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: Chisora will definitely fight me

by

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is all bent out of shape because the WBC dropped him to the No. 8 spot in their rankings recently following Fury’s blabbering about retiring from boxing due to his two fights with David Haye not materializing.

Fury now finds himself way down in the pack for a shot at the WBC heavyweight strap, which is the belt that Fury really wanted. But with his low rankings, Fury won’t be fighting for the WBC title for at least 2 years unless he’s given a chance to fight for the title in an optional defense for the winner of the Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola fight.

Fury blaming Schaefer for Deontay fight not happening

by

schaefer2By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) after going quiet and saying he’s retiring from boxing after Deontay Wilder’s promoters at Golden Boy Promotions attempted to line up a fight between Deontay and him, Fury is finally talking and blaming Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer for the fight not taking place. Fury claims that he’s not gotten anything in terms of a contract from Schaefer.

It’s pretty sad that Schaefer tried to setup a fight with Fury and Deontay, but he could never get a hold of Fury’s promoter on the phone, he said. Not sure what happened, but Schaefer says Fury’s promoter never picked up the phone nor did he call him back.

Only a matter of time until Wladimir Klitschko looks to Fury for a challenge

by

wladimir3By @BoxingMuse: The youngest Klitschko, Wladimir is the closest thing we as boxing fans have had to an undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis’ reign. Now that older brother Vitali Klitschko has vacated the WBC title which he has held since 2004, there is now an opening for several heavyweight contenders.

A rematch between Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola, who are ranked No 1 and No 2 by the WBC will most likely decide the new WBC champ unless the governing body goes in a completely different direction.

The 200lbs + division is still without the life in which made it historically the most glamorous division in our sport. Although recent times the heavyweight scene shows some promise, genuine threats towards the remaining Klitschko ‘Dr. Steelhammer’ are still lacking.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten #11 WBC heavyweight contender Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (19-0, 17 KO’s) recently heard Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) mention wanting to fight him in 2014, and Browne is ready take on the 6’9″ Fury as soon as possible.

What’s next for Tyson Fury?

by

fury11By Olly Campbell: Boxing always throws up divisive figures. The type of love ’em or hate ’em fighter who draws in a crowd – be it the type of mob who cheer their man to victory, pray to see a guy knocked out, or more often than not, a combustible mix of the two.

With such a stale heavyweight scene, arguably the most divisive figure in the division is Britain’s undefeated star, Tyson Fury (21-0, 15KOs).

There can be no doubt that its been a torrid few months for the self proclaimed future heavyweight king, and my sympathies are extended to him.

Chisora eager for Tyson Fury rematch

by

chisora34343By Scott Gilfoid: After hearing about how Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) had mentioned wanting to fight him in early 2014 before facing he arguably much more dangerous Deontay Wilder, Dereck Chisora (19-4, 13 KO’s) took to his twitter account to send a speedy message to Fury telling to contact his promoter to arrange their rematch.

Chisora even asked Fury if he wants to fight him as early as February 15th, which is when Chisora is scheduled to fight next in defending his EBU heavyweight strap against an opponent still to be determined at the Copper Box Arena in London, UK.

Fury wants Deontay, Roy Jones Jr. and Chisora next year

by

By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) will be back in training camp starting in February of 2014, and he’s targeting Deontay Wilder, Dereck Chisora, Big Daddy Lucas Browne and Roy Jones Jr. this next year. Obviously, Fury won’t be able to fight all of them, so my guess is the only dangerous of the bunch, Deontay Wilder, will be excluded while Fury goes after the soft targets. It’s kind of amusing that Fury is mentioning Roy Jones Jr’s name because Jones Jr. is about to turn 45 next month, and he hasn’t fought at heavyweight since 2003. So in other words, Fury is targeting an old guy who has fought only once in his entire career at heavyweight and that was against John Ruiz.

Tony Thompson wants Tyson Fury fight

by

By Scott Gilfoid: #8 IBF, heavyweight contender Tony Thompson (38-4, 26 KO’s) says he wants a fight against #6 WBO Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) in 2014. Thompson wants the fight badly enough to where he’ll even come to the UK and face Fury in his own home country. Thompson obviously feels very confident that he’ll be able to whip Fury like he did David Price twice this year.

Wladimir: Fury’s management keeps saying he’s not ready yet

by

wladimir7245 - CopyBy Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (61-3, 51 KO’s) doesn’t understand unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) keeps mentioning his name and saying that he wants a fight with him. Wladimir says he’s been trying to get a fight against the 6’9″ Fury, but he keeps being old by his management that he’s not at the point where he can take the fight yet.

This makes you wonder whether Fury is just calling Wladimir out in a way to become popular on the cheap by name dropping. Unfortunately, name dropping is a way of boosting one’s popularity by mentioning yourself in the same class as a superior fighter. It creates the illusion with some fans with just a scant knowledge of the sport that the name dropper is in the same class as the more established fighter.

Fury bellyaching about Deontay not deserving to fight Arreola-Stiverne winner

by

deontay50395By Scott Gilfoid: Britain’s Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) thinks he should be the one to fight the winner of the Chris Arreola vs. Bermane Stiverne fight rather than unbeaten American talent Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s). The Arreola-Stiverne bout will be for the vacant WBC heavyweight title that used to belong to Vitali Klitschko until he vacated the strap earlier this week.

Unfortunately for Fury, the WBC has pushed him down in the rankings to #8 because he hasn’t stayed active and has been resting on his laurels since his close call win against Steve Cunningham last April. In the meantime, the WBC has pushed the 6’7″ Deontay to #3 in the WBC rankings.
