    John Fury - father of Tyson - on BBC Radio 5 live: "Nobody believed he could do it, only me, Peter and his brother. We've ripped these belts off a super champion. We have changed the world. We have changed the world. They never believed the Titanic would sink but it did."

    The champion is just doing his media work, we will have it all for you shortly but if you are just joining us, let me take you through what we have seen.

    - Tyson Fury came forward, switched stance regularly, looked confident and took the initiative.

    - Wladimir Klitschko had a major helping hand late in the fight when Fury was deducted a point for punching the back of the head - it was a decision widely criticised.

    - The 12th round saw both men jaded but willing to trade blows.

    - A unanimous decision went the way of the Briton who inflicts Klitschko's first defeat in 11 years.

    Former world champion David Haye - beaten by Wladimir Klitschko of course - said Tyson Fury would not win this fight.

  10. Pinch yourself moment...published at 23:20 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2015

    The celebrations by Team Fury were just sensational as that result was announced. Pure bedlam in the corner.

    To remind you it was 115-112, 115-112, 116-111 - not as close as it felt.

    Fury was confident - supremely so - and he held court in the ring on times but Wladimir Klitschko finished strongly, like the champion he was - note the word WAS.

    A truly incredible fight, will we see a rematch? I'd happily watch another 12 rounds.

    "Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure...

    "I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep..."

    It is an Aerosmith number and he ends by thanking his wife. The pair announced they are expecting a third child this morning.

    What an event, what a fight, what an occasion.

    Tyson Fury's wife is in the ring, she gives her man a hug as he holds his titles.

    "I promised everybody I'd sing a song after this fight, this is for my fans and most of all a dedication to my wife...

    He's about to sing.

    "Tremendous , a great display. I said he would win it and he has won it. I had it by three rounds, there was only one winner. If they would have robbed him it would have been a travesty, he boxed sensational and went to another level.

      "The body language said it all. Wladimir and his brother Vitali knew they did not do enough."

    Tyson Fury has done it, all those miles run, all those punches thrown, all the doubters conquered, Great Britain has a new world champion. Wladimir Klitschko beaten - 11 years after his last loss.

  18. It's over...published at 23:09 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2015

    Both men celebrate. I wish I could tell you who has won but I just can't be sure, it's that close.

    My head says the point Tyson Fury had deducted will be critical.

  19. Round 12published at 23:08 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2015

    Just 90 seconds to go, a big left jab from Wladimir Klitschko. He looks the more lively suddenly. Another jab, Fury closes his eyes and just swings a right, this is relentless.

    Just 40 seconds remain, Klitschko - fired up by the three titles he could lose - carries the fight and this will wow the judges. 

    A big right hand from Klitschko, what a fight, it's a slug fest and there is the bell. Brilliant boxing, brilliant sport.

    Will that deducted point be crucial, it's so close you have to think so?

    Just two minutes left, Fury dives in and gets struck with a right hand.
