Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury Agree to Two Fights Anthony Joshua & Tyson Fury agree to two fights British World Heavyweight Champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed to a two-fight deal, says promoter Eddie Hearn. Talks over an historic bout for the undisputed title began in early May and have been finalised today. Joshua, 30, holds the WBA, IBF and WBO belts while 31-year-old Fury is the WBC champion. The winner would bring all the belts together which is called “Unifying the division” for the first time since Britain’s Lennox Lewis in 1999. The successful athlete would become the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion and hold all 4 belts at the same time. "It's fair to say that Joshua and Fury are in agreement about the financial terms of the fight" Hearn, who is Joshua's promoter, told Sky Sports News. The actual amounts have not been disclosed but the total amount of money for the fight is thought to be around £150 million which would be split 50/50 for the first fight and then 60/40 in favour of the winner of the second fight. Fury expressed his delight at the news in a social media post. The Manchester- born boxer said he would fight Joshua in 2021, but would first have to overcome the "hurdle in the road" Deontay Wilder, in a third meeting. Fury is contracted to fight the American, who he beat to win the WBC title in February. Joshua, who reclaimed his world titles in December, has to face his mandatory challenger, Bulgaria's Kubrat Pulev, when the sport fully resumes after the coronavirus shutdown. After these two fights have taken place the two will be free to face each other as long as there have been no surprises and they both still have their belts. The odds have changed repeatedly but the current odds show that 61% of bookmakers have Fury as the favourite. Adverts have billed the fight as “The Biggest fight in British boxing history”.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • Fury's Comeback Falls Just Short in Los Angeles
    PRESENTS FURY’S COMEBACK FALLS JUST SHORT IN LOS ANGELES GOBSMACKED! By William Dettloff yson Fury made but two mistakes Saturday night against Deontay Wilder, and those mistakes – along with an indefensible scorecard turned in by Alejandro TRochin – resulted in a mostly derided draw ver- dict in front of a purported 17,698 at The Sta- ples Center in Los Angeles. Fury – he of the nearly three-year layoff, manic depression, confessed drug and alcohol binges and morbid obesity – boxed Wilder ragged for the majority of the fight, displaying a quickness, dexterity and nimbleness of foot that belied his 6’9”, 256-pound frame. He consistently ducked, rolled with or slipped under Wilder’s attacks, which admittedly were crude at best, and feinted Wilder into knots before stepping forward with short, crisp combinations. “I’m what you call a pro athlete that loves to box,” Fury said afterward. “I don’t know anyone on the planet that can move like that. That man is a fearsome puncher and I was able to avoid that. The world knows I won the fight,” he said. Such was Fury’s early dominance that there was perhaps one round out of the first six that the clear-eyed and uncor- rupted could reasonably give to Wilder. Rochin gifted him the first four, which at the end contributed to an inexplica- ble 115-111 card. Judges Robert Tapper and Phil Edwards scored it a more reasonable 114-112 for Fury and 113-113, respectively. RINGSIDE SEAT saw Fury the winner by a 115-111 margin.

  • Deontay Wilder Vs. Tyson Fury Ii Is As Big As It Gets
    DEONTAY WILDER VS. TYSON FURY II IS AS BIG AS IT GETS LAS VEGAS (February 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history. Literally. Standing 6’7″ and 6’9″ respectively, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bout “taller,” so to speak, took place in 2007, when the 7- foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today. To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 pounds, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fury, meanwhile, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight. These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6″ and weighs around 250 pounds. As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be.

  • Hughie Fury Signs with Matchroom Boxing
    HUGHIE FURY SIGNS WITH MATCHROOM BOXING Manchester Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury has signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, with his next fight will be announced at a press conference next week. The hugely gifted Manchester star has long shown himself to be one of the finest technical talents the UK has produced, and now the 24-year-old is ready to mount a third assault towards a Heavyweight World title. The only defeats on Fury’s 25 fight slate came at World level – a majority 12 round decision in a close and controversial WBO World title challenge to New Zealand’s Joseph Parker in 2017, then a gallant and gory 12 round points loss to Kubrat Pulev in last October’s IBF Final Eliminatory in Sofia. “I’m over the moon to be signing promotionally with Eddie and joining a stable as strong as Matchroom,” said Fury. “I feel with Matchroom’s backing I can kick on now and really fulfil my potential. Watch this space because it’ll be exciting times over the next couple of years.” Father and trainer Peter Fury added: “This is fantastic news for Hughie. People forget he’s still only 24 years old – a baby for a Heavyweight. Signing with Matchroom gives him to perfect platform to achieve his goal of rising to the top of the heavyweight division and I have complete confidence in him doing just that.” “I’m delighted to welcome Hughie Fury to the Matchroom Boxing team,” said Promoter Eddie Hearn. “At such a young age Hughie has been fearless taking on the World’s contenders, facing Joseph Parker for the World title at just 23 and recently travelling to Bulgaria to take on Kubrat Pulev on his back yard.

While steps will be taken to keep Tyson Fury away from Jessica Ennis-Hill, it may also be wise to put Greg Rutherford at the opposite end of the room to the recently crowned heavyweight champion of the world. It was Fury’s sexist comments about Ennis-Hill, combined with his forthright views aligning homosexuality and pedophilia, that riled Rutherford enough for the Olympic long jump champion to withdraw from the SPOTY 2015 running before changing his mind. Joining the chorus of condemnation for Fury are Northern Ireland’s largest gay rights group the Rainbow Project, who this week labeled his comments as ‘extremely callous’ and ‘erroneous’. In response to Fury’s insistence that a woman’s place is ‘in the kitchen or on her back’, feminist group Fight4Equality has blasted the self-titled Gypsy King’s ‘neanderthal worldview’ insisting Fury ‘should not be feted as a role model for young people.’ Both groups will be joined by other LGBT campaigners outside Belfast’s SSE Arena on Sunday evening to picket the BBC, angry that the show will go on despite vocal public opposition to Fury’s involvement.

    Media Workout: Tyson Fury & Otto Wallin Kick off Mexican Independence Day Weekend Card in Style LAS VEGAS (Sept. 10, 2019) —Tyson Fury sure knows how to dress for the occasion. Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion, entered Tuesday’s media workout in a traditional lucha libre wrestling mask.
