Tyson Fury is the new heavyweight champion of the world after defeating Wladimir Klitschko.

Englishman Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko by unanimous points decision on a sensational night in Germany. The 27-year-old shone throughout the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight title bout in Dusseldorf on Saturday night. 

Fury didn't allow Klitschko to settle and the Ukrainian looked rattled, refusing to throw his right hand properly.

The Mancunian – a 4/1 underdog – baffled Klitschko with a measured fight in which he utilised his height and youth, For Fury there is now the prospect of a huge unification bout with American holder of the WBC title, Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury ended the decade-long reign of the great Wladimir Klitschko with a display of astonishing nerve and virtuosity – just as he said he would.

The 27-year-old Mancunian giant made the near-40-year-old Klitschko look slow and old with elusive daring, his impudent taunting and, above all, with his quickness of hand and foot.
