McDermott vs Chisora For Fury's Vacated English Title

Tyson Fury(9(7 KO's)-0-0) has been forced to vacate his British title because he will not be able to meet the British Board's obligation to rematch John McDermott in December due to a hand injury he sustained in his decision win over Tomas Mrazek.

The British Title will now be given to the winner of John McDermott(25(16 KO's)-6(2 KO's)-0) and London's unbeaten Derek "Del Boy" Chisora. Fury is supposed to fight the winner of these 2, and the winner of that will face the winner of Danny Williams(41(31 KO's)-8(4 Ko's)-0) and Sam Sexton(13(6 KO's)-1-0). Williams and Sexton will fight on February, 13th 2010. The winner of this fight will then be the British champion as well.

No dates have been named for McDermott vs Chisora match. Stay tuned for more information.

Here's what Tyson Fury had to say about losing the title and much more:

"I'm sick about it, but The BBB of C wouldn't give me any more time. My hand is still only about 80-percent. Two specialists have recommended I have an operation and it looks like I'll have to [have one]. The Board said they will match McDermott and Chisora for the vacant title and I'll get the winner in a final eliminator for the British. I won't lose my position and it gives me hand more time."

Fury Decisions Mrazek

Just 2 weeks(September 26th 2009)Z after his decision win(controversial to some) over John McDermoot, Fury defeated Tomas Mrazek by 6th round decision in a fight many believed Tyson should have won alot easier. Fury did have Tomas down in the 6th and final round, but was unable to finish him off. Fury improves to a record of 9(7)-0-0.

In this fight, Fury hurt his hand and will be unable to challenge McDermott for his ordered rematch by the British board in December. This means fury will have to vacate his title. Stay tuned for more information on Fury.

Fury vs McDermott Weigh-In & Interviews

Here is a video I found with the weigh-in for the English heavyweight title fight between up and coming heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury and English heavyweight champion John McDermott. Enjoy!

Fury Wins On Points Over McDermott

Tonight, Luke Tyson Fury won a 10 round bout against John McDermott by points for the English heavyweight title. The fight was very competitive from the start. McDermott got in on Tyson's guard throughout the fight and was able to land many right hands on Fury. But, Fury showed grit and landed clean body shots throughout. The fight could have gone either way, but Tyson ended up winning the fight with a score of 98-92 that was handed in by referee and sole judge Terry O'Connor. I thought honestly that that was a little too much in Tyson's favor. I thought the fight was closer than that.

This is Tyson's 1st pro title and now has a professional record of 8-0(7) while McDermott falls to 25-6(16). There are talks of a potential rematch so stay tuned.

Maloney On Fury vs McDermott

Ahead of their British heavyweight title match on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England between Luke "Tyson" Fury 7-0 (7) and John McDermott 25-5 (16), promoter Frank Maloney had a few things to say..

"I am told there have been some massive bets among different factions in the travelling community..

"That doesn't surprise me because travellers are pretty fearless when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.

"There is even a suggestion that someone in Essex has taken a £50,000 bet on Fury winning the fight which is nuts.

"There is going to be so much pride at stake between the fighters and fans that the atmosphere will be like a bear-pit and it makes for a wildly exciting match-up.

"It is a fascinating fight where McDermott is in the last chance saloon and Fury has to live up to his boasts. He'll look daft if he doesn't."

McDermott also had a few things to say...

"People don't realise I can box. I have a good left hand and my boxing is one of my best attributes.

"Look at Martin Rogan. He has a fantastic body, but I am not born like that. I run at a good pace for an hour some mornings and keep up with boxers of 11 stone. I train hard three times a day."

Fury To Fight McDermott

Unbeaten up-and-coming heavyweight Luke Tyson Fury 7-0 (7) is scheduled to face the English heavyweight champion John McDermott 25-5 (16) ( won the English crown in 2 rounds when he easily beat Pele Reid in April 2008 and will be making his first defence) for the English heavyweight title on Friday, September 11th at The Brentwood Centre in Essex, England.

In the last year, McDermott had lost 2 very close fights with the British heavyweight champion Danny Williams, so if Fury can win this fight very impressively, he will be a force to be reckoned with with only 8 fights in the heavyweight division. Come back for more detailed information.

Promoter Frank Maloney Quotes

"There is no doubting Tyson’s promise, but this fight has come too soon."

"John knows that if he loses this one there will be little chance of him ever winning the British title let alone getting another challenge."

About Fury's opponents:
"They have been ordinary and the one name he did beat, Scott Belshaw is someone I released from his contract because he was so disappointing."

Fury KO's Selezens

It took only 3 rounds tonight for 21 year old Tyson Fury to remain undefeated 7-0(7) and score his 7th win and 7th knockout as he defeated the 29 year old Aleksandrs Selezens of Latvia by KO who fell to 3-7(1). His opponent did not look in the best of shape, but none-the-less Fury remains undefeated and he plans to stay busy this year.

Fury entered the ring smiling to Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" and started off the 1st round easily landing the right and again throughout the round and finished the round with a left right left combination. His opponent did little to nothing.

In round 2, more of the same and in round 3, his opponent finally got a punch in with the Fury's hand left hand held low. That's all that Selezens did really. For the whole third round Tyson dominated with rights to the head and body, and by the end of the round had his opponent in trouble with a couple of right uppercuts to the chin. Selezens was down against the ropes, and managed to beat the count, but his corner through in the towel.

This was a pretty easy match, but Tyson is going to fight for the English heavyweight title when he takes on "Big Bad" John McDermott in September which should be a sterner test for him...

Fury vs Belshaw Video

This is the video for the heavyweight fight between up and coming heavyweight boxer Tyson (6-0-0, 6 KO's) and Scott Belshaw(10-2-0, 7 Ko's). Enjoy!

Fury Beats Belshaw

In his 6th professional fight, Luke Tyson Fury (6-0-0, 6 KO's) defeated a sound opponent when he defeated Scott Belshaw (10-2, 7 KOs) by TKO in the 2nd round of an eight round contest at the Coliseum, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

This is the 1st opponent he has faced at the pro ranks that could look him the eye as Belshaw was also 6'7". The fight started off with Fury popping the jab and circling. He landed a good left hook off the jab and easily avoided Belshaw's telegraphed punches. Fury landed more jabs throuhgout the round found his right and Belshaw's nose started to bleed. Before the end of the round Fury dropped him twice each time by a very hard body shot, and Belshaw managed to escape the round.

In round 2, Fury kept his right hand on his chin and landed his jab. Belshaw began to get desperate and threw wild swings which Fury capitalized on by landing a viscious left hook to the floating ribs of Belshaw. Belshaw doubled over and was clearly hurt, but instead of following up with anything Fury let the ref stop the 1 sided contest.

Tyson hopes to get a fight with Derek Chisora since Chisora is reportedly no longer fighting Danny Williams to potentially score a shot at the British heavyweight title. Stay tuned for more info.

Fury Stops Peret

UK's unbeaten Luke Tyson Fury 3-0(3) ended up winning his 3rd professional fight today via referee stoppage after the 2nd round due to a cut over Daniel "Shrek" Peret's (15-21(6)) left eye. Peret, a Russian born fighter living in Norway, protested, but it wasn't enough to convince the referee to overturn his decision.

The 1st round, with Fury looking in better shape than his previous two fights, was all Tyson Fury as he easily used footwork and reach to keep the shorter Peret at a distance while popping his jab. Peret tried rushing a couple times but to no avail.

In round 2, Tyson let loose body shots, and full arsenal and had the usually durable Peret in trouble. But, somewhere in the multitude of punches Peret got cut over the left eye and the round ended with Peret wearing down along with a great punch landing to his midsection.

The ref reviewed the cut and it was all over even thought Peret yelled, "No! Are you crazy!" Clearly there was no way he was going to win this fight and most likely if it wasn't KO the ref would ahve stopped the fight in the next round or 2 regardless of the cut.

Good job on Tyson Fury's 3rd win as a professional. He's looking to fight again soon in 2 weeks March 14th and has called out ANY British fighter to face him. So far so good for Tyson lets see if any British fighters call him out in the next few days. Harrison perhaps?

Here's what Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy had to say about Peret:
