Known previously for his provocations rather than for his sporting achievements, the Englishman Tyson Fury surprised by robbing titles WBA / IBF / WBO heavyweight Vladimir Klitschko Ukrainian, after 12 times Saturday, November 28 in Düsseldorf (Germany). Fury had repeatedly said that his youth (27 years) would take precedence over the experience of almost forty champion, undefeated since 2004. On the ring in the heart of a stadium of 55 000 seats, Mr. Fury joined the act to the word: very active, he was able to keep Klitschko in awe, making unanimous among the three judges (115-112 twice and 116-111)
The native of. Manchester (United Kingdom) remained unbeaten in 25 fights (18 by the deadline), while Mr. Klitschko conceded their first defeat since 2004, the fourth in a rich career of 64 of which 54 successfully signed before the limit. “I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for guiding me to victory” , said the new king of the top category in tears. “Revenge is needed, it is no doubt” , said for his part the fallen champion after a fight ended with bloody right eyebrow and left cheek reddened.
The clash between the two giants (1.98 m and 2.06 m for Klitschko Fury) – doubt has hovered over her outfit when the Fury camp felt too soft ring during the day – not is expected sparks. The ex-champion has sought the opening between the long arms of a rival for its highly mobile 112 kg and playing the card of physical and verbal provocation in the early times. The few blows were more active challenger, leaving the Ukrainian late points in mid-combat.
A Found KO
There was a little more action at the 7th recovery, including good sequences of Fury, which still lacked any opportunity to cause his opponent in boxing such arms in the back. The defending champion had clearly increasingly need a knockout to make a difference. But neither his few lines (9) Neither point deducted for Fury repeated blows behind the head (11) or another end of the fight in favor of the Ukrainian face a visibly exhausted rival could not change the outcome.
In the final gong, the two rivals have lifted the winner in arms, with much less certainty on the part of Klitschko and his brother Vitali, now retired former champion WBC.
