10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Tyson Fury

Fury has always been a character in the boxing community, but the moment that catapulted him into superstardom was his shocking win over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to become the unified world heavyweight champion.

Fury's victory stunned the fight world; a major underdog against bookies favourite Klitschko going into the contest, he outboxed the champion from range, frustrated him, and (unlike previous challengers) avoided going all-out for the knockout, instead aiming for a win on points.

The three judges all scored the fight in favour of Fury, who won by unanimous decision and ended Wladimir Klitschko's world heavyweight reign of nearly ten years. Fury serenaded his wife in the ring following the decision and was humble in the post-match press conference, saying:-

"If I could be half as good a champion as Wladimir Klitschko, I'd be very very happy."
