Tyson Fury earns unanimous decision over Wladimir Klitschko for world title Boxing

Tyson Fury, named after Mike Tyson, joined the Hall of Famer in the annals of heavyweight history as he pulled off a massive upset and dethroned long-reigning world champion Wladimir Klitschko by unanimous decision on Saturday at ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany, where the pro-Klitschko crowd sat in disbelief by what was unfolding.

Fury did not look particularly good but he was busier, landed more punches and had the spring in his step Klitschko did not. The 39-year-old Klitschko appeared to grow old in the ring as he was outhustled throughout the fight by the 27-year old British mandatory challenger.
In the end, there would be no miracle comeback, even though Klitschko's trainer, Johnathon Banks, told Klitschko in no uncertain terms that he needed a knockout to win as early as following the 10th round.
When it was over, Fury and his team celebrated as though they knew they had won. There was no such celebration in the Klitschko corner as ring announcer Michael Buffer read the judges' scorecards. Ramon Cerdan scored the fight 116-111 while judges Raul Caiz Sr. and Cesar Ramos both had it 115-112. ESPN also scored the fight 115-112 for Fury, who won Klitschko's cadre of alphabet title belts and the lineal championship.
"This is a dream come true," said an emotional Fury, who broke down in tears in the ring after the fight. "We worked so hard for this. I've done it.
"It's hard to come to foreign countries and get decisions. It just means so much to me to come here and get the decision."
