SUPERLATIVES are often overused in describing sporting achievements, but in the case of Tyson Fury’s astonishing performance against Deontay Wilder to win the WBC heavyweight title they are well deserved. Fury’s fantastic achievement in beating Wilder was a tactical masterclass. He outboxed and even outpunched one of boxing’s most feared punchers. The next step now is surely a unification fight against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua. Let’s sincerely hope that contractual issues and politics between promoters do not deny the public, or indeed the boxers, of this historic fight.
