Brits laud their new king

By Agence France Presse in London | China Daily | Updated: 2015-11-30 07:57

Britain's Tyson Fury was crowned the new world heavyweight champion on Saturday, ending Wladimir Klitschko's long reign as champion in 12 rounds and sending the British media into overdrive.

"Wladimir Klitschko was beaten by Tyson and Father Time tonight. The performance of a lifetime from Tyson Fury. A brilliant night for British boxing," said BBC commentator Mike Costello.

"Was there ever a more appropriately named champion than Tyson Fury? But there was very little Fury in this fight; Klitschko simply slid to defeat after a brilliant career," said the Guardian's Tom Lutz.
