Tyson Fury: record, next fight and profile →
LAS VEGAS - Last December Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder battled to a controversial draw in Los Angeles in a Showtime pay-per-view event. Fury appeared to have won most of the rounds but Wilder made the fight closer by scoring two knockdowns. The final scores were 114-112 for Fury, 115-111 for Wilder and 113-113 to round out the split draw.
LAS VEGAS - It goes without saying that Tyson Fury is less than impressed with WBA/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Both fighters return to the ring in June. Fury (27-0-1) will face Tom Schwarz (24-0) on the 15th in Las Vegas while Joshua returns to ring on Saturday when he faces late replacement Andy Ruiz. Joshua was originally scheduled to face Jarrell Miller but he was pulled from the fight when the New York State Athletic commission wouldn't issue him a license after he failed 3 separate drugs tests.
Luis Ortiz couldn’t have been more thrilled when he received word of plans being finalized for his rematch with Deontay Wilder. The Cuban southpaw couldn’t have been more annoyed, though, when he saw the unbeaten titlist was already making plans beyond their upcoming sequel.
The message has now become clear regarding Deontay Wilder’s future—no new business until he settles up old matters. Mere days after revealing plans for a fall rematch with Luis Ortiz, the reigning unbeaten heavyweight titlist now claims plans are in place afterward to run it back with Tyson Fury.
Anthony Joshua has claimed Andy Ruiz is as dangerous as both Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, as he prepares to face the Mexican-American at Madison Square Garden. WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO champion Joshua was originally set to face Jarrell Miller in a heavyweight showdown in New York City on June 1, but that bout was scrapped after Miller failed drugs tests.
