Tyson Fury at Llandudno’s Venue Cymru.

On Thursday, 8th September, 2022, a full house at Llandudno’s Venue Cymru,

was treated to an enthralling and entertaining session with

the reigning WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal

heavyweight champion of the World,

Tyson Fury.

Tyson’s father John gave us a fascinating insight into how

he made sure the young Tyson Fury and his brothers

had a roof over their heads,

were fed properly and also attended school.

Tyson then joined the show and told a packed audience

that from the age of 14 he wanted to defeat

World Boxing Champion Wladimir Klitschko.

This had always been Tyson’s dream goal

and when it was achieved he found there was a void

in his Boxing career which was soon to cause him

numerous problems.

From 18 stone heavyweight to 28 stone overweight.

From being an eighteen stone heavyweight fighting machine,

Tyson became a 28 stone overweight.

There were alcohol and drug issues to contend with

but eventually he conquered these demons.

Deontay Wilder becomes the main target.

Tyson was determined to fight Wilder

and after months of severe training he thought he was ready

to take him on in Paradise, Nevada, USA.

This was not a view shared by Tyson’s wife and family.

Traumatic Videos.

Watching videos of Wilder proved very traumatic

for Tyson’s wife, father and brothers.

They didn’t want the fight to go ahead

as Wilder’s punching was venomous.

Controversial Draw.

The contest did go ahead

and ended in a controversial draw.

This bout was the first of a trinity of fights

during which Wilder knocked Tyson

down on ten occasions.

Every time Tyson picked himself up,

dusted himself down and continued the fight.

After the three fights with Wilder,

Tyson was the WBC Heavyweight 

Champion of the World.

After his victory over Dillian Whyte

Tyson told the press  he had decided to retire from Boxing.

Tyson found retirement hard work

and returned to the ring once again.

Fury v Joshua is on the cards.

Tyson has challenged Anthony Joshua

to a ‘Battle Of Britain’ contest

with a 60-40 split purse.

Tyson wants the fight to take place

at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff,

in late November or early December 2022.

The venue has yet to be decided and Joshua

has yet to accept the challenge

at the time of writing this report.

Goodbye American Pie. 

To close an excellent evening of entertainment

we had a duet featuring Tyson

and the show’s Geordie compere

singing Don McClean’s

American Pie.

Very appropriate, as it was a case of

‘Goodbye American Pie’

good evening UK

and welcome to the Fury/Joshua contest.

Watch this space as they say

for further news.
