Tyson Fury: record, next fight and profile →
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes heavyweight contender Tyson Fury, believes a huge showdown with Anthony Joshua should take place in the United States - and not the UK. Arum explains that a fight between the two heavyweight names would make far more money in the United States - although the contest would surely be the biggest domestic fight to be made on UK soil, and easily a 90,000 sellout event at Wembley Stadium.
Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte has continued his verbal assault on Tyson Fury. The World Boxing Council recently suggested the idea of a final eliminator between Whyte and Fury. Fury claims that he will take part in the eliminator - but only if the WBC sanctions the fight for their "Diamond title."
BRITISH boxing idols Tyson Fury and George Groves are in disagreement over the sensational heavyweight showdown between the division’s leading prospects Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman. The vacant British heavyweight title will be on the line when Dubois (11-0, 10 KOs and Gorman (16-0, 11 KOs) clash at The O2, London on Saturday July 13, live on BT Sport.
WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder believes that he should have been facing Tyson Fury in a rematch - and blames the British boxer for bailing on their second fight. They fought to a controversial twelve round split draw in December of last year.
Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury is about a month away from his debut in Las Vegas. Fury will return to the ring on June 15th, when he faces unbeaten Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte insist they are willing to fight later this year. Last week, Fury shot down a potential eliminator against Whyte, but now he's changed his mind. The World Boxing Council last week ordered they fight in a final eliminator to challenge WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, who Fury controversially drew with in December.
Watching the Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury fight from a ringside seat simply reinforced what Dominic Breazeale believed. That the undefeated Wilder is quite beatable. Breazeale realizes that Wilder hits harder with his right hand than perhaps any heavyweight in boxing. Other than that, though, Breazeale doesn’t see anything that should make him feel like he is headed toward an unwinnable battle Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes Tyson Fury, believes a massive UK showdown with Anthony Joshua is possible for 2020. Making that contest is easier said than done, because both boxers have contractual ties to rival networks in the UK and the United States.
Tyson Fury shakes his head at the critics who are downplaying his upcoming opponent, unbeaten Tom Schwarz of Germany. Fury will make his Las Vegas debut on June 15, when he faces Schwarz at the MGM Grand. Schwarz has never faced an opponent even close to Fury's level, and most observers are not expecting the contest to even be competitive.
On June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York, Anthony Joshua defends his WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO world heavyweight titles on against Andy Ruiz. The contest will be Joshua's debut in the United States. The 2016 Olympic gold medal winner wants to march forward to become a superstar on American soil.
