Ben Fury

Boxing is a key element of the travelling culture," says the younger Fury, whose father was handed a long jail sentence in 2011 external-link after causing a man to lose an eye in a brawl. "Before anything else, you learn how to fight. When it was put to him that Klitschko deserved more respect, Fury was unmoved: "This is the fight game. He's an adversary - why would I respect somebody who wants to beat me up?" Put like that, you can see his point. Having boxed at amateur level, Davison worked with two-weight champion Billy Joe Saunders in 2016 before being introduced to Tyson Fury. Wednesday's news conference began with the master of ceremonies welcoming the assembled media "to this rather tranquil part of west London". Five minutes later, Fury, dressed as Batman, was rolling about on the floor with a man dressed as The Joker. It isn't only the passing of more manly traditions that Fury laments. The portrayal of the traveller community in the mainstream media, with its obsessive and exploitative focus on 'big fat' celebrations, external-link also gets his blood up.

Davison concurred with Fury's account and said that it had been his decision, adding that he decided to walk away "on principle". But that has not stopped the pair from staying in touch during the weeks of camp. With Vitali Klitschko having swapped boxing for politics and younger brother Wladimir getting on in years, Fury believes this is his moment. And not before time. Wallin's trainer, Joey Gamache, clutched his towel in the 10th and the concern on his face made it appear he may draw an end to proceedings. His charge deserves immense credit after what was his first bout since the death of his father.

His strength and power went tonight. He was as weak as a kitten from the first round. At 18st 1lb, I've warned him and warned him. He is a 19st fighter.

How to PlayHowever, government rules in Wales currently prohibit fans from attending major sporting events in the country and Smith says a decision must be made soon on whether the fight goes ahead. People want to listen to what I say, whether it's rubbish or facts. And not everyone is as gifted as me in being able to talk rubbish. Anybody can be Mr Boring and sit in the corner and be nice and quiet. But that ain't me. If I'm going somewhere, I'm going to be the life and soul of the place. Wallin, who lost for the first time in 21 outings, was seen as an easy night's work on Fury's route to a rematch with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, but the Swede's come-forward tactics delivered a true scrap. And Fury entered the ring in a style befitting an occasion, sporting a poncho featuring the Mexican flag and a sombrero, and then boarding a parade float for his journey to ringside.

Wallin said: "I did everything I could, I tried my best and Tyson is a great champion. Nobody can question my heart or question that I'm a good fighter." It's discrimination and it's very offensive. There are idiots out there like the people on those programmes but you can find the good and bad in all walks of life. If you go to Wythenshawe, where I was brought up, it's not like that." Mexico's Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has taken this Las Vegas fight night in the past two years, while the likes of Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather have filled the coveted fixture in the past. Speaking to the 5 Live Boxing podcast, Davison said: "I feel like the level of coaching is poor in this country. They're lazy - that's the reality of it. I outwork them - that's the reality of it.We also had officials. Trying to cover the show was difficult. The doctors was also a major issue - we have to look after them the best we can."

Fury insists the reason was simple. "I wanted Ben and SugarHill Steward together but Ben didn't want to do that," he told The Telegraph. "That was that. He resigned. I didn't get rid of him, Ben walked away of his own accord. But he's got other commitments as well. He's training Billy Joe Saunders and I'm over here [in Las Vegas] for months at a time and it's probably worked out for the better. That's the truth and I can't say anymore than the truth."A hard hook on the ropes in the ninth began another onslaught, with Fury glaring into the eyes of his resilient rival on the bell like a man possessed. It was a punch in the third round that drew blood above the eye and Fury displayed greater urgency when officials began to show concern, switching from patient boxing to planting his feet in a bid to land heavy, destructive shots. He has warned us to expect more stunts - "I wouldn't be Tyson Fury if I didn't, and now I'm heavyweight champion of the world I've got the perfect stage" - and didn't rule out releasing a single. The kid certainly has a set of lungs on him. It was a great fight," said Fury afterwards. "I got caught on the eye and that changed the fight. For the majority, I could not see out of the eye, then there was a clash of heads and I got cut again. Klitschko never throws a lot of punches but his punch statistics against Fury made for very grim reading: 52 landed, and only 18 of them power punches, over 36 minutes of boxing. Fury landed with more shots in 11 of the 12 rounds.
