Fury Wants Chisora Stripped

2011-02-21T12:44:00.000-08:00

Tyson Fury wants British heavyweight titlist Dereck Chisora stripped by the BBBC. Chisora is fighting IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klistchko on April 30.

“I’ve been mandatory challenger for six or seven months and I just want to fight for the Britiosh title because this is holding up my career and he will drag it into next year. Chisora is fighting Klitschko for the world title but he’s not even the best fighter in this country….I’m not ready for Klitschko at the moment and neither is Chisora, who isn’t ready for it by a mile.”

Fury Trains With Wladimir Klitschko

2011-02-03T13:16:00.000-08:00

Getting ready for his February 19th fight against a TBA opponent he spent time training with his new trainer and current WBO, IBF, IBO, and Ring heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko at his training camp in Austria.

“It was a pleasure and a great honour spending time in camp with Wladimir Klitschko, it’s given me a great deal of confidence training alongside such a champion, he is definitely a fighter who is at the top of his game.”

“Wlad and his brother, Vitali are both modern day heavyweights who are not only very talented and athletic but also big heavyweights.”

“There has been all sorts of speculation flying around why David Haye isn’t fighting one of the Klitschko brothers, but in my honest opinion I believe it’s because David isn’t big enough to deal with the likes of Wladimir or Vitali.”

“But I’m going to change all that in the future, not only am I talented, athletic, have the determination and toughness but also I’ve I got youth on my side, plus I’m also bigger than the likes of the Klitschko brothers as you can see by the photo.”

“When i realise my dream and become unified heavyweight champion of the world I will avoid no one, I’m sure I will be a dominant heavyweight champion just like Lennox Lewis, only I will be representing the UK and Ireland.”

“I’m really looking forward to my next fight which is at the prestigious Wembley Arena on Saturday 19th February, this is going to be a big year for me, I’m going to give boxing the shot in the arm it needs.”

Kevin Johnson Interested In Fighting Fury

2011-02-03T13:04:00.000-08:00

Since the planed fight with Francois Botha fell through for February 19th and Tyson Fury is still looking for an opponent, American Kevin Johnson says he would step up to the plate. Kevin Johnson (24-1-1) is best known for his 12 round unanimous decision loss to current WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in 2009. Here's what the "Kingpin" had to say,

“Now that the BBBC has rejected Francois Botha as an opponent for you, I want to be the first to offer myself as an opponent for you. I’ve been hearing a lot of noise coming out of the UK about how tough you are how you are the future of boxing. So I say step up and prove yourself like a man. I can come to you on this short notice and we can get it on. Stop hiding behind your promoter and stop fighting those stiffs. Let’s see if you can earn yourself a title fight by beating the ‘Kingpin’ Kevin Johnson. I got my gloves, my trunks and my passport and I’m ready to travel. If you are scared, I understand. Just admit it and I’ll move on.”

Steward Thinks Fury Will Be The Next Great Heavyweight

2011-02-03T12:55:00.000-08:00

Famous boxing trainer Emanuel Steward who now trains Tyson Fury gave Fury some high praises lately. Steward said,

“Tyson Fury will be the next superstar dominant heavyweight much along the lines as Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. The way that he’s progressing now, I believe he can maybe be the complete package in the heavyweight division because of his talent. I think he can be a tremendous shot in the arm for the heavyweight division in the future.”

He did show noticeable improvements against his last opponent Zach Page, and at only 22 years old has alot of room for development....

Fury vs TBA February 19th

2011-02-02T15:20:00.000-08:00

Tyson Fury will return to face an opponent yet to be named on February 19th at the Wembley Arena in London. There were talks of him fighting 42 year old Francois Botha originally but the British Boxing Board of Control blocked his proposed fight. There is also talks that he may face former Mike Tyson conqueror Kevin McBride. Matt Skelton, the former British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion, has been mooted as a possible opponent. Also, Osborne Machiman, who boxes David Price in a Commonwealth heavyweight title eliminator in Brentwood on Saturday, February 5 could be someone he could step in for if he decides to not fight David Price.

Price and Fury have history. He boxed Price in the North West final of the ABA championship on November, 2006 and was beaten on points. But as Fury points out, “I was 17 years old and had 12 amateur fights. He was Commonwealth Games gold medallist. A lot has changed since then.” “I’m willing to fight him again.”

Fury Quotes

** Regarding facing McBride

“I would like to get revenge for Mike."

“But I don’t see that any of the opponents that have been suggested are better than Botha.”

Uncle Hughie Quotes

*Fury's trainer

**On the Botha situation..

“Botha has boxed in world class and surely he’s a tougher opponent than John McDermott, who Tyson has boxed twice."

“We are surprised the Board have turned him down. There aren’t many heavyweights out there for Tyson to fight.”

Fury McDermott II Final Rounds

2010-06-29T16:21:00.000-07:00

This is footage of the final rounds in the heavyweight English title fight, rematch, and British title eliminator between Tyson Fury and John McDermott. Shows rounds 8 and 9 where Tyson showed power in the late rounds to get the TKO stoppage after knocking McDermott down 3 times.

Fury TKO's McDermott

2010-06-26T10:38:00.000-07:00

In their highly anticipated English title rematch and British title eliminator Tyson Fury successfully defeated John McDermott via 9th round TKO when the waved the fight off after the 3rd knockdown of the fight.

Fury vs McDermott II Round by Round

Round 1: Fury is tentative but is using the ring and jabbing from a distance while John tries to get under his long arms. Fury lands a nice right. John connects a few but doesn't hurt Fury as he showboats and gets hit wobbles more out of being off balance. and does the old left right trick on John.

Round 2: Fury is still tentative but John is stalking him trying to get inside the jab, but Fury lands a big jab. Much better boxing this round from Fury. John had some success getting inside the overhand from Fury, but once he got there he did not do much. More one, two's from Fury and a big body shot. Then McDermott lands a shot and hurts Fury but Fury is ok and lands some powerful shots on McDermott on the ropes.

Round 3: McDermott still going forward and nice body shots from Fury. John lands a nice straight right but a uppercut is given back by Fury. More body shots by Fury in the round as John comes forward. Later on John lands a nice right while Fury looks like he is resting on the ropes. John then lands some nice body shots and Fury lands a nice uppercut.

Found 4: Fury is waiting lands some heavy body shots and ties up nicely inside. John lands a nice left Fury lands a big right. Tyson is looking sharper but John lands a good left. Tyson's chin took it well and then John lands a good right but Fury sticks with circling and jabbing well. John lands a good uppercut but it does not hurt Fury. Fury starts to look a little tired by the end of this round.

Round 5: John really starts to attack and for about half the round is winning the round. Later on Fury lands some more body shots but is getting caught on occasion when he is coming in on John. His defense does appear better in this fight against John than in their 1st outing. Later in the round Fury lands a good double jab and uppercut and John is hurt but his chin takes it well. Now by the end of the round when John attacks Fury stands his ground and really unleashes some fast body shots on John.

Round 6: McDermott comes out strong and presses Fury back and lands a big right. John is really fired up and it's all John in the 1st minute. Then all of a sudden McDermott lands a big right on Fury and Fury looks completely lost. Fury lands body shots and leans on John about 3 or 4 times which was enough to cause the referee David Parrish warns Fury who at this point is exhausted. John continues stalking and lasts uppercuts and Fury still is leaning on John and there is a cut from what I believe was a clash of heads. John lands a left hook and Fury holds the whole round. Fury keeps on looking over at his corner and shaking his head.

Round 7: Fury starts the round off backing up and holding on as John stalks him. Fury lands some nice body shots but John just keeps on coming. Fury lands a nice right and then holds a little and lands some shots from time to time throughout the round. Tyson is clearly exhausted and John shows great heart and conditioning despite being by appearance in worse shape. As a result Fury doesn't have the jab or boxing he had in the 1st few rounds at this point. Fury still ties up and John lands some good body shots inside and right hooks. The referee takes a point away from Fury for holding.

Round 8: Fury gets up slowly from his stool and John is charging him and Fury is leaning on him and looks exhausted. John lands a good right on Tyson's chin but Tyson takes it well. Fury is trying to get his breath, staying away tying up when close and sometimes even walking with his back almost turned. Clearly tired. Midway through the round Fury takes it to John. Fury lands some flush shots and McDermott goes down! John gets up but looks wobbly and legs looks heavy as he walks back to his corner.

Round 9: Both John and Fury come out strong. Great right from McDermott and counter shot from Fury sends John to the canvas again. John gets up and Fury lands a great uppercut and right hand and John goes down again. John barely beats the count but looks completely out on his feet and the ref waves off the fight. TKO victory for Tyson Fury!

With this win, Fury is now 11(9)-0 , while McDermott falls to 25(16)-7(3).

Fury McDermott II Weigh-In

2010-06-24T20:25:00.000-07:00

Fury Quotes

"It was a hard and tight fight [the last time], but this time there will be no doubt about the winner. "I got the vote on the night, but too many people have told me I deserved to lose. I will put that right. If I'm any good I'll beat McDermott. If I lose I will pack up my gloves and get a job. I don't want to box at a lower level - what's the point?"

This should be a interesting match since their last fight was a debatable decision in favor of Fury with Fury getting 98 to 92 decision victory. Interesting enough even though Fury weighs more in this fight, he actually looks trimmer. So maybe he has been hitting some weights. Let's see if that hurts or helps him in the ring. I think we might see some stronger punching power this time from Fury. We will have to see.

Fury McDermott II Postponed Again

2010-05-17T15:46:00.001-07:00

Looks like the highly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury 10-0(8) and John McDermott has once again been postponed. They were rescheduled already to face one another at the end of this month on May 22nd in Manchester, but according to McDermott's promoter Frank Warren, the fight has been rescheduled once again for the end of June as per the BBB of C's orders. Supposedly, Fury's promoter Mick Hennessey for reasons unknown as of yet requested another extension. The British board is angry and is giving room for the fight to take place by the end of next month at the latest. The proposed new date for the rematch will be June 11th..

Fury won the British heavyweight title last September when he beat McDermott by a controversial points win. He was ordered to have a rematch because of this controversy, but due to injuries he sustained in his next fight, Fury was unable to fulfill that rematch request and was stripped of his title.

Since then unbeaten Derek Chisora has become the British champion and easily beat a faded Danny Williams in his last match. So, this rematch will be a final eliminator for the winner to take on Chisora, which will be a great match.

Tyson Fury Quotes

"You have to take the good with the bad and Mick has been good to me, so I'm not thinking about looking for another promoter. What I do need though is to fight more often. One fight in eight months is not enough. I've not even had much sparring.

"This fight [with McDermott] has been called off about five times and I don't know what's going on. I have to get my career moving."

Come back for more information on why this fight was rescheduled and the new fight date.....

Fury Blasko Fight Video

This is the full fight video for Tyson Fury's last fight against Hans-Joerg Blasko on March 5th, 2010 in which he easily handled the equally large Blasko within the 1st round. The referee stopped the fight after the second knockdown by Fury. Here is the video:

Fury Blasts Blasko In 1

2010-03-05T22:57:00.000-08:00

Tyson Fury easily dispatched with heavyweight Hans-Joerg Blasko (9-3-0 coming into the fight) inside 1 round via a KO victory which was the chief supporting bout to the main card of Sykes vs. Morris for the British Super Featherweight title in Huddersfield.

This is what Fury said before the fight about his opponent..

“Just like my team Manchester United, I need to make a point this weekend. I’ve been away and it’s time to return back to my slot as the number one domestic heavyweight, in the premier league of boxing.”

“Forget that other London rival, Derek Chisora, he’s just been keeping my seat warm. While he’s been snogging men, I’ve been sparring them. Once I’m done with Blasko on Friday night, I’ll maybe have another fight before resolving the McDermott situation once and for all.”

“In my opinion it’s no surprise Danny Williams swerved Chisora. After all he has a wife and kids and you know, that’s not his thing.” laughed Fury “I’ve been saying for a while I would knock out Chisora, but maybe I should offer to put him to bed, that may be the right approach for a man of his inclination.”

“But joking aside, if you’re reading this Derek, I’ve got a big smack on the lips waiting for you at the end of the year if you’re up to the job.”

Fury is supposed to fight the winner of these 2, and the winner of that will face the winner of Danny Williams(41(31 KO's)-8(4 Ko's)-0) and Sam Sexton(13(6 KO's)-1-0).

Here's what Tyson Fury had to say about losing the title and much more:

"I'm sick about it, but The BBB of C wouldn't give me any more time. My hand is still only about 80-percent. Two specialists have recommended I have an operation and it looks like I'll have to [have one]. The Board said they will match McDermott and Chisora for the vacant title and I'll get the winner in a final eliminator for the British. I won't lose my position and it gives me hand more time."

Fury Decisions Mrazek

2009-12-17T11:54:00.000-08:00

In this fight, Fury hurt his hand and will be unable to challenge McDermott for his ordered rematch by the British board in December. This means fury will have to vacate his title. Stay tuned for more information on Fury.

Fury Wins On Points Over McDermott

2009-09-11T18:37:00.000-07:00

Tonight, Luke Tyson Fury won a 10 round bout against John McDermott by points for the English heavyweight title. The fight was very competitive from the start. McDermott got in on Tyson's guard throughout the fight and was able to land many right hands on Fury. But, Fury showed grit and landed clean body shots throughout. The fight could have gone either way, but Tyson ended up winning the fight with a score of 98-92 that was handed in by referee and sole judge Terry O'Connor. I thought honestly that that was a little too much in Tyson's favor. I thought the fight was closer than that.

This is Tyson's 1st pro title and now has a professional record of 8-0(7) while McDermott falls to 25-6(16). There are talks of a potential rematch so stay tuned.

Maloney On Fury vs McDermott

2009-09-07T12:51:00.000-07:00

Ahead of their British heavyweight title match on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England between Luke "Tyson" Fury 7-0 (7) and John McDermott 25-5 (16), promoter Frank Maloney had a few things to say..

"I am told there have been some massive bets among different factions in the travelling community..

"That doesn't surprise me because travellers are pretty fearless when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.

"There is even a suggestion that someone in Essex has taken a £50,000 bet on Fury winning the fight which is nuts.

"There is going to be so much pride at stake between the fighters and fans that the atmosphere will be like a bear-pit and it makes for a wildly exciting match-up.

"It is a fascinating fight where McDermott is in the last chance saloon and Fury has to live up to his boasts. He'll look daft if he doesn't."

McDermott also had a few things to say...

"People don't realise I can box. I have a good left hand and my boxing is one of my best attributes.

"Look at Martin Rogan. He has a fantastic body, but I am not born like that. I run at a good pace for an hour some mornings and keep up with boxers of 11 stone. I train hard three times a day."

Fury To Fight McDermott

2009-08-02T10:49:00.000-07:00

Unbeaten up-and-coming heavyweight Luke Tyson Fury 7-0 (7) is scheduled to face the English heavyweight champion John McDermott 25-5 (16) ( won the English crown in 2 rounds when he easily beat Pele Reid in April 2008 and will be making his first defence) for the English heavyweight title on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England.

In the last year, McDermott had lost 2 very close fights with the British heavyweight champion Danny Williams, so if Fury can win this fight very impressively, he will be a force to be reckoned with with only 8 fights in the heavyweight division. Come back for more detailed information.

Promoter Frank Maloney Quotes

"There is no doubting Tyson’s promise, but this fight has come too soon."

"John knows that if he loses this one there will be little chance of him ever winning the British title let alone getting another challenge."

About Fury's opponents:
"They have been ordinary and the one name he did beat, Scott Belshaw is someone I released from his contract because he was so disappointing."

Fury KO's Selezens

2009-07-18T18:32:00.000-07:00

It took only 3 rounds tonight for 21 year old Tyson Fury to remain undefeated 7-0(7) and score his 7th win and 7th knockout as he defeated the 29 year old Aleksandrs Selezens of Latvia by KO who fell to 3-7(1). His opponent did not look in the best of shape, but none-the-less Fury remains undefeated and he plans to stay busy this year.

Fury entered the ring smiling to Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" and started off the 1st round easily landing the right and again throughout the round and finished the round with a left right left combination. His opponent did little to nothing.

In round 2, more of the same and in round 3, his opponent finally got a punch in with the Fury's hand left hand held low. That's all that Selezens did really. For the whole third round Tyson dominated with rights to the head and body, and by the end of the round had his opponent in trouble with a couple of right uppercuts to the chin. Selezens was down against the ropes, and managed to beat the count, but his corner through in the towel.

This was a pretty easy match, but Tyson is going to fight for the English heavyweight title when he takes on "Big Bad" John McDermott in September which should be a sterner test for him...

Fury Beats Belshaw

2009-05-28T18:05:00.000-07:00

In his 6th professional fight, Luke Tyson Fury (6-0-0, 6 KO's) defeated a sound opponent when he defeated Scott Belshaw (10-2, 7 KOs) by TKO in the 2nd round of an eight round contest at the Coliseum, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

This is the 1st opponent he has faced at the pro ranks that could look him the eye as Belshaw was also 6'7". The fight started off with Fury popping the jab and circling. He landed a good left hook off the jab and easily avoided Belshaw's telegraphed punches. Fury landed more jabs throuhgout the round found his right and Belshaw's nose started to bleed. Before the end of the round Fury dropped him twice each time by a very hard body shot, and Belshaw managed to escape the round.

In round 2, Fury kept his right hand on his chin and landed his jab. Belshaw began to get desperate and threw wild swings which Fury capitalized on by landing a viscious left hook to the floating ribs of Belshaw. Belshaw doubled over and was clearly hurt, but instead of following up with anything Fury let the ref stop the 1 sided contest.

Tyson hopes to get a fight with Derek Chisora since Chisora is reportedly no longer fighting Danny Williams to potentially score a shot at the British heavyweight title. Stay tuned for more info.

Fury Stops Peret

2009-02-28T14:18:00.000-08:00

UK's unbeaten Luke Tyson Fury 3-0(3) ended up winning his 3rd professional fight today via referee stoppage after the 2nd round due to a cut over Daniel "Shrek" Peret's (15-21(6)) left eye. Peret, a Russian born fighter living in Norway, protested, but it wasn't enough to convince the referee to overturn his decision.

The 1st round, with Fury looking in better shape than his previous two fights, was all Tyson Fury as he easily used footwork and reach to keep the shorter Peret at a distance while popping his jab. Peret tried rushing a couple times but to no avail.

In round 2, Tyson let loose body shots, and full arsenal and had the usually durable Peret in trouble. But, somewhere in the multitude of punches Peret got cut over the left eye and the round ended with Peret wearing down along with a great punch landing to his midsection.

The ref reviewed the cut and it was all over even thought Peret yelled, "No! Are you crazy!" Clearly there was no way he was going to win this fight and most likely if it wasn't KO the ref would ahve stopped the fight in the next round or 2 regardless of the cut.

Good job on Tyson Fury's 3rd win as a professional. He's looking to fight again soon in 2 weeks March 14th and has called out ANY British fighter to face him. So far so good for Tyson lets see if any British fighters call him out in the next few days. Harrison perhaps?
