Fury v Klitschko 2

Fury forced Klitschko, to punch himself out. Klitschko began to be overwhelmed in the 10 round and went down twice but was allowed to continue. At the start of the 11th round, with Fury continuing to land hard punches, Klitschko's trainer, Fritz Sdunek, threw the towel in and stopped the fight

Fury v Haye

Haye started fast and alarmingly caught Fury with constant barrages of power punches over the first few rounds. Fury however used his quickness to get out of them well. Gradually, despite the early punishment he received, Fury warmed up and worked his way into the fight whilst Haye seemed to tire and slow down. Fury began to pressure Haye and knocked Haye down with a chopping right hand in round 5. With 7 seconds left in the round, Fury landed 2 jabs followed by a flush right hand which cleanly caught a fatigued Haye, and compelled Haye's corner to throw in the towel; Fury lead on 1 scorecard, Haye lead on 2 scorecards before the stoppage

Fury v Miller

Fury defeated Miller by TKO in the 9th round. Fury had a tougher time as Miller pressured him many times. The fight was stopped by the referee and Miller's corner during the 9th round due to Millersuffering a hand injury. The injury had been a problem for Miller from the early rounds but seemed to get worse to the point where Miller was no longer using his right hand from round 7, other than for just an occasional shot. With the injury, Miller was unable to hold back Miller. The ringside doctor ended the fight at 1:02 of round 9.

In the post fight interview, Fury said, “He hit me with a couple of shots, and it hurt me. The main thing was to try and stay on his chest. I gave myself a rating of an F, because it wasn’t my best performance and I was lighter". For the fight, Miller landed 204 of 620 punches thrown (33%), whilst Miller landed 95 of 328 (29%).

Fury v Ortiz

From the opening bell, both fighters fought tentatively, avoiding risks. Fury retreated onto the outside, fighting at a distance and remaining invulnerable for Ortiz who tried to establish his right jab but had his right hand constantly pushed down by Fury. By the end of the opening round, Fury became more active with his jab, while Ortiz unsuccessfully tried to catch Fury with a series of right and left hooks. By the 3rd round, Fury took control of the centre of the ring, keeping Ortiz at the end of his left jab and occasionally throwing right jabs as well. In the 5th round, Fury caught Ortiz with a straight right hand, however Ortiz appeared to be unhurt. Most of Ortiz's attempts to close the distance ended with Fury tying him up. In the second half of the fight, the situation did not change, with Fury keeping Ortiz at the distance with straight shots, while Ortiz was only able to occasionally catch Fury with single shots to the body. Ortiz's corner was almost silent from the 6th round onwards, unable to give their man any meaningful advice. Fury's dominance became even more visible after he caught Ortiz with a straight right in round 7, almost knocking him down. He caught Ortiz again with a counter left hook in the at the end of the 9th. The 10th round saw Ortiz unsuccessfully trying to catch Fury with overhand shots. Ultimately, the fight went the distance, with Klitschko being declared the winner by unanimous decision. The judges scored the bout 119–110, 117–111 and 118–110

Fury v Wilder 1

Wilder and Fury would later challenge each other, a fight was accepted between the two, with New York agreed as the location to allow British boxing fans a chance to see it. Fury signed a 2 fight deal after beating with Wilder in 2018. Wilder wanted the 2nd fight to take place at Las Vegas, Fury accepted.

Fury started the fight on the front foot and looking sharper than Wilder, who looked rusty and like a boxer that had not fought for nearly a year. It was the Fury jab that proved the most effective punch, with his short clubbing left also finding the target throughout. Wilder rocked Fury in the 2nd and had his man in trouble in the 3rd and 4th but the challenger cleared his head and dominated from there on in.

Fury boxed well throughout, throwing some beautiful combinations while never looking like ending the fight early, with Wilder cutting a battered, bloodied and disheartened figure as the fight wore on.

At one stage his corner threatened to pull Wilder out of the fight in an attempt to spark him into life, but it made little difference.

He was constantly worn down by Fury's physical dominance and relentless work rate and despite a 30-second burst from Wilder in the 10th, he never looked liked turning the fight around.

The champion knew he needed a stoppage in the final round but he lacked energy and intensity as Fury managed to keep the disappointing Wilder at length to take the fight and world titles on points.

Fury v Wilder 2

Wilder invoked his rematch clause after losing his heavyweight title.

The opening bell rang, and Fury set the tone by going right at Wilder. He didn't give Wilder much room to breathe, backing him up with the jab and the right hand.

The fight shifted and remained on Fury's side when he used a left hook and then a right hand to send Wilder to the canvas in the 2nd round. Even though Wilder got back up, he never looked the same the remainder of the contest — the former champion had shaky legs and a busted eardrum. From there, Fury started to put all 273 pounds onto Wilder to only fatigue him more. In the beginning of the 3rd round, Fury bent in and dug a hard left hand to the body to send Wilder down for the 2nd time. It was only a matter of time before Fury closed the show, as Wilder had no answer for the onslaught. Fury saw an opening to begin the 4th round when he hit Wilder with a left hand to send him into the corner. All Wilder could do was turtle up in the corner, as Fury uncorked 3 consecutive left hands and then a barrage of shots but no knockdown and saved by the bell.

The doctor concluded Wilder is beginning to display overt signs of a concussion and gross motor instability (GMI) such as confusion and disorientation, impaired balance and coordination and thus told the referee to stop the fight, which he did awarded Fury a TKO victory by medicial stoppage.

After beating Wilder for the 2nd time, Wilder was hit with a 6-week boxing suspension, Wilder cannot spar until April 8 or fight until April 28.

Fury v Wilder 3

Wilder and Fury agreed to fight in Britain, with Manchester United's Old Trafford chosen, Fury's hometown and boyhood club.

Unlike Seferi, Pianeta at least tried to win. The slow-footed veteran was just no match for Fury’s skill level, though.

Fury hit Pianeta with two hard body shots just before the midway mark of the 10th round.

With Pianeta backed against the ropes, Fury landed a straight left hand late in the ninth round. Pianeta took that shot well and waved Fury forward to let him know that flush punch didn’t hurt him.

Fury connected with a right uppercut earlier in the ninth that snapped back Pianeta’s head.

Fury was more aggressive in the eighth round. He backed Pianeta into the ropes during that round and landed to Pianeta’s body.

Gray gave Pianeta time to recover from a Fury left hand Gray ruled landed low with 1:30 to go in the seventh round. Fury drilled Pianeta with a straight right hand with about a minute remaining in the seventh.

Gray warned Fury for leading with his head midway through the sixth round. Fury caught Pianeta with a left hook with about 55 seconds to go in the sixth.

Fury’s defense was impressive in the fifth round, as he avoided Pianeta’s power shots and occasionally landed jabs.

Fury began letting his hands go early in the fourth round. He landed two combinations in that round and appeared to start getting into a rhythm in those three minutes.

Pianeta connected with a left hand about 30 seconds into the third round. Pianeta also landed a right hook late in the third round, during which Fury mostly moved out of Pianeta’s punching range and worked off his jab.

Fury used his jab to control the distance during a mostly uneventful second round.

Fury moved well during the first round, when he landed a solid right hand with about 1:20 left in it. Pianeta trapped Fury in a corner about 40 seconds into the fight, but he couldn’t land a flush punch.

Wilder wished his corner would have allowed him to continue: “I just wish that my corner would’ve let me go out on my shield," Wilder said in his post-fight interview. "I’m a warrior. That’s what I do.” Wilder was once again hit with a 6-week boxing suspension, Wilder cannot spar until April 8 or fight until April 28.

Professional boxing record
Fury was banned from competing in boxing for 2 years in June 2016 for failing 2 drug tests: a banned steroid nandrolone took in December 2015 but UKAD did not charge until June 2016, and cocaine, Fury cited problems with depression after the positive test for cocaine. As a result, the British Boxing Board of Control stripped Fury of his boxing licence, Fury was stripped of all of his world heavyweight titles. Fury's rematch against Klitschko on 9 July 2016 was cancelled. Fury denied the steroid claim and his legal team says the result of tests from February and December 2015 are contradictory and thus Fury took the UKAD to court. Fury’s legal team argued that his B-sample was clean, as were his blood tests, and any trace of a banned substance was a direct result of ingesting contaminated meat.

Joseph Parker beat Andy Ruiz Jr. by majority decision to win the vacant WBO heavyweight title. Price would beat Parker who also defended his IBF heavyweight title. Deontay Wilder beat Chris Arreola to win the vacant WBA heavyweight title

Fury said he had "no motivation" to train, gained an extreme amount of weight as he weighed over 330 pounds (150 kg), Fury's mental health deteriorated, started drink a lot of alcohol. On 4 December 2016, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Fury said “I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off, this has got nothing to do with my fighting – what I’m going through right now is my personal life. I've not been in a gym for months. I've been going through depression. I just don't want to live anymore, if you know what I’m saying. I've had total enough of it. Never mind cocaine. I just didn't care. I don't want to live anymore. So cocaine is a little minor thing compared to not wanting to live anymore. I am seeing help, but they can't do nothing for me. What I've got is incurable. I don't want to live. All the money in the world, fame and glory, means nothing if you're not happy. I'm seeing psychiatrists. They say I've got a version of bipolar. I'm a manic depressive. I don't even want to wake up. I hope I die every day. And that's a bad thing to say when I've got 3 children and a lovely wife isn't it? But I don't want to live anymore. And if I could take me own life – and I wasn't a Christian – I'd take it in a second. I just hope someone kills me before I kill me self. I'll have to spend eternity in hell. I’ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine. I can’t deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of me mind."

Fury was about to return fighting on the undercard of Josh Warrington vs Kiko Martinez at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on 13 May 2017. Hours after Fury's comeback announcement, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) publicly announced that Fury was still suspended and would not be fighting in May. This was confirmed by their general secretary Robert Smith.

On 8 November 2017, BBC Sport reported that a National Anti-Doping Panel hearing was due to take place in December. Due to the legal battle between Fury and UKAD, it was believed that UKAD could potentially become insolvent or would need a government bail out. UKAD reportedly have an annual budget of £8 million, and the fact that Fury had not fought for two years would have caused potential loss of earnings, possibly over £10 million. UKAD asked the government if they could underwrite the case. On 23 November, according to Robert Smith of the BBBofC, a hearing was set for a date in December 2017. On 25 November 2017, Fury announced his comeback after signing with managerial group MTK Global. On 7 February 2018, UKAD revealed they spent £585,659 on the Fury case. £576,587 was paid to London law firm Bird & Bird, barrister fees came to £1,130 and around £8,000 was paid for laboratory work. UKAD believed they could regain £250,000 through legal insurance.

On 12 December, UKAD announced they had agreed with the Furys and the BBBoC to resolve the charges; Fury would drop his case and accept a backdated ban in exchange that Fury's victory against Klitschko in a rematch is not overturned due to no adverse analytical findings or adverse passport findings were reported in respect of any of the urine and/or blood samples collected from either boxer. The bans were backdated to December 13, 2015, expiring on December 13, 2017. UKAD also said Tyson Fury did not knowingly or deliberately committed a violation

In June 2017, Fury's uncle Peter announced that Fury would be returning in 2018 and would aim for a fight against WBC champion Deontay Wilder. On 23 July, Fury tweeted that he was back in training ahead of a ring return around April or May 2018. His tweet read, "I've had a nightmare 2017, done a lot of stuff I'm not proud of, but my promise to you I'll return in 2018."

On 12 December, Fury regained his boxing license and was cleared to fight again in December 2017 as long as he sent BBBoC up-to-date medical records after visiting a psychologist, and began training for his comeback around the same time. Fury announced that he intended to fight at least 4 times before 2019, starting in February at the Manchester Arena. Wanting to fight someone in top 20 then someone in top 10 and then top 5 before fighting Wilder.
