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.

Klitschko a slight favorite to beat Fury in rematch

by

fury11111By Scott Gilfoid: Despite Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) beating Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) by an upset 12 round unanimous decision last weekend to capture his IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight titles, the oddsmakers at Bovada.lv have already installed the 6’6” Klitschko as the favorite to beat Fury in the rematch in early 2016. Klitschko is a -125 favorite to beat Fury.

The question is why do the oddsmakers see the 39-year-old Wladimir as the favorite to win the fight? I think it’s a pretty obvious one. If you look at the two fighters, you can see immediately that Wladimir has the far superior punching power and offensive skills. The only reason Wladimir lost the fight last Saturday night was because he didn’t throw any punches.

Tyson Fury could vacate IBF heavyweight title rather than face Glazkov

by

fury545By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is about to lose his first title without even throwing a punch. The International Boxing Federation has ordered the 27-year-old Fury to fight #1 IBF contender Vyacheslav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KOs), who is the mandatory challenger.

The IBF isn’t going to let Fury put that fight aside while he fights former champion Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch. As such, it’s looking like Fury will either vacate his IBF title or get stripped of it by the IBF. Either way, it’s not a big deal for Fury, because he would still have the IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight titles in his possession.

Tyson Fury to Deontay Wilder: “I’ll destroy you!”

by

fury8912By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and WBC champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) went back and forth earlier today in talking trash to one another. Fury said that he plans on destroying the 6’7” Wilder in a unification fight just as soon as he gets past Wladimir Klischko (64-4, 53 KOs) in a unification fight in early 2016.

“Bronze Bomber, how about a unification fight for all the belts, you skinny, ball playing, bum city!” Fury said on his Twitter. “I’ll destroy you, [expletive]!!! Any time!!”

Klitschko-Fury averages 1.038M viewers on HBO

by

fury1000By Tim Fletcher: Last Saturday’s heavyweight clash between former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) and Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) brought in a respectable average of 1,038 million viewers on HBO from the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The Klitschko vs. Fury fight was televised during the afternoon on regular HBO. The fight was helped out in that was packaged with the replay of the middleweight fight between Miguel Cotto and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. That fight did almost as well as the Klitschko-Fury bout in averaging 901,000 viewers on HBO. The Canelo vs. Cotto fight had taken place on November 21st on HBO pay-per-view.

Fury vs. Klitschko: Can Wladimir change his fighting style?

by

wladimir81234By Gerardo Granados: As the reader already must know Wladimir Klitschko confirmed in video that he is going to rematch the recently crowned Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. It was good to see Wladimir smile again instead of whine like he did on his twitter account days ago when he said “I still don’t believe I lost. Man, I am suffering”.

I would like to see Klitschko take on WBC heavyweight belt holder Deontay Wilder first to prepare a better game plan to use against Fury, but it seems Wladimir feels ready to get into a direct rematch. Now the only question I have is if Wladimir will be able to adjust and practically change his fighting style.

Klitschko willing to fight Fury in UK if it makes business sense

by

wladimir400By Scott Gilfoid: New heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s trainer Peter Fury has been talking about wanting the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) to take place in the UK in 2016. It sounds good in theory, but it has to be something that Klitschko and his management are agreeable to.

Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente is potentially open to the idea of the Klitschko-Fury rematch taking place in the UK if it makes sense as far as the money the fight can generate. However, if it doesn’t make sense business wise, then there’s going to likely be some resistance from Klitschko and Boente.

Fury-Klitschko rematch will happen without voluntary defense for Tyson

by

fury8233By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) won’t be taking a voluntary defense before his rematch against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in early 2016. It’s going to be a straight rematch in other words, and it could take place at the Giant 80,000 seat Wembley Stadium in London, England.

That’s where Fury’s trainer Peter Fury wants the fight to take place, and it’s doubtful that Wladimir will be able to stop the fight from taking place over there now that he’s just the challenger rather than the champion.

Wladimir says he’s “greater in defeat”

by

wladimir44By Scott Gilfoid: For what it’s worth, former IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) says he won’t be retiring after his listless 12 round unanimous decision loss to Britain’s Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) last Saturday night despite his dreadful performance. Wladimir says he’ll be using his rematch clause in his contract to get a second fight with Fury. One can only hope that the second fight will be better than the first.

Klitschko, 39, believes he can do better than he did in that fight, which is why he intends on fighting the younger 27-year-old Fury a second time. Wladimir thinks that the interest in a second fight against Fury will be high, and he’s probably right about that. A lot of boxing fans will tune in if for no other reason to see if Fury can retire Wladimir by beating a second time.

Deontay Wilder: I would have KO’d Klitschko

by

1-Screen Shot 2015-09-26 at 10.51.17 PMBy Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) got a chance to see last Saturday’s fight between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) and Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), and he was anything but impressed with the lack of action in the fight.

Wilder says the fight was very, very boring to watch, and that the two fighters looked more like dancers than boxers in the ring. Wilder, 6’7”, says he would have knocked the 39-year-old Wladimir out if it had been him in the ring with him, because he would have thrown too many power punches for Wladimir to deal with. Wladimir wasn’t throwing anything in the fight and was just moving around and looking scared.

Klitschko: I still don’t believe I actually lost!

by

wladimir100By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) is still in shock that he was beaten by Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) last Saturday night in Dusseldorf, Germany. Wladimir, 39, came into the fight with the British Fury expecting to either KO him or pound out a one-sided 12 round decision. But instead of winning the fight, Wladimir came up short in losing a decision at the ESPRIT Arena in front of 55,000 fans.
