Tyson Fury reflects on his rise from ambitious youngster to achieving his aim of becoming world heavyweight champion.
At 20-years-old, Tyson Fury had already declared his intention to be world champion. Now, 16 years on, he has the opportunity to do something no heavyweight has achieved for a quarter of a century. The WBC heavyweight title holder faces WBA, WBO and IBF unified king Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday May 18, live on Sky Sports Box Office, in a bid to become the first undisputed champion in boxing's blue-ribband division since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in 1999.
' Fury, whose professional record stands at 34-0-1 , with the sole blemish being a draw in the first part of his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder, has not had a simple road to the top though. Notably, there were his two and a half years out of the ring after defeating Wladimir Klitschko to become unified champion where he was embroiled in a legal fight with UKAD, which was resolved in December 2017, and battled his own personal demons.
