Tyson Fury’s post-fight comments were more exciting than his bout Saturday against Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. (Photo by Mikey Williams/Top Rank Inc via Getty Images) There has never been a heavyweight like Tyson Fury. He’s the size of an NBA power forward, has the wit of a stand-up comic, power that rivals that of boxing’s best ever punchers and the skills of a man 100 pounds lighter. He’s a guy who less than five years ago was contemplating suicide and now, in… Source link

(AP Photo/Hassan Ammar) Oleksandr Usyk stood in the pocket for the better part of 36 minutes on Saturday, daring one of the hardest hitting heavyweights in recent times to hit him.

This version of Tyson Fury, the guy who knocked out Deontay Wilder twice and put Dillian Whyte to sleep Saturday with one of the best uppercuts you’ll ever see, would be a difficult out for any fighter in boxing history. Yes, that includes Muhammad Ali. And George Foreman. And Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis and Rocky Marciano and Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis and Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe and Vitali Klitschko and Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson and… Source link

If Tyson Fury follows through on his intention to retire, the final punch of his career may wind up being his best. Fury hit an oncoming Dillian Whyte with a stiff jab and immediately followed it with a blazing right uppercut. The right landed on the point of the chin and Whyte was immediately out cold, doing a dead fall backward. He managed to get up but staggered into the corner and referee Mark Lyson waved it off at 2:59 of the sixth round in front of a deliriously happy crowd of 94,000… Source link

Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will take questions about his relationship with Daniel Kinahan, but will not say much. Fury did not provide clarity on the situation Tuesday, saying his relationship with Kinahan was not something the public needed to know. Fury initially told reporters, “That’s none of your business” when asked about his relationship to Kinahan. Fury then tried to downplay the situation saying, “I’m just a stupid boxer who gets punched in the face for a living.” Fury mostly… Source link

It is less than five days before he walks to the ring at Wembley Stadium in London to defend his titles against Dillian Whyte and heavyweight champion Tyson Fury still has not disassociated himself from alleged mobster Daniel Kinahan. Promoter Frank Warren told the BBC Monday that Kinahan, whom the U.S. government contends runs one of the largest drug cartels in the world, has had no involvement in Saturday’s bout for the WBC and lineal heavyweight titles. But Fury, who was pictured with… Source link

Months after legendary boxer Mike Tyson made his triumphant return to the ring against Roy Jones Jr. last year, rumors have been swirling that his next opponent could be YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul. Paul may have earned more respect from the boxing community after going the distance in his last exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr., but Iron Mike didn’t necessarily seem threatened in a new interview with Yahoo Finance. Without going as far as confirming a fight with Paul, Tyson… Source link

Boxing legend Mike Tyson may have pulled off an impressive return from retirement last year with an unofficial draw with Roy Jones Jr., but unlike ageless wonder Tom Brady, the heavyweight champion is being less secretive about his methods to fight father time. Iron Mike credits cannabis. Speaking with Yahoo Finance about the debut of his eponymous Tyson 2.0 cannabis line in partnership with cannabis company Columbia Care, the 55-year-old said he wished he smoked cannabis his “whole career”… Source link
