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.

  • American Heavyweight Star Eddie Chambers Joins Team Fury Promotions
    AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT STAR EDDIE CHAMBERS JOINS TEAM FURY PROMOTIONS MANCHESTER (Jan. 14) – American heavyweight hitman Eddie Chambers has joined Team Fury Promotions and will be trained by the renowned Peter Fury. The Philadelphian bruiser turned professional in 2000 at just 18 and has amassed a record of 40 fights with 36 wins and only four defeats. At 31 he has been in with some of the leading names in the heavyweight division including IBF, WBA and WBO world champion Wladimir Klitschko, as well as going the distance with Alexander Povetkin and Tomasz Adamek. He now joins the stable of rising heavyweight sensations Tyson Fury and Hughie Fury, who have made huge strides in recent times under the tutelage of Peter Fury. After falling just short of world title glory, Chambers, a former cruiserweight, is now aiming to go one step further by capturing such honour at heavyweight with Team Fury. Eddie Chambers, said: “I am happy to be part of Team Fury Promotions. Being with Peter Fury and part of Team Fury is going to take me to the level Peter knows I’m capable of. They have the right resources and boxing knowledge that I feel has been missing in my career so far. I’ve had some great trainers in the past, however, I think with Peter’s great knowledge in the ring and also his business knowledge out of the ring, it gives me the confidence and inspiration I need to believe us as a team can do big things. I can’t wait to fight in the UK for all the boxing fans there.

    prezentuje 2009 BOXING NIGHT Walka wieczoru: Andrzej Tomasz vs GOŁOTA ADAMEK 2009 prezentuje BOXING NIGHT 2009 PORTFEL.PL wspiera najlepszych BOXING NIGHT „Polska walka stulecia” – do takiej właśnie rangi urósł pojedynek między ikoną polskiego boksu zawodowego, Andrzejem „Andrew” Gołotą, a aktualnym Mistrzem Świata Federacji IBF, Tomaszem „Góralem” SPONSORGALI BOKSU Adamkiem. Gołota to nazwisko legendarne i doskonale znane nie tylko w naszym kraju, ale również – i przede wszystkim – w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Jego największe zawodowe sukcesy przy- padły na lata 90-te i mimo późniejszych zawirowań w karierze, na trwałe ugruntowały się w świadomości wytrawnych kibiców boksu. Adamek to niesłychanie ambitny i obecnie najlepiej zapowiadający się polski pięściarz, walczący na ringach prezentuje międzynarodowych, który mimo iż po raz pierwszy próbuje swoich sił w wadze ciężkiej, to ma już na swoim koncie zwycię- stwa nad zawodnikami tejże kategorii. Walka dwóch tak doskonałych zawo- dowców nie zdarza się często w historii boksu. Jest ona tym bardziej wyjątkowa, że dotyczy dwóch rodowitych polskich pięściarzy, którzy kroczyli podob- ną ścieżką kariery, trenowali z tymi samymi opiekunami i niejednokrot- nie wspierali się wzajemnie, gdyż jak dotąd walczyli pod wspólną narodową barwą. Podczas takiego wydarzenia nie mo- gło zabraknąć firmy PORTFEL.PL, która od samego początku swego istnienia stara się czynnie wspierać czołowych polskich zawodników. Jej główną misją jest wyjaśnianie i przybliżanie zagadnień biznesowych w poszczegól- nych dziedzinach gospodarki. Wydawać by się mogło, że biznes może mieć niewiele wspólnego z ciężkim sportem, jakim jest boks. Nic bar- dziej mylnego. Zarówno w boksie jak i w interesach należy mieć twardą głowę. Przyglądając się maklerom giełdowym, którzy niezwykle zwinnie poruszają się po giełdzie i codziennie toczą boje o grube pieniądze można przywołać na myśl pięściarzy zmagających się w ringu.

  • Nowy Jork Stanowi Drugi, Po Chicago, Główny Ośrodek Wydawniczy Prasy
    MICHAŁ KACZMARCZYK New strategy of “Nowy Dziennik” KEY WORDS Polish community press, emigration, local matters in the media, management of editorial office, Polish community abroad, Poles in New York ABSTRACT “Nowy Dziennik” is the largest Polish community journal on the East coast of the United States. The daily, first published in 1971, has been noting a systematic drop in sales, which, among other things, is related to Poland’s accession into EU, changes in the direction of Poles’ emigration, and, in consequence, a reduced number of Polish citizens arriving and permanently residing in the territory of the US. This article attempts to characterize the strategies underlying the changes introduced to “Nowy Dziennik” by the new Management Board of Bicentennial Publishing, the publisher, appointed in 2008. These changes (such as a shift towards local matters, refreshed brand image on the Internet, reinforcement of the role of the daily as an organiser) are intended to stabilise the market position of the newspaper and enable it to sustain its position as one of key Polish community public institutions in the USA. New York is the second largest, after Chicago, Polish press publishing centre in the US. In the city, there are several dozen various Polish community organizations and a dozen or so Polish parishes, most of them printing their own periodicals1. The largest papers, with most universal (general) profile and most professional in character are “Kurier Plus” and “Nowy Dziennik” (“ND”). In the nearby New Jersey, published is “2Tygodnik Polonijny”, distributed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. “Kurier Polski” is edited in Greenpoint, the largest Polish neighborhood on the East coast.

    "BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER" DECEMBER 22nd NBC BROADCAST - SANDS CASINO RESORT BETHLEHEM ADAMEK VS. CUNNINGHAM HAMER VS. GLAZKOV Hamer, Adamek, Cunningham and Glazkov Photo Credits to Rich Graessle PHOTOS AND QUOTES FROM FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE FOR DECEMBER 22nd ADAMEK - CUNNINGHAM BETHLEHEM, PA - The participants of Saturday's big NBC broadcast TV boxing show met for the event's final press conference today in Bethlehem, PA. The conference was hosted by promoter Kathy Duva, CEO Main Events, and included the fighters and teams involved in the heavyweight double header. In the 12-round main event, Tomasz Adamek, 47-2, 29 KOs, faces Steve Cunningham, 25-4, 12 KOs, in a highly anticipated rematch of their classic first encounter in 2008. Adamek won that fight by close split decision. In the 8-round co-feature, Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov, 13-0, 9 KOs, takes on Tor Hamer, 19-1, 12 KOs, in a battle of rising prospects. KATHY DUVA (CEO, Main Events): "Welcome everyone to "Bigger, Better, Stronger" at the Sands Hotel and Casino, here in beautiful Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. And what better place to be than Bethlehem over Christmas weekend. There are two heavyweight fights on this card, and they'll both tremendous. We've seen one of them before, so we know what to expect, and the other one is going to be a nice little Christmas surprise I think. I know that everyone up here is determined, they're heavyweights, they're bound to throw punches, and when you have a combination like that and as much at stake as we have here, you get fireworks.

  • Michael Grant, Stand In, Vs. Tomasz Adamek at Newark's Prudential
    Michael Grant, Stand In, Vs. Tomasz Adamek at Newark’s Prudential Center A one-time Next Big Thing in professional boxing, Michael Grant has been to the top of the hill, but only to look. His stay wasn’t long, and he did not descend as its king. Instead, like Jack in the nursery rhyme, he tumbled down—repeatedly— at the point of Lennox Lewis’ right hand. Canvassed three times in the first round, he failed to rise by the count of 10 in the second. That championship bout, all two rounds of it, took place in April, 2000. In fights to follow, Grant (46-3, 34 KOs) was knocked down and out by both Jameel McCline and the once promising Dominic Guinn. At 6’ 7” Michael Grant has a long way to fall. Against McCline he broke his ankle on the way down (first round, very first punch). Against Guinn he was knocked down four times in 7 rounds, the last from a clean left hook that landed Grant almost motionless in a big hulking mass on the floor. He tasted canvas nine times in a total of 10 rounds in these three losses. He is now 37 years old. A gifted athlete, Grant played football prior to boxing. But football is not boxing. And given the helmets, a propensity to fall when punched in the head does not pose a particular hindrance to a football player. For a boxer, it is fatal. Michael Anthony Grant has an Achilles Chin. Training can’t change that. But power and hope are the last things to go on a heavyweight, and there is no reason to believe that he does not have a puncher’s chance.

  • Tomasz Adamek
    TOMASZ ADAMEK Undefeated World Boxing Council Light Heavyweight Champion Born on Dec. 1, 1976, in Zywiec, Poland, now residing in Bielsko Biala, Poland Height: 6’ 1 ½” Weight: Light Heavyweight (175) Record: 30-0, 21 KOs Tomasz grew up in Gilowice, a small village of 5,000 surrounded by mountains in southern Poland. He began to box at age 12 when, without telling his mom about it, a friend took him to a boxing gym. The young Tomasz, very talented and fast, was soon in the ring with grown men. Tomasz had the same trainer in Poland, Andrzei Gimitruk, who coached heavyweight Andrew Golota to a bronze medal in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. At age 19, Tomasz became one of the three youngest boxers to win the Polish National Championship in 1995. He won the title again in 1996. In 1998, he won the bronze medal in the European Championships. As an amateur, he compiled a 108-12 record. Just prior to being named to the 2000 Polish Olympic Team, where he was a medal favorite in Sydney, Tomasz signed a professional contract. Tomasz made his pro debut on March 13, 1999, and won by first-round technical knockout. He then went on to win his next eight bouts by TKO. On March 2, 2001, in Warsaw, Poland, Adamek won the International Boxing Council intercontinental light heavyweight championship with a unanimous decision win over Rudi Lupo.
