A few people predicted that a Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 early) victory over long-time heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko would enliven a division that had been steady yet somewhat moribund in recent years. The 27-year-old did just that, posting a unanimous decision over the outgoing Champion in November to set up the possibility of not only a contractually mandated return but making a series of fights with his divisional rivals a distinct possibility.
The IBF placed a mandatory on Fury’s toes as soon as he won the title. However, he decided to jettison the belt rather than take on Vyacheslav Glazkov, citing his rematch with Wlad when making his decision. The IBF moved swiftly and Glazkov instead boxed Charles Martin for the vacant belt.
