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.

Deontay willing to fight Tyson Fury in the UK

by

WilderFirthaPC_HoganphotosBy Scott Gilfoid: American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (29-0, 29 KO’s) sees a fight between himself and Britain’s Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) as being inevitable in the future, and he’s willing to come to the UK to make the fight happen. Deontay expects to capture one of the world title belts in early 2014 against one of the Klitschko brothers. Once Deontay has one of the heavyweight world straps, he expects the fight against the 6’9″ Tyson Fury to take place.

However, a fight between Deontay and Fury would likely have to be an optional title defense for Deontay because Fury will almost surely lose by knockout to former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye next February in their scheduled fight, if it takes place at that time.

Lewis: I’d probably KO Fury in one round

by

lewis323By Scott Gilfoid: 48-year-old Lennox Lewis was amused to see British heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) calling him out yesterday for a fight. Lewis thinks that Fury hasn’t done enough to be calling him out at this point in his career given the weak opposition that Fury’s been facing thus far. Additionally, Lewis thinks he’d still likely KO Fury in one round if he did decide to fight him.

Lewis said to the Telegraph “Why would you want me right now? I’m an old man and you know what, even if I did put on my gloves right now, I’d probably knock him out inside a round.”

Fury says Haye was having problems with sparring partners

by

deontay5465By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) has his own theory for why former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) pulled out of their previously scheduled fight for last month due to a cut over his left eye. Fury thinks the cut wasn’t a legit one, and that he heard that Haye was getting beaten up by his sparring partners in training camp.

As fans already know one of the sparring partners was the huge punching Deontay Wilder. We saw some of the video of the sparring sessions between Deontay and Haye, but it looked like the video had been edited to include mainly the high points of the Wilder-Haye sparring sessions and not where Deontay will likely giving Haye the business.

David Price wants Deontay Wilder or Haye-Fury winner

by

price34By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like British heavyweight David Price (15-2, 13 KO’s) still hasn’t learned his lesson after getting his backside royally beaten in back to back fights against American Tony Thompson this year.

The 6’8” Price is now saying he’d take a fight against unbeaten Deontay Wilder in a heartbeat. Price also says he wouldn’t mind fighting the winner of the February 8th fight between David Haye and Tyson Fury.

Price told Sky Sports “In a heartbeat, I’d fight Deontay Wilder. I know he’s a ferocious puncher, but so am I. I’m a big puncher, and I’d definitely fight Deontay Wilder.”

Tyson Fury bellyaching about the training he has to do for Haye bout

by

fury555By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) is all wound up about how he has to start his training all over again for his rescheduled fight against David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) on February 8th at the Manchester Arena, in the UK.

They were supposed to be fighting this Saturday night, but because of the cut that Haye suffered in sparring, the fight had to be delayed 4 ½ months.

Instead of being happy that he’s still in line for a nice payday that will give 5 million pounds, Fury is whimpering over the fact that he’ll need to restart his training all over again.

Fury could take fight in November before Haye bout

by

fury565By Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessy, the promoter for heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s), is looking to get a tune-up fight for Fury in November to keep him sharp for his November 8th clash against David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s). Fury and Hennessy don’t like the idea of sitting idle for another 4 ½ months while they wait for Haye’s cut to heal.

They want to get back in the ring as soon as possible, and they want to make sure the fight is far enough away from the Haye fight not to put it in jeopardy should Fury suffer an injury in his tune-up.

Peter Fury worried Haye will cancel February 8th fight to face Povetkin

by

haye125By Scott Gilfoid: Peter Fury, the trainer for Tyson Fury (21-0. 15 KO’s), has his doubts about whether David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) will stick to their new fight date on February 8th in Manchester.

Peter thinks that if WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin is able to pull off an upset of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next month in their fight on October 5th, Haye will then pull out of the Fury fight and instead face Povetkin next.

Peter told the Daily Mail “If Povetkin does get the upset then we won’t be holding our breath about our fight with Haye happening on February 8. We know how they operate because they came to talk to us while they were preparing for a fight with Manuel Charr…But if they can get Povetkin that will be even bigger money, plus there will be the world title on the line against a smaller opponent.”

Haye vs. Fury rescheduled for February 8th in Manchester

by

fury2By Scott Gilfoid: For boxing fans that are eager to see the David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) vs. Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) fight, they’re going to have to wait 4 ½ months before they can see, as Haye is reporting that the fight has been scheduled for February 8th at the Manchester Arena in the UK.

That will give Haye’s deep cut over his left eye a sufficient time for it to heal.

It’s a heck of a long time for boxing fans to wait, because it’s already been months since their now postponed September 28th fight was signed. Haye and Fury could end up investing a year of their careers’ for this one fight. I mean, both of them are set to make a ton of good cash with them making 5 million pounds each, but what a huge waste to have so much time lost.

Haye says he’s close to rescheduling Fury fight

by

By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) is saying that he is close to having his bout with Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) rescheduled. Haye’s not giving the details for when they plan on fighting, but there are rumors that it’ll likely take place early I 2014.

Hennessey wanted Deontay Wilder for Tyson Fury on September 28th?

by

wilder7By Scott Gilfoid: According to Hennessey Sports’ website, they looked at possibility of having American talent Deontay Wilder (29-0, 29 KO’s) step in and replace the injured David Haye against Hennessy-promoted heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) on September 28th. Unfortunately, they gave up on the idea for some reason.

Here’s the statement from Hennessey Sports’ website: “He [Fury] has done everything in his power to keep this date alive for his fans, even agreeing to fight Deontay Wilder on the 28th [if Team Wilder agreed], but this fight at short notice was obviously not considered to be box office.”
