The JP of Professional Boxing

...has made his debut only recently. His name is Tyson Fury (seriously. His first name is Luke.). Yes, he was named after Mike Tyson. He comes from a family of fighters. He's only 20 years old, he's British and he's a monster of a heavyweight: 6 feet 7 or 8 or 9 inches (people who keep records can't seem to decide) and 252 pounds (or 18 stone in British stats!).

As an amateur, he had a 30-4 record with 26 knockouts. He's only had two professional fights so far, both ending in a knockout victory for him. His third fight is Feb. 28.

His trainer, Hennessey (just gotta love the names in the boxing world), thinks he's the next big thing since Lennox Lewis. Ha. We'll see about that. But the kid is big and he's got a big punch.

You will watch this YouTube, even though you're not as into boxing as I am. You will watch it because you will want to see how big this boy is. And you will watch it because the man he is fighting is boxing in a kilt. He gets popped in the kilt once, too.



He also has a blog. It has a chat function, but no one is signed up.

Get with the internet program, Tommy.

Tyson Fury may be the JP of Professional Boxing, but what you fail to realize is that JP is the Tyson Fury of unemployment. We both rock the ring!
