Tyson Fury hits the ripe old age of 25!!!
London (12 August) Just six weeks and five days away from his all British super fight withformer WBA heavyweight champion David Haye on September 28, Tyson Fury is celebrating his 25th birthday.
The 6’9’’ heavyweight sensation is in training camp in Belgium preparing to take on Haye at the Phones 4 U Arena Manchester live on Sky Sports HD Box Office and instead of cake, can look forward to hard training and a fixed diet!
For Tyson, the former English, British, Commonwealth and Irish heavyweight champion, many could be forgiven for assuming he is older considering everything he’s already achieved.
Boasting a perfect record of 21 wins from 21 fights, with 15 knockouts, in just five years as a professional, it all started with a first round knockout of Bela Gyongyosi in 2008.
Tyson claimed the British heavyweight belt with a ninth round knockout of John McDermott in just 2010, in a rematch from their 2009 contest where Tyson won the English title with a points decision.
In 2011 he fought Dereck Chisora for the British and Commonwealth titles – utilising his reach, Tyson powered his way to a unanimous points win over 12 rounds, picking up the championships while inflicting the first defeat of Chisora’s promising career.
That was quickly followed by knockout victories over Nicolai Firtha and Neven Pajkicbefore relinquishing his belts to face Martin Rogan for the vacant Irish heavyweight championship.
Since then, Fury claimed the WBO Inter-Continental title with a crushing fifth round knockout of Vinny Maddalone.
Ranked in the top 10 fighters within all the world governing bodies, Tyson stepped up to convincingly outpoint Kevin Johnson in Belfast, before moving on to Steve “USS” Cunningham on his US debut.
Fighting at the Mecca of boxing at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, a venue every fighter aspires to fight in but few accomplish, Tyson met the former two-time world cruiserweight champion Cunningham.
Aged just 24 at the time, Tyson faced a second-round knockdown to come back and knock Cunningham out in the seventh, proving he not only has the physical attributes to dominate the sport, but also the heart and drive to come back and win.
Experienced and mature beyond his years, one thing is for certain, come September 28th all that heart and will to win will be in the ring with David Haye, but for now it’s a birthday of training and hard work.
