Fury-Klitschko

Tyson Fury removes shirt at press conference, looks fat

by

fury#1By Scott Gilfoid: At today’s press conference a very fat looking IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) removed his shirt at his press conference with former world champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) in Manchester, UK.

Fury’s midsection looked very, very fat like a non-athlete that has had a lot of couch time. Fury then proudly admitted that he came into his current training camp close to 60 pounds’ overweight. He said he was four stones overweight, which comes out to 56lbs. Fury says he’s taken on one stone [14lbs] already.

Tyson Fury needs to lose over 40lbs for Klitschko fight

by

fury67By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is reportedly three stones (42lbs) overweight as he prepares for his July 9th rematch against the hard hitting 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury is confident that he’ll be able to burn the blubber off his pear-shaped body by the time the fight takes place in 11 weeks from now, but he might not be able to do it without draining himself. 11 weeks is like Marine Corp boot camp for Fury, and that’s an awful lot of weight to take off.

Tyson Fury bragging about dealing with pressure

by

fury49By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) is bragging about how the pressure isn’t getting to him as he prepares for his rematch against 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury ballooned up in weight after his narrow and ugly to watch 12 round decision victory over Wladimir las November. Fury has been said to be over 40 pounds’ overweight as he started his training camp recently. The 27-year-old Fury has a little over two months to burn the blubber off of his frame so that he can make a good fight of it against Klitschko on 7/9.

It appears that Fury is following the same path as former UK star Ricky Hatton, who used to put on a lot of flab in between fights with his lifestyle. Hatton got away with his healthy lifestyle for a while, but it eventually caught up to him and he found himself no longer effective in the ring.

Fury bellyaching about training camp

by

fury888By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) officially stared his training camp for his July 9 fight against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Fury is already complaining long and hard about the pain involved in him having to do a lot of exercises to get ready for the fight.

Fury put on a lot of weight since his last fight against Wladimir last November, and he’s now having to burn off that blubber. In looking at some of Fury’s recent videos, I think he’s around 30 pounds’ overweight, maybe slightly more than that. Fury has only three months to burn the fat off before he’ll be facing Wladimir.

I think Fury will take the weight off, but he’ll probably be weak as heck for having put on and burned off the lard. I was going to predict a victory for Fury, but now with him being all fat and all. He has too much fat to take off and it’s going to turn his training camp into a fat farm rather than one where he’s working on the finer points of the art to get ready for Wladimir’s fighting style.

Fury doesn’t care if he loses to Wladimir

by

fury72By Scott Gilfoid: After making a bundle of cash in barely beating former heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko by a 12 round decision last November, Britain’s [or is it Ireland’s] Tyson Fury says he doesn’t care what happens with his career.

Fury says he doesn’t care if he loses his next 10 fights because he’s satisfied with his victory over the 40-year-old Klitschko from his win over him last November. Normally, I would think Fury isn’t on the level about him not carrying, but in looking at how fat and flabby he’s become, I think he honestly doesn’t seem to care.

Fury: I’m the only man that can beat Klitschko

by

fury56675By Allan Fox: After months of negotiations, IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and his team got their way in having former undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko agree to fight Fury on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. Fury will have hometown advantage against Wladimir, and he plans on using that advantage to defeat him for the second time. The 6’9” Fury already beaten Wladimir last year in winning a close 12 round decision in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Wladimir was unable take advantage of fighting in front of a large pro-Wladimir crowd of mostly German fans in Dusseldorf. Now it’s going to be Fury’s turn to fight in front of a large friendly crowd. Unlike Wladimir, Fury plans on using the crowd to his benefit by fighting hard and taking chances by throwing punches, something Wladimir failed to do last time due to him being too nervous/confused to let his hands go.

Tyson Fury promising to slug with Wladimir Klitschko in rematch

by

fury67By Jeff Aranow: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) and his team finally announced earlier on Wednesday the location and date for the rematch against the 40-year-old Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs). Fury will be facing the Ukrainian Klitschko on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury is quite pleased at getting the rematch in the UK, because the last time they faced each other, the fight took place in Dusseldorf, Germany, which was a home fight for Klitschko. Fury says he plans on fighting much differently in the rematch with Klitschko by choosing to stand and slug with him rather than getting on his bike like he’d done last November.

McKenna (McJack): Undefeated British hopeful Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) is a step closer towards getting his hoped for title shot against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (45-2, 41 KO’s) after defeating Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (28-3-1, 13 KO’s) Saturday night at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Fury used his long reach, and left jab to win by a lopsided margin. The ringside officials scored the contest 119-110, 119-108, 119-108 in Tyson’s favor.

Recognizing that he was in with the most experienced and talented fighter he had yet faced Fury stuck to his game plan of being cautious. Tyson also demonstrated that he is now serious about his boxing career by getting into the best shape of his career. There were no signs of any excess baggage around the 24 year old Fury’s middle, much to his trainers delight. It was a welcome change for the frequently out of shape 6’9” heavyweight contender.

Image: Fury vs. Klitschko will be a stadium fight in May, June or July, says HennessyBy Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessy, the promoter for unbeaten heavyweight contender Tyson Fury (19-0, 14 KO’s), says that Fury will be fighting IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in May or June next year. 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.”
