Tyson Fury is the new heavyweight boxing champion of the world after beating Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko.
Fury, 27, became the WBA, IBF and WBO champion with Saturday evening's win against Klitschko, 39, who was the world champion for almost a decade. While Klitschko is used to being the taller man in the ring, Fury topped him by three inches.
The scores were 115-112, 115-112 and 116-111, all to Fury.
"You’re a great champion Wlad, thanks very much for having me," Fury November 28, 2015
