Tyson Fury: boxer, showman, gypsy

To date, given the unconditional hegemony in the heavyweight champion of Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, it's hard to even imagine who will still be able to compete with him and try to take away all the titles from him. Experts are inclined to believe that such boxers, of course, are, although they are very few. One of these contenders for the crown of the ruler of the division is Tyson Fury.

The last hope of Britain

The giant from the British kingdom was born on August 12, 1988 in the small town of Wilmslow. Tyson Fury is the son of the former professional boxer John Fury, who once had 13 fights in the professional tournament, nothing special while not noticing. By the way, an amazing fact from the biography of Tyson: he was born 7 weeks before the due date.

Performances in boxing ring in amateurs

Tyson Fury spent in the amateur arena not so many fights. The total number of his fights is 35, in 31 of which he was able to win (26 wins by knockout). During the performances as an amateur athlete participated in a variety of international tournaments, speaking for both England and Ireland.

The most insulting defeat for the boxer was a fiasco in a fight with David Price. In this fight, Fury lost outright, losing 14 points on the battlefield. Tyson himself explained this insulting loss with his own little experience.

In 2006, the young Briton became the bronze medalist at the youth world championships, losing a step from the finals to Sardor Abdulayev.

2007 was marked by the winning of gold at the European Championships among young men. At the end of this tournament, Tyson Fury begins boxing in the adult category.

In 2008, a giant from the county of Cheshire was a contender for a place in the England Olympic team, but lost to Price. Then Fury tried to take a place in the national team of Ireland or Wales, but there he was disappointed - all the candidates were already approved.

Way in the Professionals

Biography Tyson Fury as a professional boxer begins in late 2008. His first fight was against Bela Diengesi from Hungary, who was knocked out in the first three minutes.

The second battle in the profile was also a success for the British. January, 2009. Fury comes out to fight with the most experienced German Marcel Zeller, who at that time had 20 wins by knockout in 24 fights. But Tyson fully justifies the given name at birth and defeats his opponent ahead of time.

After several fights, the young prospectus goes to battle with John McDermott for the title of champion of England. In a persistent battle, Fury wins on points, and on June 25, 2010 holds a rematch and again wins. This time by knockout.

One of the most important fights in the career of Fury can be considered his fight with Derek Chisora, which took place in July 2011. And although the victory was on points, but it was she who allowed the boxing fans to talk about a new real candidate for the world title.

Weak sides

Everybody understands how dangerous the boxing is. Tyson Fury does not seem to attach too much importance to the threat that may come from his opponents. Most likely, it is this that can explain his extremely leaky defense. In addition, as shown by the battles with Nikolai Firtha and Neven Pazhk, the Briton also has a chin that is not very strong in nature. After all, both of these opponents are not pronounced panchers, but even they managed to shake Fury.

Confrontation with the tyrant

The fight "Wladimir Klitschko - Tyson Fury" is undoubtedly the most anticipated match of 2015. Initially, the meeting of these two titans in the ring was planned for October 24, but due to the fact that the Ukrainian champion was injured, the fight was postponed to November 28.

The overwhelming number of sports analysts, boxers, fans agree that Vladimir will still be able to defend his belts. But, as the acting champion himself said, this fight will be one of the most difficult in his career, and he very responsibly approaches the issue of his pre-match preparation.

Separate attention deserves and the shock of the British. A striking proof of this can be his trick when he came to Batman's costume at the press conference of the fight "Wladimir Klitschko-Tyson Fury" and arranged a brawl with a front-line actor in the costume of a villain.

Family status

The British contender for the crown of the superheavy weight ruler is married and has two children.
