TYSON FURY: THE JOURNEY SO FAR

THE HIGHS

In 2011, the 'Gypsy King' claimed the British and Commonwealth titles against Dereck Chisora in his 15th fight.

Three years later, a rematch was announced, with Fury winning the European title.

In 2015,  Fury did what many believed was the unthinkable by beating long-reigning world heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified king of the division.

THE LOWS

In June 2016, A rematch with Klitschko is cancelled following injury and a failed drugs test relating back to February 2015.

In September 2016, Fury is declared "medically unfit to fight" with the British star suffering with depression and his rematch called off again.

Fury reveals issues with alcoholism and drug-related problems.

He is suspended by the governing body, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) in October 2016 as investigations continued in anti-doping and medical issues.

THE COMEBACK

In December 2017, Fury's comeback is on after accepting a backdated two-year ban with United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD).

In January 2018, BBBofC lifts suspension on Fury's licence, handing him the green light to resume his boxing career.

He returns to the ring in June 2018, beating Sefer Seferi and then Francesco Pianeta in August.

Fury will face WBC champion Deontay Wilder on December 1st at Staples Center, Los Angeles
