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.

Deontay Wilder says he’ll lose interest in facing Fury if he loses to Klitschko

deontay32 - Copy (2)By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBO, #3 IBF, #3 WBC, #5 WBA heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) could get a world title shot against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) likely without having to wait until the end of the year like the 6’9” Fury is having to wait for his title shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Fury prefers to take the fight against Wladimir rather than facing the 6’7” talented Deontay for his WBC strap. Fury says that he wants to face Wladimir, 39, because he sees him as the top heavyweight in the division, and wants the credit with beating him.

Deontay Wilder to Tyson Fury: Don’t go the Klitschko route, go my route!

by

wilder4By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) says he really wants a fight against Britain’s Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) so he can be the first one to give the 6’9” Brit a defeat. Deontay isn’t too happy that Fury has decided to go after IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s titles rather than him.

Wilder doesn’t want Fury to face Wladimir for more than one reason. Wilder obviously wants the Fury fight first due to the huge attention and the money the fight would make.

Will any Brits win a Heavyweight world title

by

fury90677By Gav Duthie: There are currently 5 British heavyweights (6 if you include David Haye) who have aspirations to win world titles in the division. Tyson Fury seems the closest to a world title shot but following close behind are cousin Hughie Fury, David Price, Anthony Joshua and emerging fighter Dillian Whyte. Who if any of these fighters will be world champions within the year?

1. Tyson Fury 23-0 (17)

Has to go on top at present as he is the closest to a shot. He is mandatory with the WBO and Deontay Wilder wants to fight him also. As expected he beat Christian Hammer easily on saturday night. For me Hammer is probably the highest ranked average fighter of the lot and Tyson rightly stopped him. Hammer was good enough to make Fury train and keep him honest but at 6″2 at without a big punch Fury was fine. Then comes Klitschko or Wilder. I don’t think he can beat Wladimir and as for Wilder he will also have problems. Fury has improved but still seems susceptible to the overhand right (knocked down by Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham) and that is Deontay’s best punch.

Tyson Fury interested in another stay busy fight

by

fury56By Scott Gilfoid: After beating a hapless Christian Hammer last month by an 8th round stoppage victory in a stay busy fight, #1 WBO heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) is looking to get another tune-up bout to keep him busy while he waits for an eventual world title shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko either this year or next year.

Fury wants to stay as sharp as possible for him to have a better chance of pulling off a huge, huge upset against the faster, stronger, more experienced and more talented Wladimir.

Team Fury: The Next Chapter

by

fury78By Olly Campbell: Almost four years ago, when being sentenced for his part in a violent brawl that left a man blind in one eye, then trainer and father of Tyson, “Gypsy” John Fury, told the judge he was extremely worried about the impact his jailing would have upon his sons boxing career.

At the time Tyson was the English heavyweight champion in preparation to fight Marcelo Nascimento and was just months out from his first victory over Dereck Chisora for the British Heavyweight title. It was February 2011. John Fury was sentenced to 11 years.

Tyson Fury: The way to beat Wladimir Klitschko is to fight from a southpaw stance

by

fury56By Scott Gilfoid: Despite #1 WBO challenger Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) never having fought anyone even remotely as talented as IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (63-3, 53 KOs) before in his career, Fury believes that he can beat the 6’6” Ukrainian Klitschko simply by switching his fighting stance to southpaw when the two fighters face each other in a fight that likely will take place next September. Fury is coming off of an 8th round stoppage win over Germany’s Christian Hammer last Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

Fury, 6’9”, likes to point out that the late 6’4” South African Corrie Sanders was a southpaw, and he was able to get Wladimir out of there in just two rounds in their fight in March of 2003.
