British heavyweight Tyson Fury will fight Wladimir Klitschko for the Ukrainian's world heavyweight titles in Dusseldorf, Germany on October 24.

Fury, who is unbeaten in 24 fights, successfully defended his European heavyweight title in London in March.

Klitschko, 39, is WBA, IBF and WBO champion and has not lost for 11 years.

Fury, 26, said on Twitter he could not wait for what would be the "best fight in heavyweight history" and added he would knock out Klitschko.

The fight will be a record-breaking 28th heavyweight title bout for Klitschko and his 19th defence in his second reign as world champion.

Speaking after he beat Bryant Jennings in his last fight in April, he said he was "ready" for Fury.

The 6ft 9in Manchester fighter beat Romania's Christian Hammer in his most recent contest.

Lets see if he backs out again; he was practically set to fight Wladimir a couple of years ago, but he went for David Haye instead (which never happened, due to Haye's injuries). I'm just gonna say bye bye to his perfect record now to save time.

Does Wladimir Klitschko have any following in the US at all? We know they don't, but if Boxing had any brains they would get this fight on CBS. When was the last time a heavyweight title match has been on network TV? Why Boxing is just letting MMA (which I prefer) continue to run them over is beyond me.

Because it will be a 12 round decision, with sound technical boxing, and therefore an even worse sale than a Floyd fight? Klitschko is the farthest thing from Mike Tyson there is.

Probaby but Boxing still should have a heavyweight title fight on network TV (it be free so no one will feel ripped off) sometime in the next decade...

For that you need an interesting champion to justify expending the air time. Maybe if Deontay Wilder starts fighting guys that matter...

 

Damn, those guys beat the ###### out of each other.

 

I want to see this guy fighting Klitchko 

 

He already lost to Vitali, and badly. He was mauled to bits. Wladimir would crush him over 12 rounds.

Yeah but he is hilarious. 

 

Boxing needs to be fun again. 

 

Tyson was insane, which made it lots of fun to wach.

  • 2 weeks later...

why they haven't merges to a unified championship title already?

 

You haven't followed boxing in quite a while, right?

 

Basically, to fight for a belt and make money, you have to pay belt fees. Different organizations have no interest in unifying their belts, since that means less money rolling in. So it will NEVER happen. Some guy will just have 20 or 30 belts. Look at Floyd, he got one of his belts stripped because he didn't want to pay the fee. He's so famous (and near retirement) that it doesn't matter in the big picture, but most guys on "normal" shows need a belt to get the money rolling from CBS and HBO. So... alphabet soup organizations are here to stay, sadly.

wow.  i am suddenly WAY more interested in the fight! :woot:

 

since i am not a huge fan, i always though that klichko fights were super boring.   nice to see a tall man with same/bigger reach then him, promising to make it personal :)

 

i will be betting against klitcho, btw.      not much, but i definitely put some money down.

If I were you, I'd save your money. Fury won't win; he's all talk and no trousers.

Yeah he's had no real competition whatsoever other than journey men and fat sacks of crap

Put it a lot better than I could. (Y) Anthony Joshua's in the same position, but unlike Fury, he's actually got the potential to be champion (plus, he's not an arrogant ######).

    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
