Fury, a Manchester United fan, represented both Ireland and England at amateur levelUnbeaten Fury, written off beforehand by many pundits, was clocking up his 25th straight win.Before Saturday, Klitschko had 65 wins from 68 professional fights stretching back to 1996, and he can take some consolation from the fact he surpassed Joe Louis' previous record of 28 heavyweight world title fights.There may yet be a rematch although victory over America's WBC champion Deontay Wilder, if that fight could be made, would make Fury the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Britain's Lewis in 2000.Other potential opponents include compatriot Haye - who twice pulled out of a fight against Fury in 2013 and is making a comeback in January - and Britain's Olympic champion Anthony Joshua, who is unbeaten in 14 professional fights, all by knockout.Joshua's next fight is against Dillian Whyte for the vacant British title on 12 December and while 2016 is probably too soon for a fight against Fury, it could happen the following year.

"[Sky pundit] Johnny Nelson told me he was training on the same canvas in Austria in his training camp. Tyson beat Wladimir, but what if he faced a prime Vitali Klitschko?It’s time for another fantasy boxing matchup!
All I had to do was go in there, play my part and win." Tyson was full of himself but the difference here was he lived up to all that bravado andbrashness.I suppose you could say he is a one off and Klitscho certainly found that.I wonder how long he goes without uttering another outdated bigoted view.

Then they wrote me off because I had 10 changes of trainers. If we get past this thing, which hopefully we will, then we're going to keep boxing and just keep taking on contenders. Many have felt over the years that while Wladimir may in fact have been the more skilled boxer — he was — he almost certainly would not have beaten Vitali head-to-head in a world where they were the exact same fighters but not brothers.Vitali (career record of 45-2, 41 KO) simply had a toughness and aggression that Wladimir often lacked, which some may now argue with, but that’s how they were seen in the moment for the bulk of their careers.
