A this day in History Tyson Fury won

A year ago today Tyson Fury made history becoming the lineal heavyweight champion of the World, ending the 11 year reign of Wladimir Klitschko

Fury won a comfortable unanimous decision, with Klitschko only able to land 52 punches on the elusive Fury for the entire fight. The only time in Klitschko's 68 fight career he has lost via a decision.

Simply one of the greatest wins ever by a British fighter.

If You Don't Believe In Something You'll Fall For Anything, But Most Importantly I Rather Know JESUS Than To Lose My Soul To Silver And Gold. #BombZquad #WBC

WBC allows heavyweight failed drug test to go on

BERMANE STIVERNE has failed a drug test ahead of his December 17 meeting with Alexander Povetkin, though the WBC are still allowing the fight to go ahead.The two heavyweights will meet in an eliminator to determine who will become mandatory challenger to Deontay Wilder’s WBC world title.However yesterday the organisation announced that on November 4 Stiverne had tested positive for the banned substance dimethyamylamine. Under the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program he was fined $75,000 – but will still fight Povetkin in Russia.
The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association – which conducts all of the WBC’s drug tests – will design a specific, more stringent protocol for Stiverne ahead of the fight, the costs of which he must pay for himself.The 38-year-old claims he ingested the post-workout recovery supplement SUPERPHARM without knowing it included dimethyamylamine, but under VADA’s rules an athlete is responsible for whatever goes into their body. The WBC took into account that it was Stiverne’s first offence when making its ruling.Earlier in the year Povetkin’s mandated fight with Wilder was scuppered after he failed a drug test shortly before the contest, however due to the minimal amount of banned substance meldonium in his system the WBC have allowed him another chance at becoming their No 1 challenger. Povetkin still denies any wrongdoing.

Anthony Joshua new investment.

ANTHONY JOSHUA, the Olympic gold medallist and IBF heavyweight world champion, is investing in a new state of the art boxing gym in central London.BXR, a members-only fitness facility, will open in January on Chiltern Street in Marylebone. Joshua and the BXR founders have brought together a team of boxing coaches, boxers, MMA fighters as well as sports therapists. With Jamie Reynolds, Joshua’s head strength and conditioning coach, and Dr. Mike Loosemore of CHHP involved, the idea is to offer its members the same kind of support a professional athlete enjoys.

“BXR is a passion project for me. I want people to train like I train. We have pulled together the best coaches, medical teams and equipment in the business and brought the ring to Chiltern Street, offering state of the art training facilities for anyone who wants to join,” Joshua said.

Promoter Eddie Hearn and music producer Mark Ronson are among those on the BXR founding committee.

The site will span 12,000 square feet across ground and lower ground floors, with a full size boxing ring and a range of training equipment. It will also have its own smartphone app to accurately measure and track progress using camera feeds and other analytic tools powered by RNF Digital. As if to confirm it’s a high end operation BXR will have an in-house clinic, interior designers have laid out the site with murals of Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali and even a Danish Juicery will be on hand. BXR are also the sole UK distributor of Di Nardo tailored boxing gloves, made to measure for members and handcrafted in Turin.

George Foreman encourages Tyson Fury

Heavyweight living legend George Foreman has heralded Tyson Fury as “distinctive” and a “maverick” and says that boxing needs him while he urges his linear successor to get back in the ring as soon as possible.

Foreman, in an absorbing interview with the Daily Telegraph’s Gareth Davies, added that the heavyweight division now lacks the buzz for the casual fan whilst Fury takes time away from the sport to deal with personal health issues.‘Big George’ said, “There are a lot of good heavyweights today and I couldn’t have said that two years ago. After Tyson Fury took the title away from [Wladimir] Klitschko, a name was added. He’s a strange fella, but a wild guy with a good style.”

He added, “Fury is distinctive. He’s the maverick. And I think that right now he is at the height of his popularity. Sorry to say, but his troubles brought that. Nobody paid much attention before but now you read that ‘boxer suffers this and that’ and he becomes the same as the rest of us out there. We want to see more of him. It makes him human. We need him, boxing needs him – and he needs us. We all need boxing to get better, so I hope he instantly gets back on his feet.”

The Two-Time Heavyweight Champion of the World, who will be forever remembered for the epic ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ super-fight against Muhammad Ali and for regaining the World Heavyweight Title at 45, sympathises with Fury’s troubles.

He continued, “There’s no apprenticeship with the role. You are either the heavyweight champion of the world or you’re totally not. Once you get to be the champ of the world, all kinds of trouble comes your way. A lot of blessings as well, a lot of wealth. But you have to be prepared and armed against the trouble.”

“The weapon of mass distraction is that microphone. You can get in more trouble with a microphone and a pencil and piece of paper than a time bomb. You’ve got to be careful about what you say.”
