The heavyweight championship of the world? To dream it but then to carry it through, to stay undefeated and to go and do it against a man who had dominated the division for a decade and then go and confuse him, to beat him to the punch and then take away his crown?

It really is unbelievable.

What effect will Fury's shock victory have

Amir Khan

He landed with every shot and he hurt him - and he was actually surprised himself with the big shots.

The jab and that right, you could see with his body language - Klitschko wasn't comfortable. I don't think he let Klitschko settle down. He kept that jab going quick, kept that right hand going and kept moving forward

Carl Froch was full of praise for Tyson Fury's game plan and the way he executed it against Wladimir Klitschko to defeat the Ukrainian and become the heavy

Paul Smith

I think it was easy for him and no-one expected it to be that easy for him tonight. He wasn't bothered, he was in control. He bulled Klitscko for the last seven or eight rounds.

He was throwing, lunging but he didn't care, he knew he couldn't hurt him.

He deserves all the credit in the world - from everybody. He fought really, really well - out of his skin. He came in all week - even the last three months - believing in himself. He was confident.

Most people laugh at him and he is a little bit tongue-in-cheek and likes a sing-song - like the one he sang last night - all of us that used to laugh at him, now we've got to listen to him and take him seriously.
