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.

A look at the upcoming fights in 2013: Mayweather-Guerrero, Fury-Cunningham, more!

floyd91By James Sexton: 2013 started off a little sluggishly, but has really picked up recently. We were treated to several real intense match-ups such as Rios-Alvardo 2, Bradley-Provodnikov, and Donaire-Rigondeaux. However I feel some of the upcoming fights this year are going to be real gems to watch and our view of some of the current ‘prospects’ is going to have changed once it is all said and done.

We have Tyson Fury’s latest outing against Steve Cunningham. A win here could propel Fury that one step closer to a fight for a world title. Although I have been highly critical of Furys chosen opposition, I am pleased to say I feel he is moving in the right direction and if it isnt in this fight, it will be one of his next few which will really show where he belongs to be rated in the heavyweight division.

Hennessy: Tyson Fury is two fights away from Wladimir

by

fury222By Scott Gilfoid: British promoter Mick Hennessy figures that his fighter unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury is only two fights away from a shot at IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko this year or perhaps next.

Fury has to get past 36-year-old former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham next Saturday night on April 20th at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. If Fury wins that fight, he then will have to face unbeaten #1 IBF Kubrat Pulev this year to become Wladimir’s mandatory challenger.

Fury in a position where he’s going to look bad against Cunningham

by

569By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury is almost in a no-win situation with his fight this month against 36-year-old Steve Cunningham at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The 6’9” Fury thinks he’s going to impress the American boxing fans with his first fight in the United States, but unless he scores a quick knockout – which is highly unlikely given his complete absence of power – he’s going to end up struggling against Cunningham.

Tyson Fury looking lean and slow for Cunningham bout

by

YouTube video
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) appears to have slimmed down a lot in his latest training camp to get ready for his April 20th fight against former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) at the Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

The odd thing is Fury looks slower than he was previous. Taking the blubber off his normally flabby looking midsection should have led to Fury getting faster, but in this case he looks slower and weaker judging by his recent workout with his trainer.

Can Cunningham pull off an upset of Fury?

by

fury1By Scott Gilfoid: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) has been speaking about himself in glowing terms for the past year or so, calling himself the greatest heavyweight on the planet even though he’s yet to face an actual top tier opponent. Sorry, I don’t count Kevin Johnson and Dereck Chisora as being 1st tier fighters.

Fury has been bragging about himself 24/7 since his fight with the 36-year-old Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) was first signed. That’s all well and good because if no one else is giving you the pat on the backs then I guess you might as well pat yourself on the back.

Fury upset that Wladimir is making him earn a title shot

by

564By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #4 WBC, #5 WBO, #8 IBF, heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is still up in arms that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is making him earn his title shot against him by working his way to a title shot instead of just having one plopped in his lap based on his victories over journeyman competition.

Fury said to the Dailymail.co.uk “A b****,” is how Fury sees the 37-year-old Wladimir. “He doesn’t want to fight back and he doesn’t want to fight anybody dangerous. So that, to me, is a b****.”

You have to wonder why Fury has been facing guys like Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone and Kevin Johnson instead of the likes of Deontay Wilder and Kubrat Pulev.

If Fury’s idea is that Wladimir has been avoiding dangerous heavyweights, then what does that say about Fury that he’s fighting guys like Rogan, Maddalone and Johnson? Wilder and Pulev would love to get their hands on Fury so that they could smash his fragile chin, but he’s not fighting them for some reason.

Hennessey: Fury wants to face Haye in the summer in a stadium fight

by

fury11`1By Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessey, the promoter for unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s), says Fury is interested in facing former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) in a stadium fight in the summer. Haye is being talked about returning to the ring on July 6th in the UK against a still to be determined opponent and venue.

Hennessey said to the telegraph.co.uk “He [Fury] is interested in that fight with Haye, definitely, and it could be done at a stadium this summer as long as the date is right.”

Wow, it looks like Hennessey is willing to cash out with the Haye fight instead of working Fury to a title shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko by facing #1 IBF Kubrat Pulev in a final eliminator bout to get that shot.

Fury: I’ll put Cunningham down after a couple of good shots

by

fury-cunningham.poster.220wBy Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten trash talking heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is suddenly talking like he’s become a knockout artist rather than the 6’9” light hitting slapper that many boxing fans know him as. Fury, 24, faces fringe contender Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) next month on April 20th at Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA.

Fury sees himself winning by an easy KO as soon as he traps Cunningham and forces him to fight. Fury is expecting that Cunningham will run from him like he did against Tomasz Adamek last December in Cunningham’s controversial loss.

Fury said to Fightnews.com “He [Cunningham] will run, I’m sure of it, but as soon as I get hold of him and hit him with a couple of good shots, he’ll be on the floor…I will definitely become the first man to stop him.”

I don’t see how Fury will be able to stop Cunningham without power. I mean, I rate cruiserweights Yoan Pablo Hernandez, Wayne Braithwaite, Marco Huck and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk as being much bigger punchers than Fury, and yet Cunningham had no problem taking their power.

Wilder to Fury: You’re the biggest joke in the game

by

wilder52By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten 6’9” British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) and 6’7” American talent Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) went at it when Fury went after Wilder out of the blue on his social media site causing the 27-year-old Wilder to fire back with a brief salvo of his views on Fury. It seems that Wilder’s response shut Fury’s yap because he didn’t respond after that.

Fury: “Bronze Bomber [Wilder] say it all Bronze Bomber 3[rd] place loser who fights bums. Man, you’re a laughing stock. You even use the 3[rd] place in your name.”

Wilder: “Tyson Fury, you’re the biggest joke in the game. It started when you upper-cut yourself. You’re the queen of all B*****. I would fight him [Kevin Johnson]. I’ve sparred Kevin many times. The thing is would he take it?”

Fury to have egg in his face if he loses to Cunningham

by

fury1q(Photo Credits: Wojtek Kubik Photography) By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is perhaps the biggest trash talker in the heavyweight division right now, having taken over that title from the inactive David Haye. Despite all the trash talking that the light hitting 6’9” Fury does, he still hasn’t faced any quality heavyweights during his career for some reason.

On April 20th, Fury will be fighting a much smaller heavyweight in fringe contender Steve Cunningham (25-5, 12 KO’s) Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA. Instead of being a good visitor to the U.S, Fury decided to trash talk Cunningham something fierce in their press conference yesterday, saying “You’re a small man, you’re chinny, you’re getting knocked out. You’ve been put down in early every fight you’ve had.”
