The data has been gathered by Illicitencounters.com from the opinions of 2,000 UK-based women. It furthermore reveals a shift in perceptions as they rated 30 famous and active male sports stars on a 1-10 scale for ‘sexiness’. Surprisingly, Tyson Fury emerged as the ladies’ top choice, boasting an impressive 9.3 out of 10.
Fury’s popularity is potentially boosted by his presence in the Netflix documentary At Home with the Fury’s. It also showcases the multifaceted nature of sports figures in the eyes of fans.
