The Tyson Fury record is an example of a sensational heavyweight resumé, having beating fighters such as Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou having also shared the ring with the great Oleksandr Usyk twice. ‘The Gypsy King’ is a heavyweight icon.
Tyson Fury Record
Despite losing for the first time as a professional boxer to Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed world heavyweight title contest in May 2024, Tyson Fury remains one of the best heavyweights in the world and one of the greatest of the 21st century.
The 36-year-old has had a remarkable career, which has been full of highs inside the boxing ring, mixed with some lows outside of his career. ‘The Gypsy King’ is an example of what hard work, dedicated, desire and a never-say-die attitude can do, mixed with a fair bit of talent too of course.
The only defeats on his record of course come against a pound-for-pound boxing great, losses which were both by the narrowest of margins. One thing that cannot be denied is that Fury ended the dominant Klitschko era, handing Wladimir his first defeat in 11 years and ending his long reign as the heavyweight king.
The Brit is of course a two-time world heavyweight champion, winning the WBC World Heavyweight Title after an almost three year hiatus from the sport. During this period, Fury ballooned up in weight, has several personal issues and looked like he would never fight again.
But in true Tyson Fury fashion, he proved everyone wrong, returning to the sport and becoming a two-time world heavyweight king in the process. There is no doubt that ‘The Gypsy King’ is a modern day boxing great, with a highly impressive 34-2-1 record to match.
Fury may have lost back-to-back fights against Oleksandr Usyk, but write him off at your peril as he aims to become a three-time world heavyweight champion in the future.
The Tyson Fury Record Of 34-2-1 Includes 24 KO’s Against Some Heavyweight Icons
En route to his first shot at world honours, Tyson Fury picked up the English, Irish, Commonwealth, British and European Heavyweight Titles. Fury beat fighters such as Derek Chisora twice, Martin Rogan, Steve Cunningham, Christian Hammer and John McDermott twice to name but a few of his victories.
His 25th fight as a professional boxer was Fury’s first shot at world honours. On 28th November 2015, Fury travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany to take on the dominant heavyweight force that was Wladimir Klitschko. The Ukrainian hadn’t been defeated in 11 years, but had no answers for Fury on the night.
Despite being a huge underdog pre-fight with the best UK boxing betting sites, ‘The Gypsy King’ put on a boxing clinic, outpointing Klitschko to become world heavyweight champion at the first time of asking. Fury had climbed Mount Everest, writing his name into the history books as well as becoming the unified world heavyweight king.
However, that monumental victory was the beginning of a huge decline for Tyson Fury. He ballooned up in weight as well as facing several personal problems, before announcing he would return in 2018. True to his word, after losing 10 stone in weight, Fury got back into the ring.
The 36-year-old got back to winning ways with victories over Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta, before the first of his trilogy of bouts with hard-hitting American Deontay Wilder. The first fight of course resulted in a draw, with Fury seemingly coming back from the dead in Round 9.
Before the Wilder rematch, Fury notched up another two victories over Tom Schwartz and Otto Wallin. In the rematch with the ‘Bronze Bomber’, Fury didn’t leave the result in the hands of the judges this time, ironing through Wilder in five rounds to become a two-time world heavyweight champion.
Tyson Fury Is A Two-Time World Heavyweight Champion
In the first defence of his WBC World Heavyweight Title, Fury once again stopped Wilder in their trilogy, climbing off the canvas numerous times himself to stop the American in Round 11. Another emphatic knockout victory and the end of their three-fight rivalry.
‘The Gypsy King’ then took on two British fighters back-to-back, knocking out both Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora in straight-forward fashion. Talk of another all-British clash with Anthony Joshua looked likely, as did the undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
However, Fury faced former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou instead, getting away with a shockingly underwhelming performance. Fury beat Ngannou on points, but was knocked down by former UFC man early on in the fight, with some fans questioning whether Fury deserved to win the fight
Regardless, he got the win which set up the undisputed world heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024. Despite being favourite with the best UK bookmakers, Fury lost for the very first time as a professional, losing his WBC belt in the process.
That set up the rematch with Usyk, once again in Saudi Arabia. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh staged the super-fight rematch, with ‘The Gypsy King’ losing for the second time to the great Ukrainian. Fury himself and his promoter Frank Warren were adamant he did enough to win the fight, but it wasn’t to be.
That takes us up to now in the professional boxing career of Tyson Fury. There is no doubt that the 1988-born Englishman is one of the best heavyweights of this generation, and will go down in history as one of the best British fighters of all time.
