Tyson Fury put in years of groundwork that led to him dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. The Brit turned pro in 2008 and developed his skills for seven years before finally conquering the world. However, in that time he was also laying the foundations mentally, as well as physically. SKY SPORTS Klitschko and Fury sat down together for Sky’s ‘Gloves Are Off’ programme During his time as heavyweight king, long-reigning champion Klitschko often recruited the world’s top prospects for sparring.

In Iran, one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis, a complex web of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration—and abetted by Congress members of both parties—is choking off critical medical supplies to a country desperately in need. While this dip in supply is not new, the scale of the harm is, as doctors frantically try to respond to a catastrophe that now includes 16,169 confirmed cases and 988 deaths in Iran – numbers that are rising by the day. Amid these dire circumstances, the Trump administration announced sometime in March that it was imposing a fresh round of sanctions on the country. On March 12 Iran’s Health Ministry reported dire shortages of key suppli
