Probably most of the fans and followers have reconciled themselves coming across the name of Tyson Fury and some other big name in headlines as a possible match-up. Else, they find the WBC Heavyweight champion mouthing off a particular boxer on a social media platform. In the latest, boxing lovers watched as Fury reportedly claimed he could take on Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, two of boxing’s greatest, together in a round!

Shared by @boxing.courage, a short clip shows a reporter asking Tyson Fury, “Would you rather go one round with Mike Tyson in his prime, or Muhammad Ali in his prime?” The Heavyweight champion replied, “Both of them together.” It was enough to shoot off a plethora of reactions. Most took a dig at Fury for supposedly belittling Ali and ‘Iron Mike.’

Probably Toni Awe is already aware of the outcome. He prophesized that if Fury fights with prime Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali, they would hardly waste any time putting him to sleep, “Fury is getting slept so fast 😭😭😭.” Then highlighting how Fury scrapped through the fight against Deontay Wilder, someone with bare minimum boxing skills, Eric Marin said that against outstanding, highly proficient boxers like Ali and Tyson, he doesn’t stand a chance even by the narrowest of margins.

In their prime, they would have knocked out the Mancunian. “Yeah, right 😂. He f****g struggled to beat Deontay Wilder a guy with ZERO boxing skills. Just imagine what Ali, a guy with excellent boxing, would have done to him. And Tyson, in his prime, was also a great boxer. He loses by KO to both of them.” Eric Marin said.

Perhaps criticizing the WBC champion, Dank Clouds said he doesn’t respect his rivals. It could be either Clouds means that Fury always treats his opponents with contempt or doesn’t give a hoot about who he’s up against. The user said, “Fury has no respect for any opponent he ever faces.” Austin Christensen believes that while against Mike Tyson, Fury might go the distance. However, he won’t be able to touch the constantly moving Ali, who will lunge at a reasonable time to close the deal. Christensen said, “Tyson and fury would slug it out while Ali wouldn’t be touched until he’s ready to clean up Tyson for the W.

A fan named Adam asserts Tyson Fury’s respect for Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. Criticizing all those baiting after ‘The Gypsy King,’ the user insists that the Heavyweight champion often defends both legends. Adam said, “Bro, Fury loves both Ali and Tyson more than half the ppl on this app. He defends both of them constantly, and non of y’all in this comment section know enough abt anything to say any of that shit😭

It’s been over six months since ‘The Gypsy King’ returned to the ring. The year started with the news of a match against Oleksandr Usyk, looking almost certain. But unfortunately, it got off the hook. Then Andy Ruiz Jr.‘s name popped up, ultimately to no avail. During his tour down under, talks of him taking on an Aussie Heavyweight also came. Now, discussions of Fury going against the likes of Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou seem to be doing the rounds.
