Tyson Fury has had a difficult few years with several fights being canceled, but now he has made up for lost time, once again beating his rival Dereck Chisora and earning a shot at the heavyweight title. He will face Wladimir Klitschko, the husband-to-be of his pregnant partner Hayden Panettiere. Will the strong, British contender be able to get anywhere near Wlad in the ring, and if so, can he raise his in-ring game enough to get the vital win, making himself the heavyweight champion of the world?
After his victory, Tyson explained to Yahoo!: "Which other heavyweight in the world can box southpaw against a world-class fighter like Dereck, a fighter who will give any other heavyweight a tough fight? I'm very proud of my performance."
Tyson's promoter Mick Hennessey added: "Tyson's mandatory now for the heavyweight world title. Wladimir Klitschko's being allowed one more fight in March or April, then it'll be purse bids, then the fight's on. It'll be June to September. The big fight is on, and Klitschko has to just take it and not swerve it."
Would Wlad be frightened of Tyson? His opponent is tall, strong and likes to bully opponents, much like the champion himself. Could a carbon copy be what it takes to knock Wlad out? Time will tell.
Now Tyson has a shot at a world title, according to the BBC, but will he fall short as the many who've tried before him have? The exciting fight will top an exciting summer of boxing bouts, but until then, we can all wonder if Fury can beat him.
