A partnership to showcase as the main attraction with ESPN

A boxing affair delegated as a co-promotion by Top Rank and Queensberry Promotions. The confirmation is a pair of schedule bouts in the calendared year. This will only broaden the footprint of network competence as a caveat to the bilateral ESPN+ and ESPN network respectively in their streaming charter based locally in the mecca of boxing – USA.

“Top Rank is very excited to enter into the promotional arrangement along with Queensberry Promotions for the lineal heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury,” Arum said. “He is a generational heavyweight talent at the peak of his powers. We also look forward to our growing relationship with MTK Global, which represents so many world-class fighters.”

Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) earned the lineal heavyweight crowns on 15 November with a decision win over previous foe Wladimir Klitschko, a grand feat indeed disbursing a fighter with the register as Klischko, who title defenses rocketed an impeccable 18 times as an elite boxing superstar who will truly be a first ballot hall of famer.

Fury revisted the sport following an untimely hiatus due to sobriety mischief that accrued the Lineal heavyweight champion to addition a heavier title on the scales toppling at 400 lbs. Then and now photos are amazing and a nodding commentary with adulation to witness such a dramatic training regime to shed not only an addiction but unwanted payload of an extensive weight gain. The “Gypsy King” is back, hosting two heavyweight outings which fell short of the hype but represented well when he met current WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder under the bright lights in a championship showpiece in Las Angles.

These two battle for twelve rounds. Wilder the more active with his punching declaration but Fury dialing in his accuracy with much more effective pocket placement, footwork, and combinations in pockets for the stanza. Thunderous moments would play out for Wilder in earning two game changing knock downs for the bronzebomber leading to a twelfth round three-punch firestorm hitting the mark. Down goes Fury – Down goes Fury. Referee Jack Reiss active on the count would be clouded with compunction for an alleged longer than a normal ten count but to know avail Fury arose from the brink of defeat to answer the final bell.
Split decision draw beckoned jeers from those in attendance but never the less has docketed a rematch potential for May 12 2019.

Seeing Fury back in the hunt, maybe his discipline on this second championship journey do right in lighted areas of boxing success, than transient those ominous temptations of panglossian clouds of drugs and alcohol. The boxing aficiandos are deserving of a heavyweight showcase to solidify who is the titian of the division. At this point, Wilder has summon all comers, even that of Joshua who has wittered to contend outside a unification bout for a match up with Jarell “Big Baby Miller mid year in MSG.
