The heavyweight landscape looks intriguing for 2016. In Tyson Fury, we have a new undisputed Heavyweight champion recognized by both Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (TBRB) and The Ring Magazine (alphabet titles ignored).
The new champ also happens to be one of the more colorful characters in boxing. His surprising victory over long-reigning king Wladimir Klitschko has the rest of the top heavyweights now dreaming of holding the biggest prize in individual sports.
Two of these dreamers share the same ring on coming Saturday in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, but they do it as co-features of a doubleheader, not as foes in the ring.
For a while, TBRB #3 contender Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) and TBRB #8 contender Vyacheslav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KOs) were on a path leading to an interesting clash of two top ten contenders, but the fight fell into a quagmire of laughable alphabet politics.
