to Wladimir on July 9. He still sees the Joshua vs. Fury fight as a huge fight no matter what the outcome is for Fury’s fight with the 40-year-old Wladimir.

Fury says Joshua’s opponent Breazeale is “Another knock-over”

By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury doesn’t think too much of IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s opponent 2012 U.S Olympian Dominic Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs), who he’ll be facing this Saturday night on June 25 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Fury sees the big 6’7” Breazeale as another one of Joshua’s soft touch opponents that is brought over to the UK so that he can bowl them over and look better than he actually is.

Fury doesn’t think it’s helping Joshua to be fighting stiffs one after another instead of talented fighters that can give him rounds and teach him things he’ll need to know when he starts facing the cream of the heavyweight division.
