Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury, nicknamed the Gypsy King, is an Irish-English boxer, one of the brightest and most shocking representatives of modern sports. In addition to the original technique and powerful physique, the fighter also has an explosive and uncontrollable character. By 2018, his sports biography includes 30 victories out of 34 fights, 26 of them are knockouts. The remaining 4 fights were reduced to a draw, the boxer had not yet had a single defeat.

The athlete's full name is Luke Tyson Fury. His father John, nicknamed Gypsy, also became famous as a famous boxer in the 80s. He named his son after his beloved boxer Mike Tyson.

From childhood, the boy began to show an interest in martial arts, and he was sent to train with his own uncle Peter, who already had experience in training boxers. Tyson inherited his father's talent, and already in his youth, his list of victories was impressive, and he played for both English and Irish fight clubs.

Although Fury played for Ireland three times internationally, he never made it to the Olympic team. After another battle for the Holy Family Boxing Club, he was deprived of the right to represent this country, and the young athlete finally moved to the English national team. In 2006, Tyson became the third in the world junior championship, and a year later he won the European Union championship and received the ABA champion title.

In 2008, the boxer moved to professional sports and made his debut in this capacity in the promotion company of Mika Hennessy. The very first fight in the middle weight category with White Gyendiesche brought Fury a victory, and a month later he faced the representative of Germany Marcel Zeller. Despite his solid experience, the German held out against Tyson for only 3 rounds and resigned.

Gradually Fury moved from middleweight to heavyweight. The next year was truly triumphant for the fighter. His piggy bank of victories was replenished by won fights with Lee Vesby, Matthew Ellis, Scott Belshaw. He twice went against John McDermott, and even in the second fight he could not take revenge - both times Tyson knocked him out of action with powerful knockdowns.

Fury was the culprit for Marcelo Luis Nascimento's first career loss, and this spectacular 5th round knockout win gave him the right to claim the British title. In 2011, another athlete, who had never known defeats before, came out against Tyson - super heavyweight Derek Chisora. Before the start of the fight, critics and fans unanimously favored him as the reigning champion, but it soon became clear that Tyson was a dangerous opponent for him.

The huge Chisora ​​simply could not keep up with his lighter and more maneuverable opponent: his powerful blows, which nevertheless hit the target, almost knocked Fury out of action, but by the 6th round, Tyson's speed and endurance decided the matter. In 2014, Chisora ​​tried to take revenge, but Fury's professional experience by that time allowed him to dominate with a clear advantage. The athletes lasted 10 rounds, after which the referee stopped the fight and gave the victory to Tyson.

After Chisora's defeat, the athlete received the EBU European Championship and acquired the right to fight for the status of world champion, but soon the boxer was overtaken by a series of failures. The injuries forced him to cancel the scheduled meeting with David Haye, and the fight with Alexander Ustinov fell through due to the fact that Tyson was taken to the hospital the day before.

The brightest fight in Fury's career took place in 2015. The rival was Vladimir Klitschko, who by that time had an impressive list of titles. The boxers were roughly equal in strength and the audience was looking forward to the fight. From the first rounds, it became clear that Klitschko made a mistake in his strategy: out of habit, he tried to keep Fury at a distance, but a tall (206 cm tall) opponent with an impressive (216 cm) arm span began to deliver unexpected side punches.

The fight ended after the 12th round with a confident victory for Tyson, and the former champion Klitschko was overthrown from the podium. After that, Vladimir repeatedly challenged Fury to a second duel, but their meeting was constantly disrupted. In the end, in 2016, Tyson announced that he was giving up all titles and awards and was leaving the sport, Klitschko was never able to take revenge.

In 2008, the boxer married longtime girlfriend Paris. They met at the age of 16. Tyson's wife, like himself, has gypsy roots.

Although Paris was with him from his youth, the athlete did not forget about other women. In an interview, Fury admitted that he was actually a "liar and a traitor", always led a stormy personal life and had mistresses, which he bitterly regrets.

The couple are raising two children - son Prince and daughter Venezuela. Tyson has repeatedly stated that he will make every effort to ensure that his son continues the family tradition and becomes a boxer, but at the same time he did not forget about education, since Fury himself hardly studied in his youth.

Tyson was known as an ambitious and harsh person. Like Muhammad Ali, he does not spare swear words for rivals and does not hesitate to extol his skill. After Fury spoke impartially about the enemy on social networks, he was fined $ 3 thousand, but he did not behave more correctly. This demeanor attracted the attention of fans around the world to him, and the Gypsy King loves popularity.

His decision to leave professional boxing in 2016 was dictated not so much by the athlete's fatigue as by the desire of the club's management to get rid of the unruly champion. Fury made public statements that he wanted to legalize doping, and after the fight with Klitschko, traces of illegal drugs were found in his blood. Tyson confessed to using cocaine, citing mental problems and poor physical health, and, without waiting for sanctions, resigned his titles voluntarily.

In 2018, the athlete announced that he was returning to professional boxing and wanted to fight Albanian Sefer Seferi. This decision did not please the British Boxing Control Council (BBBofC), but it was allowed to fight.

Tyson arranged his return to the ring with his characteristic shocking: before the fight he asked the fans to help him choose suitable underpants by posting 3 photos of his choice on his Instagram page, at preliminary weighing instead of the traditional "battle of views" he picked up the Albanian in his arms, and before the start of the battle kissed him.

At the time of the fight, Tyson's weight was 125 kg, and the opponent weighed only 95. As a result, Sefer Seferi held out against him for 4 rounds and refused to go to the 5th. Fury stated that he could have "knocked him out" in the first 10 seconds, but wanted to enjoy the battle, since he had not entered the ring for a long time.

Now the boxer is preparing for the upcoming fight with American Deontay Wilder. The contract between them has already been signed, but the venue for the fight has not yet been chosen - most likely, it will be either Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
