Tyson Fury: Bigger than boxing

Sometimes in sports, there are more important things than winning. Tyson Fury is a unique specimen of a fighter, standing at 6’9” with an 85-inch reach. In 2015 Fury won the unified heavyweight titles after defeating long-reigning champion Wladmir Klitischko. While that is impressive, his second act has been far more impressive. Fury fell on hard times, suffering from mental health issues and addiction, and he was stripped of his titles. After two years of inactivity, Fury once again challenged for the heavyweight title, this time against Deontay Wilder. The fight ended in a controversial draw and Wilder retained the title. But Fury accomplished something that very few ever have against Wilder, and he kicked off one of the greatest comebacks in combat sports.
