When Fury faced Klitschko for the unified world titles, the Ring Magazine belt was also on the line. Fury went to a war with Klitschko that night and out-classed him for all the rounds. It was a historic night for him as he ended the Ukrainian’s alarming dominance in the division.

Following the win, Fury disappeared from the boxing universe for almost three years. However, he returned to accept a couple of more fights until he knocked out Deontay Wilder for the WBC title in February 2020.
