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.

Fury-Cunningham: The most entertaining heavyweight fight in years

by

fury3333By Lee Smith: British Heavyweight Contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) defeated American Steve Cunningham 25-6 by 7th round KO last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York, to further stake a claim for a World Title Shot.

Despite a lot of people criticizing Fury for his sloppy performance in the opening rounds I think he deserves a lot more credit that he is getting. In fact both fighter deserve credit for putting on a fight which was probably the most entertaining heavyweight fight in years. With two contenders going toe-to-toe from the off and neither wanting to win a boring fight on points.

The fight swung one way then the other. It had knockdowns, point deductions, two fighters who wanted to win and most of all the one thing boxing fans want from a heavyweight fighter…A knock out victory.

The Need for a Super Heavyweight Division

by

fury2222By sslg99: After witnessing unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) wrestle, elbow, headbutt, and finally knockout Steve Cunningham, I see the need for the super heavyweight division. I feel that many heavyweight fighters just rely on their size and dominate smaller fighters because of it.

Fighters who are so close but just can’t make the cut off for cruiserweight, are stuck fighting giants. That’s not fair to them, and to us fans who don’t want to see a young, talented heavyweight fighter be blanketed by a much larger opponent.

Not only would the matches be fair if there was a super heavyweight division, they’d be much more entertaining for viewers. No one wants to see another fight like Fury vs. Cunningham, because they are boring, there’s no other way to put it.

Fury: I’ll KO Wladimir like I did Cunningham

by

fury111By Scott Gilfoid: Fresh off his poor performance against Steven Cunningham last Saturday night in a fight where Fury knocked Cunningham out while holding him in place with his left arm, Fury is now saying he’s ready to step up several levels and knockout IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko when he gets the chance at some point in the future.

Fury said to thesun.co.uk “When Wladimir fights me I will know him out just like I KO’d Steve Cunningham. If I have to go through [Kubrat] Pulev first then fine. I will knock him out too.”

Fury will have to go through Pulev if he wants to fight Wladimir because he’s not going to pick him out and give him a title shot based on Fury’s poor performance against Cunningham.

Tyson Fury fails to impress in win over Cunningham

by

fury11By Tom Drury: I have followed boxing all my life from amateur bouts to the pro level. In my opinion boxing is the sport of all sports and the men that participate are lions, fearless competitors and athletes of the highest order. I have many personal favorites; Floyd “Money” Mayweather is my all time favorite, closely followed by “Sugar” Ray Robinson.

Other favorites of mine include Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, “Iron” Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Andre Ward, Bernard Hopkins, Carl Froch, Muhammad Ali, Adrien Broner, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Nonito Donaire, “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Edwin Valero, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko and the great Cuban amateur legend Felix Savon.

Deontay Wilder: If I knocked Tyson Fury I down, I’d have finished him off

by

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) says he’d have put UK heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) out of his misery had it been him that had knocked the 6’9” Fury down last Saturday night instead of the smaller 6’3”, 210 lb. Steve Cunningham at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Cunningham, 36, dropped Fury in the 2nd round but then failed to go after him to try and finish him off despite the fact that he was badly hurt.

Tyson Fury’s trainer gives him poor marks for his win over Cunningham

by

fury54By Scott Gilfoid: Peter Fury, the trainer/uncle for unbeaten Irish heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s), thinks he did a poor job in his 7th round TKO win over Steve Cunningham last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

Peter thought Tyson didn’t fight a disciplined fight, which might explain partly why Fury was dropped by Cunningham in the 2nd round from a big right hand.

Peter said on his twitter: “This wasn’t him last night. I give it two out of ten. This is what happens when I’m not there. He didn’t follow procedure; he just went out of control.”

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between Fury in this fight and the one that has fought in his other fights.

Deontay Wilder will destroy Tyson Fury: Prediction

by

fury122By Scott Gilfoid: After watching British heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) defeated 210 pound Steve Cunningham by a 7th round TKO last night in New York, I think it’s academic at this point to say that American knockout artist Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) would absolutely destroy the 24-year-old Fury if given the chance to fight him.

Weighing 44 lbs. more than his opponent, Fury knocked Cunningham out by putting his big left forearm across his head and then while holding him in place with that arm, Fury then connected with a right hook to knock him out. Needless to say the knockdown shouldn’t have counted because you can’t physically hold your opponent in position while you nail him with shots. That’s called holding and hitting and Fury got away with it last night big time.

Tyson Fury shows he has the heart of a champion in beating Cunningham

by

fury2By Mark Calooke: Tonight, unbeaten Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) vs. Steve Cunningham (25-6, 12 KO’s) was heavyweight boxing at its best. Toe to toe big, big punches, knock downs, knock outs and grit.

Steve Cunningham has had 8 world title fights and never been stopped. He certainly was Tyson Fury’s biggest test to date. But Tyson Fury was to good for the veteran.

Although Fury was the better boxer. Cunningham did have moments of brilliance. A big right hook in the second round saw big Tyson Fury sink to the canvas. it was a tremendous shot and the kind that could smash down walls. Cunningham, the underdog, looked like he had been given the pot of gold. But Fury got back up and recovered quickly.

Fury stops Cunningham; Hughie stops Rozman

by

fury3by Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) had to get up off the deck to stop the much, much smaller 210 lb. Steve Cunningham (25-6, 12 KO’s) in the 7th round on Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden, New York.

The end came when Fury trapped Cunningham against the ropes and shoved him hard when he attempted to escape. Fury then nailed Cunningham with a short right uppercut followed by a nice right hook that put Cunningham down on the canvas for the 10 round.

In the 2nd round, Cunningham dropped Fury with a peach of a right hand to the head that put Fury down on his backside. Unfortunately for Cunningham, he wasn’t able to finish Fury off because he was too tired to throw more than a handful of punches. Had it been a normal sized heavyweight with better stamina than the heavily muscled Cunningham, Fury likely would have been stopped in that round.

Fury promising to retire if he doesn’t KO Cunningham or impress

by

fury32By Scott Gilfoid: Taking a page out of the playbook of Audley Harrison, unbeaten heavyweight contender/prospect Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is saying he’ll retire if things don’t work out his way tonight against the 210 pound Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

It’s not as if Fury doesn’t have everything stacked in his favor. His promoter picked out a fighter that is in his mid-30s and who has fought as a cruiserweight for most of his career until recently. Fury has a 44 pound weight advantage and he’s younger by 12 years and 7 inches taller. This is called very, very careful match-making to make sure that Fury stays unbeaten long enough to get put in with one of the Klitschkos.
