Tyson Fury

WBC World Champion, Heavyweight

"He is probably the best heavyweight in the world, breaks spectator records, knocks out his opponents and could continue to do so for years to come." That's what Der Spiegel wrote last year, and that really says it all about this exceptional boxing phenomenon and self-proclaimed "Gypsy King" from the working-class city of Manchester in England.

His unorthodox and clever boxing style, paired with enormous punching power, almost unbelievable taker qualities and the ability to remain highly focussed even in long, energy-sapping fights over 12 rounds, make him an almost insurmountable opponent. Even if he doesn't come across as a model athlete and clearly enjoys flashy and provocative performances both in and out of the ring, opponents who underestimate him have already lost. epic ring battles against Deontay Wilder between 2020 and 2022 he has already made boxing history. What's more, he is the only unbeaten heavyweight world champion in the world.

Tyson is a southpaw, a proud 206 cm tall with an impressive reach of 216 cm. He was born on 12 August 1988 in Wythenshawe in Manchester, north-west England, has been married since 2008 and is the father of six children. He is coached by Sugar Hill Stewart, the son of coaching legend Emanuel Stewart, and his manager is Spencer Jones.
