By Nate Anderson: Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (8-0, 7 KO’s) put in a disappointing performance last night in defeating big John McDermott (25-6, 16 KO’s) by a 10-round decision to capture the English heavyweight title at the Brent Leisure Centre, in Essex. Referee/judge Terry O’Conner scored the bout 98-92, giving Fury the decision by six huge points. I couldn’t understand the score because it looked to me that McDermott had done enough to win the fight by one, maybe two rounds.
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.
