Tyson Fury blitzed foe in 48 seconds with blistering combination in fastest KO of his career

By
Tyson Fury

Of his 34 wins (34-2-1, 24 KOs) in the paid ranks, only three have come inside the opening round.

However, one early pro-fight was over in a flash.

Back in April 2009, when Fury was a fresh-faced 20-year-old with a full head of hair, he took on wiley veteran Matthew Ellis in his fifth professional outing at Bethnal Green’s York Hall.

In his prime, Ellis was a solid British heavyweight contender, who once boasted an impressive 18-1 record.

But by the time he squared off against Fury, Ellis was on the decline and had self-admittedly ‘turned up for a payday’.

A matchup between Fury and Joshua has long alluded the boxing world for one reason or another.

Now that both men are without gold and have tasted defeat more than once, there is a belief that the fight could finally come to fruition.

Luke Littler Tyson Fury

Luke Littler will now sail beyond £100million in career earnings according to a leading sports finance expert. The 17-year-old will take home a £500k cheque from Ally Pally as well as the Sid Waddell Trophy, after hammering Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the World Darts Championship final.

A large portion of that will go to HMRC, but Littler’s reaction to the announcement of his cash prize on Friday night spoke volumes as he pointedly raised his eyebrows.

And there are now likely to be ample big paydays to come with the teenage sensation tipped to go on and have a record breaking career.

Having won 10 senior PDC titles in his debut year, and captured the Premier League Darts crown, Littler has attracted a string of high-profile sponsors. His earnings since his spectacular Ally Pally debut a year ago have reportedly surpassed £1m already, and the endorsements are likely to keep piling in after his maiden world title.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, two heavyweights who are currently on a losing streak and have never been more in need of each other and, as a result, have never been closer to sharing a ring.

For Joshua, in particular, there is now a willingness, closer to acceptance or resignation, to take risks in ways that he might have resisted when he was unbeaten or closer to the top of the heavyweight division
