This Christmas present given to Floyd Mayweather during his time in Moscow, Russia has already earned the retired Boxing legend quite a bit of criticism.

Tyson Fury said he would become the heavyweight champion of the world. He was right. The action was limited while Fury worked his jab to control the fight and keep Wladimir Klitschko off balance this Saturday night. Fury connected with more punches landing 86 of 371 punches to Klitschklo’s 52 of 310 punches. The Lancashire puncher ended the reign of boxing’s most dominant heavyweight of the 21st century to capture the WBA Super, WBO and IBF titles in the ESPRIT arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Wladimir Klitschko, from Ukraine, who is the current WBA Super, WBO, IBO, and IBF champion (64-3-53 KO), chose Paffen gloves for the bout, but Tyson Fury (24-0-18KO) found the test pair uncomfortable during training. A second test pair was approved by Fury, but his camp is still waiting for a brand new pair to be made and delivered in time for the clashing of heavyweight champions in Dusseldorf, Germany. “He’s had it all his own way in every single aspect and all I ask is that I’m treated fairly and to wear gloves which fit me, for the sake of my hands. Because this is not my last fight. After I knock him out, I’ll have other fights and I need my hands for my trade,” Fury said.

Holly Holm has been all over the place since taking the UFC women’s bantamweight championship belt from Ronda Rousey at UFC 193. Holm was in attendance at the Canelo versus Cotto boxing match that happened over the weekend at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Tyson Fury from Manchester, England has a professional record of 24-0 with 18 wins by KO and will be fighting Wladamir Klitschko 64-3 with 53 wins by KO for the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF belts. Klitschko seeks only the WBC title to achieve the heavyweight title unification this Saturday in Germany. With all the doping in sports, Fury has taken a reverse psychology approach to the fairness of testing and feels that in an “all or nothing” approach to sports, doping is his solution to fix the problem. Fury, in a statement, also stated that he does not use or condone the use of any performance enhancing drugs himself. “I can look at a man and tell you if he’s full of drugs by one glance at his body with his top off. Boxing has got a big problem with drugs, but it doesn’t bother me because at the end of the day, it’s about determination over drugs.”

Canelo Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) has little time to bask in the glory of winning the WBC middleweight 160 lb. championship title.

According to Canelo, he is ready for the fight with Golovkin. Max Kellerman interviewed the new champ after the fight on the potential super fight (transcribed by Bloody Elbow):
