Tyson Fury is one of the biggest names in boxing right now and has experienced a meteoric rise to a stage where many consider him the best heavyweight on the planet.
Before facing unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, Fury was a fighter who failed to capture the imagination of boxing fans, but his upset win over the Ukrainian catapulted him into the mainstream.
However, what followed was a long personal battle with mental health which kept Fury away from the ring for three years. Once fit and healthy to fight again, it was not long until the Brit found himself challenging for a world title when he faced WBC champion Deontay Wilder in the first of three thrilling meetings.
Fury would go onto win two of these three contests, and now he is on a collision course to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title in the not so distant future.
DAZN takes a look at what Fury has achieved during his career so far.
