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 dominates Johnson, but shows little power

The judges gave Fury the win by these wide scores: 119-110, 119-108 and 119-108.

Fury, 24, looked weak as heck and vulnerable on the rare occasions that Johnson would actually throw a punch. Luckily for Fury, Johnson didn’t throw many punches, as he just looked like an older fighter that didn’t have the ability to pull the trigger anymore. Johnson looked like a shell of his former self from the fighter that was beaten by WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko back in 2009.

Fury’s promoter: Vitali Klitschko is interested in facing Fury next

Image: Fury's promoter: Vitali Klitschko is interested in facing Fury nextBy Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessy, the promoter for undefeated #3 WBC heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s), says that WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko wants to fight Fury next, but Hennessy isn’t sure if he’ll match Fury up with him or his brother Wladimir Klitschko. This is all so interesting.

I mean, Fury hasn’t even beaten his opponent for tonight Kevin Johnson (28-2-1, 13 KO’s) and here his promoter Hennessy is already setting up Fury’s next fight. I can see this exploding in Fury and Hennessy’s face.

Hennessy said to fightnews.com “I have spoken to Vitali’s people and they are very open to doing a fight with Tyson but there is also the option of fighting Wladimir and Tyson is up for fighting any of the brothers.”

Fury vs. Johnson tonight: Kevin’s going to end Tyson’s Klitschko dream

by

Image: Fury vs. Johnson tonight: Kevin's going to end Tyson's Klitschko dreamBy Scott Gilfoid: Tonight heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) will have to prove for the first time in his career that he’s got the talent to actually beat someone that can fight instead of the soft opposition that’s been put in the ring with him so that he pad his resume.

Fury, 24, will be facing easily the toughest opponent of his career tonight against American Kevin Johnson (28-2-1, 13 KO’s) Odyssey Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. This is the fight where Fury is going to have to prove that he’s as good as he says he is and I suspect he’s going to be found out to be an imposter by Johnson.

Price defeated Matt Skelton (28-7, 23 KO’s) tonight by a 2nd round TKO in Liverpool, England. Maloney wants to match Price up in February against an American heavyweight contender rumored to be 41-year-old Tony Thompson. Following that fight, Maloney wants to match Price against either Derek Chisora or Tyson Fury, depending on which fighter he can get to agree to face Price.

Fury weighed in at 248 pounds, and that’s in the general area that the 24-year-old Fury has been in for his last two fights.

Fury’s been on a health kick lately and he’s dropped a lot of the flab that he previously had stored around his waist.

Jeff Mayweather: I don’t see much in Tyson Fury; he’s uncoordinated

Image: Jeff Mayweather: I don't see much in Tyson Fury; he's uncoordinatedBy Scott Gilfoid: Jeff Mayweather, the trainer for Kevin Johnson (28-2-1, 13 KO’s), isn’t at all impressed with what he’s seen of unbeaten 6’9″ heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s), and he doesn’t see what the fuss is about him. Mayweather thinks Fury is just uncoordinated heavyweight who wins on size alone, but who doesn’t have the skills to beat Johnson or the Klitschko brothers.

Mayweather had never seen Fury before until his fighter Johnson was selected to replace Denis Boytsov as the opponent to fight Fury, and he’s really disappointed in Fury’s ability.

Price: I want Tyson Fury in July next year

Image: Price: I want Tyson Fury in July next yearBy Scott Gilfoid: British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion David Price (14-0, 12 KO’s) would like nothing better than to get a shot at facing the trash talking Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) next year in July if Fury is up for making the fight with him. Price will be fighting against Matt Skelton (28-6, 23 KO’s) tomorrow night Liverpool, England, and after Price dispatches Skelton, he’d like to fight Dereck Chisora next in early 2013.

Price said to the liverpoolecho.co.uk “It [Fury vs. Price] could genuinely happen, maybe in July next year.”

Fury: Kevin Johnson’s a stepping stone for me; he’s a journeyman

Image: Fury: Kevin Johnson's a stepping stone for me; he's a journeymanBy Scott Gilfoid: Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) doesn’t think much of his opponent Kevin Johnson (28-2-1, 13 KO’s), who Fury will be fighting on Saturday night at the Odyssey Arena, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Despite Johnson having previously faced WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in a title challenge in 2009, Fury sees Johnson as little more than a journeyman level fighter for him and a stepping stone to get to the next level.

Fury said this in his recent telephone conference call: “Kevin Johnson talks about knocking people out, but he has only 13 knockouts in 30 fights. So unless I’m delusional or he is, if he does come hard and tries to get me like he says he is going to have an early out by the fists of Fury. He’s not a man of his word, he can’t come and fight Tyson Fury because it’s an early Christmas present if he does. He’s a stepping stone.

Johnson: Fury is a feeble-handed guy

Johnson, 33, doesn’t see Fury as being in his class and he seems him as a weak puncher without the track record to beat him.

Johnson said in their telephone conference call “So my ‘A’ game will really kill this dude…This [Fury] is the most doofiest I’ve met in boxing. This is the most feeble-handed guy I’ve ever seen in boxing history…When the bell rings I’m going to go and get him.”

Hennessy says he’s already spoken to Wladimir’s manager Bernd Boete about this, so it’s pretty much a done deal if Fury can get past Kevin Johnson this Saturday night in their fight in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Hennessy told the Mirror.co.uk “The fight with Wladimir will be a stadium fight and we would be looking to do it in May, June or July. Germany would be the favorite place for it to happen.”
