Fury’s rise to prominence can be attributed to his success in becoming a two-time world heavyweight champion. He first won the unified WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles in 2015 by defeating Wladimir Klitschko in a major upset. After a hiatus from the sport due to personal and mental health issues, Fury made a triumphant return, eventually capturing the WBC heavyweight title by defeating Deontay Wilder in 2020. The trilogy with Wilder, including their memorable fights in 2018, 2020, and 2021, further cemented Fury’s legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights of his era.
