In 2013, heavyweight prospect and future division leader Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) made his first appearance outside of his native UK – he fought in the USA with the local ex-world champion in the lower division Steve Cunningham.
Fury was knocked down in the 2nd round, but managed to seize the initiative – he exhausted his opponent, knocked him out in the 7th round. This is the only early defeat in Cunningham’s career.
With a high degree of probability, in the first half of 2023, Fury will meet Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) in a duel for the title of absolute world champion.
By
opinion Brit, “Cunningham really had good moments in the course of that fight. But I think he was simply better than Usyk. It’s my opinion. As for me, Steve would have beaten him anyway.
Already this Saturday, Fury will defend the WBC belt – he will meet with compatriot Derek Chisora. Keep our prediction and bets for this fight.
Yesterday, the underdog challenger said: “Let’s call a spade a spade – I beat Usyk.” Meanwhile, Fury made a sensational confession: he no longer masturbates.
