Tyson Fury said he’d go to London and beat Dereck Chisora in 2011. He said he’d go to Dusseldorf and beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. He said he’d go to Los Angeles and beat Deontay Wilder in 2018. And he said he’d go to Las Vegas and beat Wilder again in 2020.
Tyson Fury added the WBC Heavyweight crown to his collection and in doing so became the first boxer in history to win every major world title in the division at some stage of his career.
No-one does braggadocio quite like Tyson Fury, who claimed WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder’s dismissive taunts brought him back to boxing.
“I had never known before, and might never again, such a heightened sense of being present at a moment so filled with impending drama,” writes James Lawton in his new book A Ringside Affair: Boxing’s Last Golden Age.
