Tyson Fury Defeats Wladimir Klitschko To Become Heavyweight Boxing Champion Of The World


The "Gypsy King" Becomes The Boxing King Of The Heavyweight Division

UPDATE 12-7-15: A report in the Daily Star indicated Tyson's win would mean he has unified the division. However, other reports online state it has not been unified with his defeat of Klitschko. Fury is still the world champion though.

 

Tyson Fury

27-year-old Tyson Fury, the English underdog of Irish ancestry, went the distance with fellow boxer, Wladimir Klitschko, 39, the heavyweight champion of the world for the past 11-years and won, in what was an upset victory that came as a shock to many. Fury defeated Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Germany, before a 55,000 strong sell out crowd this past Saturday, to become the new heavyweight champion of the world, unifying the division.

Fury won by unanimous decision (116-111, 115-112, 115-112). Fury won Klitschko's WBA Super, IBF and WBO belts in the $50,000,000 fight. His purse is thought to be $5,000,000 with additional potential payouts from the widely watched fight. Previously, Fury won the British, English, European, Commonwealth and Irish belts. He is now one of the most decorated boxers in sports history.

Fury was often mocked for not being mainstream, speaking his mind in incendiary interviews and press conferences and not being chiseled. Most people did not think he had a chance to defeat Klitschko, but I didn't count him out. The Judiciary Report began running a series of articles on Fury a year and a half ago, prior to his fight against boxer Dereck Chisora for the British and European heavyweight titles, which he later won. Fury visibly shook up Chisora and shocked Klitschko, who also looked surprised at the challenger's performance during several points in their bout.

Some attribute Fury's win to Klitschko's age (and 39 is advanced years for boxing and most sports). However, just months ago, Klitschko defeated excellent Philadelphia boxer, Bryant Jennings, in New York's famed Madison Square Gardens arena. Pundits should give credit where credit is due. Klitschko is a superb boxer. One of the best ever. However, people underestimated Fury's abilities as a pugilist and how badly he wanted to win. You could see the drive and determination in his eyes the whole fight.

Months ago on Twitter I stated I am rooting for Fury in the Klitschko fight. A year and a half ago in July 2014, I wrote Fury should improve his training regiment (which he did) and pitch for the Klitschko fight as he has a talent for boxing (Tyson Fury States He Wants To Fight World Champion Wladimir Klitschko But There’s A Problem).

 

Wladimir Klitschko

I did not discount Fury for several reasons. He is undefeated. He comes from a line of bare-knuckle Gypsy boxers, who by all indications are very physically tough. He is strong with a significant reach. He showed improvement over his past several fights and then improved his fitness levels losing the beer belly and love handles (even though he recently described his body as being "like jelly" LOL). He certainly showed faith. Congrats to Fury on his well deserved win. God bless. I love a good underdog story.

Wladimir Klitschko Agrees To Fight Tyson Fury In Big Heavyweight Showdown For World Titles


Wladimir Klitschko

Fresh off his win over tough opponent Bryant Jennings at Madison Square Garden in New York City, world heavyweight boxing champion, Wladimir Klitschko, has agreed to fight the mandatory, British pugilist, Tyson Fury. The boxers camps are currently in negotiations for the bout scheduled to take place within the next 6-months. Fury's promoter Frank Warren wants the fight to be held in London, England. Having the fight in London would give it great publicity and massive ticket sales.

 

Tyson Fury
 
Klitschko stated regarding the pending bout against of Fury, "I just got the news that I am obligated to satisfy my mandatories (title defences). The way it looks, Tyson Fury is going to be my next challenger. Obviously a fight with Tyson Fury is not going to be in the United States. I think this fight needs to happen in Europe. I know that he's the WBA mandatory. It's something that I have to do. Fighting Fury in Germany or in Great Britain, that's something we have to figure out. It's something we have to work out."

Wladimir Klitschko Retains His World Titles After Win Over Bryant Jennings (Video)

World heavyweight champion, Ukrainian boxer, Wladimir Klitschko, 39, retained his titles this past Saturday, in a bout against American pugilist, Bryant Jennings, 30. Klitschko’s record sits at an impressive 64-3. The fight was the first loss for Jennings, whose record now sits at an admirable 91-1. Jennings was paid $1,250,000 for the fight and received favorable publicity for taking on the world champ.

 

I am convinced I can beat Klitschko (Hayden Panettiere Klitschko that is - what is she, like 4 feet 11 inches tall (LOL). I’m just teasing. Actually, I could beat Wladimir Klitschko (*cough* with a brick). I would win the fight for the simple reason I am not afraid to hit below the belt and look the ref in the face and say “My hand slipped…5 times.” Not only would Wladimir take an L (loss), so would Hayden as a result of me hitting him below the belt (think about that). Once again, I am kidding.

Klitschko should leave the singing to his wife (LOL)

Klitschko is next expected to face undefeated champs, Britain’s Tyson Fury (24-0) and or America’s Deontay Wilder (33-0). Either fight or both would be good for boxing. Wilder vs. Jennings would also be a good fight, as they are two well matched heavyweights.

Movie Review - Never Say Never

Title: Never Say Never

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: May 31, 2011

Rating: PG

Running time: 105 minutes

Box Office Gross: $98,111,669

Site Rating: 5 out of 10 stars

"Never Say Never" is the bio documentary of 17-year-old Canadian sensation Justin Bieber. The film includes footage of Bieber as a child (no, younger than he is now) and charts his rise to fame that literally happened in the space of one year.

The childhood footage of Bieber is absolutely adorable. He was a beautiful baby and sweet toddler. The documentary features guest appearances by Usher, Miley Cyrus and Sean Kingston, in the lead up to Bieber‘s sold out concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In watching Bieber, one can’t help but be concerned he will fall into the pitfalls of fame, such as promiscuous sex, drugs, alcohol and cults, which are ever present in Hollywood. However, if he stays true to his small town roots and keeps his feet rooted in the faith, he will not go astray. Anything less and Hollywood will gobble him up and destroy him, as it has done to so many child stars before him.

Prince Clowns Kim Kardashian

The blogs are laughing at reality TV star, Kim Kardashian, who was told to "get off the stage" by singer/musician Prince. The pop star invited people on stage to dance at his "Welcome 2 America" concert, held in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Kim Kardashian

After dancing with one lady, he told her to "get off the stage," because she is "too sexy." However, after inviting Kardashian on stage, who was being shy, stiff and stoic, Prince simply told her to "get off the stage." Ouch! The Purple One has spoken.

Justin Bieber Booed In New York Due To Overexposure

Justin Bieber

16-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, is becoming overexposed. His management company is not doing a good job of balancing his public exposure, as he was heckled and "loudly booed" last night, at a Knicks basketball game in New York's Madison Square Garden. It is a classic management mistake.

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez

A few months ago, in the October 22. 2010 article Justin Bieber's Mom Suing Mad, the Judiciary Report warned this would happen, due to the extensive publicity and marketing drive behind the young star. He is simply out there too much and a backlash has ensued. This is not a good way to build a career and his management has failed him in this regard. He is also surrounded by very unsavory people at his record and management company, which is going to lead to disaster if his parents do not intervene.

Justin Bieber's "Baby" (2010)

Bieber's music is also quite derivative, due to the team singer, Usher Raymond, has assembled at his company RBMG, to work with the young singer. Bieber's debut single "Baby" is co-written by producer and chronic copyright infringer, Terius Nash (The Dream) and his wife, singer, Christina Milian. The song is very similar to a preexisting, platinum #2 single "Baby, Baby, Baby" by fellow Atlanta residents, TLC, which was released in 1992 and written by Babyface and Daryl Simmons. Usher is signed to Babyface's former label LaFace.

TLC's "Baby" (1992)

Both songs have the world "Baby" as the title, contain very similar choruses that consist of the line "Baby, baby, baby, oh" repeated in rapid succession and are about the exact same thing. Ironically, Usher Raymond, dated Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas of TLC. The Dream and his wife, Christina Milian, are currently in divorce court fighting over the rights to a song that truly is not their own.
