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 and Johnson will be fighting at the Odyssey Arena, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

Fury said to the BBC Sport “Johnson is just the kind of opponent that I want at this stage of my career. We needed a world class fighter and we have got one and when I take him apart the world will sit up and take notice.”

Fury vs. Johnson on December 1st in Belfast

by

Image: Fury vs. Johnson on December 1st in BelfastBy Steven Ocallaghan: After the pointless heavyweight title defences from the brothers Klitschko, it’s good to see an up and comer facing a decent and capable fighter heavyweight Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) is taking on former world title challenger Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (28-2-1, 13 KO’s) on December the first in Belfast, which with a win should put him in the frame for a title shot by next summer.

After four consecutive stoppages the 6’9″ Fury is taking on a tough fighter in Johnson. It’s good to see two decent fighters face off considering all the hype surrounding unbeaten heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s).

Tyson Fury: Kingpin strikes a deal

Image: Tyson Fury: Kingpin strikes a dealBy Jack Tarpey: Promoter Mick Hennessy has somehow pulled another rabbit out of the hat for unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury’s next fight, after the colossal disappointment of Denis Boystov pulling out of their scheduled December contest, things were certainly looking bleak for Fury with under a month to go and no opponent named.

Thankfully earlier today the announcement was made that team Fury has bagged Kevin Kingpin Johnson for their next battle, Kingpin managed to take WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko the full 12 rounds back in 2009 and on paper is certainly Tyson’s toughest test so far. What makes this more interesting is not only are both fighters big men but both also like to talk big as well, so no doubt the build to this event should provide a few laughs and hopefully plenty of action.

Maloney: Price and Fury stand a chance against Wladimir

Image: Maloney: Price and Fury stand a chance against WladimirBy Scott Gilfoid: British promoter Frank Maloney wasn’t all that impressed with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s performance in beating Mariusz Wach (27-1, 15 KO’s) last night in Wladimir’s near shutout perfect 12 round unanimous decision in Hamburg, Germany. It’s unclear what Maloney was looking for other than a KO victory for Wladimir because the big 6’6″ Ukrainian did all you could ask for in giving a royal beating to the lumbering 6’7 1/2″ Wach.

Maloney said to espn “I think on what we have watched tonight, both of them [David Price and Tyson Fury] stand a chance of beating a Klitschko. After two fights he [Price] would be ready. When Pricey hits someone he wants to finish them. I believe David Price can beat any heavyweight.”

David Price and Tyson Fury still not ready for Wladimir

Image: David Price and Tyson Fury still not ready for WladimirBy Scott Gilfoid: After watching IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (59-3, 50 KO’s) put on a systematic boxing clinic last Saturday night in defeating challenger Mariusz Wach (27-1, 15 KO’s) by one of the most lopsided 12 round decisions that you’re ever going to see, I think it would be very wise for British heavyweights David Price (14-0, 12 KO’s) and Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) to wait until Wladimir ages a lot more before either of them attempt to challenge him for his titles.

Those guys are simply too far behind Wladimir in the talent department and I don’t see either of them getting closer as they get older. Usually when you have a couple of young heavyweights and an older heavyweight like 36-year-old Wladimir, you can see the younger guys gaining a little. But in this case Wladimir seems to be getting better still, whereas Fury and Price are pretty much staying in place and not showing the kind of talent needed to beat a guy like Wladimir.

Boytsov pulls out, who will Fury face now?

Image: Boytsov pulls out, who will Fury face now?By Alex Hedges: In disappointing news for heavyweight fight fans, Denis Boytsov 31(25)-0 has withdrawn from his scheduled WBC eliminator with Tyson Fury 19(14)-0. It’s a real shame as competitive heavyweight fights between young prospects are few and far between these days.

Interestingly, Boytsov becomes the second high profile heavyweight to have walked away from a showdown with the fast improving 6’9″ Fury, after Ruslan Chagaev turned down a potential showdown in favour of a fight against Cuban enigma Mike Perez. In both cases, Boytsov and Chagaev cited a lack of preparation as the reason.

Boytsov pulls out of Fury fight: Tyson gets a lucky break?

by

Image: Boytsov pulls out of Fury fight: Tyson gets a lucky break?By Scott Gilfoid: #3 WBC heavyweight contender Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KO’s) pulling out of his scheduled December 1st fight with Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) may have handed Fury a huge gift in a couple of ways. First off, Fury can now avoid what would have likely been a knockout loss against the tough Russian fighter with excellent boxing skills and superb power. Fury wasn’t going to win that fight, let’s face it.

Boytsov was the much more skilled fighter of the two and would have done a number on the slapping Fury. But something Fury also gets from Boytsov pulling out of the fight is that it’s going to give more than a few boxing fans the feeling that Boytsov chose not to take the fight because he’s afraid of fighting the 6’9″ Fury. That’s obviously not the case, but a lot of fans will believe that illusion anyway.

Fury to get Vitali fight if he beats Boytsov

Image: Fury to get Vitali fight if he beats BoytsovBy Scott Gilfoid: In a real scary scenario, unbeaten and unproven British heavyweight Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) is in a position to get a fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko if Fury beats Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KO’s) next month in their World Boxing Council heavyweight title eliminator bout on December 1st at the Odyssey Arena, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

What’s scary about this is how over-matched Fury would be if he were to be thrown in the ring with Vitali. I don’t care that Vitali is 41 now and fighting at roughly 80 percent of what he once was, he’ll still destroy Fury no problem if that fight happens next year. God, it would be one of those fights where boxing fans end up shaking your head afterwards wondering why on earth the fight was ever put together in the first place.

Fury said on his twitter “I am now switching my phone off till after the fight [with Boytsov] on December 1…I’ll win. I will win. I’m the best.”

Fury-Boytsov to be WBC heavyweight title eliminator

Image: Fury-Boytsov to be WBC heavyweight title eliminatorBy Scott Gilfoid: The December 1st clash between unbeaten Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s) and Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KO’s) will reportedly be a World Boxing Council heavyweight title eliminator with the winner of the fight becoming the mandatory challenger for WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

It sounds good, right? It might not be if Fury wins because I kind of doubt that he’ll agree to fight Vitali next year. It would be too much of a mismatch due to Fury’s lack of power, experience, talent and boxing skills. He’s too rough and needs A LOT of work on his nonexistent power before facing someone as good as Vitali.
