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 says he was playing mind games, he wasn’t dropped X 3

fury76(Photo credit gypsyking101) By Scott Gilfoid: Two days after posting a sad Instagram message saying how he’d been getting knocked about by a light heavyweight sparring partner from Belgium during training camp, Fury came out today to say it wasn’t true. He was just playing “mind game” for some reason. Fury also bragged about having lost over 10 kilograms (22 pounds) during the training camp.

Fury says he’s lost the weight without losing muscle. I don’t know if this is true or not. Judging by the photo, Fury still looks very, very fat, and he appears to be tensing up his flabby midsection in the photo. Even if Fury has lost 22lbs without stripping off muscle, he still has another 40lbs of lard to lose in less than two months.

I don’t know about you, but losing 40 pounds of blubber in two months would be very hard. Fury is only one-third of the way up the mountain when it comes to his fat farm to burn off the 60lbs of fat that he put on since his fight against Wladimir Klitschko last November.

Fury still has 40+ pounds to lose for Klitschko rematch

by

fury7377By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 19 KOs) hasn’t put much of a dent in the close to 60 pounds he needs to burn off before he gets down to his target weight for his rematch against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in less than two months on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

According to Sky Sports, Fury still has 44lbs to go, and he’s having problems in both his sparring and with his trainer Peter Fury. It seems the 27-year-old Tyson Fury was royally worked over in sparring on Tuesday in getting knocked down several times by a light heavyweight from Belgium.

Naturally, Peter wasn’t too happy about it and he reportedly let Fury know about it and walked out.

Fury versus Klitschko: Preview of the Rematch

by

wladimir400By Navi Singh: It’s difficult not to admire Wladimir Klitschko in spite of the persistent allegations of steroid abuse and his sometimes controversial, control-freak antics. A PHD-holder who is also conversant in four languages, Dr. Steelhammer has dominated the heavyweight division for roughly a decade prior to the sensational upset last November.

His conqueror’s uncle and trainer, the astute Peter Fury, made some interesting points about Wladimir. Long derided by some other heavyweight fighters for his supposedly below-par opposition, Peter Fury in a recent interview claimed that other talented contenders were avoiding Wladimir for all these years, as opposed to the other way round.

No trainer wanted to offer up their prospect as a sacrificial lamb. The sudden emergence of all these promising challengers almost immediately after Wladimir’s defeat to Fury is testament to this point.

Revival of interest in the heavyweight division still only hot air, at least for now

Thoroughbred boxing fans will be the first to come forward in protest to this kind of flawed account and point in the direction of all the other great prizefighters in all of the other divisions at any given point in history.

It can be argued that you need look no further than the biggest fights of the last decade and the weight divisions they took place in and conclude that boxing is not reliant on the big boys to sustain interest. But like it or not, the heavyweight division has been the de facto representative of the fight game.

Joshua talks about his sparring war with Tyson Fury

by

joshua83By Scott Gilfoid: Normally it’s kind of frowned upon for fighters to discuss what took place during sparring sessions, which is why it seems very strange that IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has decided to start talking about a sparring session that took place between him and Tyson Fury many years ago when Joshua was just an amateur and Fury a young pro in 2009.

Fury was all of 20 back then, and Joshua still a teenager. Joshua says the two of them fought in a war during the sparring sessions. He doesn’t say who got the better of who, but he does admit that he couldn’t KO Fury, and that seems to have been something he was looking to do.

Haye thinks Fury could lose to Wladimir

by

fury#1By Scott Gilfoid: David Haye couldn’t help but to notice how fat IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) has become since his upset win over former world champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) since their fight last November.

Haye now has doubts whether the 27-year-old Fury can beat Wladimir in their scheduled rematch on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Fury has packed on close to 60 pounds of pure blubber on his 6’9” frame and his training camp has turned into what amounts to be a fat farm to lose lard rather than a training camp to work on tactics, power and stamina. Haye now wonders whether Fury will balloon up in weight in the future and wind up like former world champion Buster Douglas, who put on a great deal of weight after he stopped fighting and ended up briefly in a diabetic coma.

Tyson Fury won’t be retiring after Klitschko fight, says Peter F

by

fury#1By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Peter Fury says IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KLOs) won’t be retiring from the sport after his July 9 rematch against former world champion Wladimir Klitschlo (64-4, 53 KOs) in their rematch at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury, 27, had been saying recently that he’ll be wrapping up his boxing career after his next fight against the 40-year-old Klitschko. Fury came into training looking very, very fat with a midsection that you’d normally see a non-athlete.

Tyson Fury thinks Chisora will lose to Pulev

by

fury7811111By Scott Gilfoid: After having won his last five fights against weak opposition, Dereck Chisora (25-5, 17 KOs) will be stepping up several levels against #3 WBC, #6 IBF Kubrat Pulev (22-1, 12 KOs) this Saturday night at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Chisora’s former conqueror Tyson Fury, who twice beat him with ease, is hoping he’ll defeat the taller Pulev to win the vacant EBU heavyweight title. However, Fury doesn’t think Chisora will be able to do it.

Fury doesn’t say why he thinks Chisora will lose to Pulev, but it’s likely due to the size of the nearly 6’5” Bulgarian Pulev. He’s going to be sporting close to four inch height advantage over Chisora, and he’s the far better boxer of the two.

Hearn thinks Joshua vs. Fury is possible for November

by

hearn736By Scott Gilfoid: Despite the out of shape IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) saying he’ll absolutely be retiring after his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko on July 9, he’s expected to continue his career and face IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in November or in 2017, according to Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport.

Hearn spoke with Fury’s trainer Peter Fury and he was given assurances that Fury will be taking the fight with Joshua. This leads you to question why Fury has been flapping his gums so furiously about him not liking boxing anymore and wanting to retire from the sport. Is Fury just doing this to drive up interest in his July 9 rematch against Klitschko, or is he doing this to take the pressure off from himself to make it seem to the boxing public that he’s lost interest in boxing?
