  By: Hans Themistode
  Lineal Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has fought some decent fighters throughout his career. Contest against Dereck Chisora, Christian Hammer and Kevin Johnson were solid in name, but not what you would call the stiffest of competition. 
  When Fury stepped into the ring against then unified champion Wladimir Klitschko back in 2015, many believed he was both ill-equipped unprepared for that sort of step up. At the time, Klitschko was undefeated over a 10 year span and was

• Caleb Plant Wants David Benavidez Next: “I’m tired of Waiting”

  By: Hans Themistode
  No one was truly shocked to see current IBF Super Middleweight champion Caleb Plant defend his belt this past Saturday night. After all, Vincent Feigenbutz, the opponent who stood across the ring from him on the night, was a complete unknown who lacked the credentials to give Plant a true fight. Upsets in the boxing world happen far more often than many would realize. It was just over 30 years ago that Heavyweight contender James “Buster” Douglass caused argu

• WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman Gives His Take on Wilder vs Fury 2 on Boxing Insider Radio

  18-02-2020 02:58 via boxinginsider.com
  
  The words “big fight” is a cliche often used too much in the sport of boxing. More times than not, what many consider a “big fight,” is merely another day at the office. 
  What exactly qualifies a boxing match as a can't miss, must see contest? Is it the names that are associated with the event? 
  Yes. If you are an unknown commodity, then not many would clamor at the notion to watch you step foot inside of the ring.

• Tyson Fury: The Phoenix

  18-02-2020 02:48 via boxinginsider.com
  
  By: Sean CroseThere was something different about him. You could just tell as you watched him make his American debut back in 2013. Unlike Anthony Joshua six years later, Tyson Fury didn't make his US introduction at a packed Madison Square Garden, he fought at the far more modest Garden Theater. The Englishman's opponent that evening, however, was no joke. For Steve Cunningham was a former cruiserweight champion who knew how to fight.
