Tyson Fury is the new heavyweight champion of the world.

The British fighter did a demolition job on reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko and scored a unanimous decision over the Ukrainian. Fury put in a heroic performance throughout the 12-round fight and looked the sharper, stronger and more up-for-it fighter in pretty much every round. Klitschko was laboured and struggled to deal with Fury's range, movement and overall output The Ukrainian didn't land anything of significance in the opening stanzas while Fury attacked from the outside with a jerky style that made it impossible for Klitschko tos ettle. Fury was the busier fighter throughout and opened a cut below the champ's left eye. It was only in the final round that Klitschko came to life and went for his rival, but the 6ft 9in Brit weathered the late storm to win. It wasn't pretty, it won't go down as a classic, but Fury is the new heavyweight champion and the boxing world lapped it up. https://twitter.com/SpecialKBrook/status/670742861084803072 https://twitter.com/RealCFrampton/status/670742859398651905 https://twitter.com/luke11campbell/status/670742317251325952 https://twitter.com/bjsaunders_/status/670742299618463744 https://twitter.com/HitmanHatton/status/670742275086008320 https://twitter.com/TomKongWatson/status/670742272611393536 https://twitter.com/AmirKingKhan/status/670742246032019457 https://twitter.com/ChrisEubankJr/status/670741879521214465 https://twitter.com/RealCFrampton/status/670741619151343616 https://twitter.com/audleyharrison/status/670741371716632576 https://twitter.com/ClonesCyclone/status/670745000821571585
