Tyson Fury Is Boxing's New Heavyweight Champion Of The World

Wladimir Klitschko’s nearly ten-year-long reign as boxing’s heavyweight champion came to an end today as British fighter and 3-1 underdog Tyson Fury defeated the Ukranian in Düsseldorf by unanimous decision. It was Klitschko’s first loss since 2004.

Fury improved his career record to 25-0 with the win, one that claimed a total of five recognized world heavyweight titles.
