Fury's win against long-reigning world champion Wladimir Klitschko was deemed the Upset of the Year in 2015, according to The Ring. He won the Irish and WBO Inter-Continental titles, before defeating Chisora again in a 2014 rematch for the European and WBO International heavyweight titles. 

Tyson was stripped of his IBF title 10 days after the Klitschko bout as he was unable to grant a fight with the IBF's mandatory challenger, Vyacheslav Glazkov, due to a rematch clause in his contract with Klitschko.
