Tyson Fury is the new heavyweight boxing champion of the world after upsetting Wladimir Klitschko on points in Germany.
The British challenger went the distance with the Ukrainian champion in a fight which did not feature a lot of highlights.
Fury got the nod from all three judges 115-112, 115-112 and 116-111 to claim Klitschko's WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts in Dusseldorf.
Undefeated Fury, who improved his record to 25-0, was never troubled by the 39-year-old Ukrainian who suffered his first loss in 11 years.

"I can't believe it," he said before breaking down in tears. "It's hard to come to foreign countries and get decisions. With the point [docked] off in the last round, I thought I wasn't going to get it, to be honest.
"I came here to Germany in the lion's den to a great, great champion in Wladimir Klitschko and my lord, my saviour, my rock, my foundation, gave me the glory tonight. In the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you.
"This is a dream come true. Me and my uncle Peter here, we've worked so hard for this."
Fury became the first Briton to hold a world heavyweight crown since 2009.
Quick, despite his 2.06 metres, the 27-year-old contender was better from the start, landing left-right combinations with Klitschko, not used to fighting taller men than him, struggling with Fury's reach.
"I worked for six months for this in the gym,," Fury said in his ringside interview while draped in his new world title belts and unable to hold back the tears.
Klitschko managed to get close with a few good left jabs in the second round but Fury landed a powerful right, pushing the Ukrainian back.
Fury, changing between southpaw and orthodox stance, kept chipping away at Klitschko's defences with his combinations and by the eighth round the champion was bleeding from a cheek wound.
Fury, who shed 32 kilos in five months to get in shape for the fight, landed a bruising left uppercut in the ninth that wounded Klitschko's right eye.
Sensing the title slipping away, Klitschko threw everything he had in the final round for a knockout but ended up losing on all three of the judges' scorecards.
