By William Mackay: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (5-0, 5 KOs) kept his perfect knockout record intact with a quick 1st round knockout over British journeyman Mathew Ellis (20-7, 9 KOs), knocking him out in 48 seconds of the 1st round. Ellis, 35, had fancied his chances against the 20-year-old Fury before the bout, saying that Fury was biting off more than he can chew by fighting him at this early point of his boxing career. However, the 6’7” Fury quickly proved him wrong by drilling Ellis with a big right hand in the opening seconds of the bout and planting him on the canvas.
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.

Ellis Believes He Can Beat Fury
By William Mackay: Undefeated heavyweight Tyson Fury (4-0, 4 KOs) finds himself facing a tough and experienced Mathew Ellis (20-6-1, 9 KOs) this Saturday night at the York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London. Ellis, 35, sees a lot of parallels between Fury and himself earlier in his boxing career when he was just starting out. Indeed, Ellis started off his career with a 17-1 record with 9 KOs after five years as a pro, but things went quickly downhill when he increased the level of competition in facing Denis Bakhtov who defeated Ellis by a 5th round TKO in 2002.

Fury Too Much For Swaby
