Tyson Fury is widely regarded as the single best heavyweight fighter on the planet. Consequently, here at SportsLens we have decided to take a deep dive into Tyson Fury’s record. Here is everything you need to know about Fury’s resumé and the boxing record of ‘The Gypsy King’.
Tyson Fury Record
Tyson Fury fought in a combat crossover bout against former UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou on October 28th in Saudi Arabia. This is a fight that Fury should have won with ease on paper. He was odds on with the best boxing betting sites to win, which he did, but was given a huge scare having been knocked down by Ngannou during their crossover clash.
The fight everyone wants to see is of course the undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk. That fight is now set for May 18th with every single world title belt on the line at heavyweight. Boxing fans cannot wait to see who is crowned the king at heavyweight.
Up to now in his professional career, ‘The Gypsy King’ has barely put a foot wrong. In his 35 professional fights to date, the Englishman has had his hand raised all but once. Of course, that one fight Fury didn’t win was the draw with Deontay Wilder in the first of their three fights back in December 2018.
Of those 34 victories, the British heavyweight has finished 24 of his opponents inside the scheduled distance. Fury made his professional debut back in December 2008, winning his first seven fights as a pro before claiming his first belt. He beat John McDermott on points to go to 8-0, claiming the English Heavyweight Title in the process.
Fury then won another six fights, going to 14-0 before facing Derek Chisora – this time for the British Heavyweight Title. In the first of three career fights with Chisora, Fury outpointed ‘Del Boy’ via unanimous decision to add a second belt to his collection.

In his next seven fights, Fury won them all, extending his record to 22-0, picking up the Commonwealth and Irish Titles in the process. Then came a rematch with Chisora, this time with the European Heavyweight Title on the line too. This time, Fury put on an onslaught and Chisora retired in his corner at the end of Round 10.
Then, Fury had one more fight before challenging Wladimir Klitschko for three of the four recognised World Heavyweight Titles. Against all odds, Fury beat Klitschko via unanimous decision, winning The Ring Magazine, WBA-Super, IBF & WBO World Heavyweight Titles. Fury had recognised his lifelong dream of becoming heavyweight champion at the first time of asking.
However, Fury then went AWOL for almost three years, gaining over 10 stone in weight, drinking heavily and even taking recreational drugs too. However, to his credit, Fury didn’t let that define him and instead fought back. ‘The Gypsy King’ made his comeback in June 2018 in Manchester, defeating Sefer Seferi via stoppage in four rounds.
Fury then had one more fight at Windsor Park in Northern Ireland before facing Deontay Wilder for the WBC World Heavyweight Title in December 2018. The fight went down in history, with Fury rising from unconsciousness on the canvas to get a draw with Wilder, and potentially even doing enough to win the fight in the eyes of boxing fans.

The 35-year-old then defeated Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin before the Wilder rematch. This time, Fury didn’t leave it in the hands of the judges, knocking ‘The Bronze Bomber’ out in seven rounds to become a two-time world heavyweight champion. The Wilder trilogy was next, with Fury once again winning the fight via knockout.
The 1988-born boxing superstar then fought Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, before facing Derek Chisora in a trilogy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury won both fights via knockout, before facing Francis Ngannou last time out in their crossover clash. Fury was given a huge scare, but did come through against the former UFC heavyweight king – winning via split decision.
