When two legendary boxers like Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury share their insights and wisdom, the boxing world takes notice. Both fighters understand that a winner’s mentality goes beyond physical abilities and is more about mental resilience. Their shared perspective offers valuable pearls of wisdom that can inspire and motivate athletes and individuals from all walks of life.
Both Fury and Tyson have faced formidable opponents and emerged victorious in the past. One notable example was Fury’s third fight against Deontay Wilder. In that thrilling encounter, ‘The Gyspy King’ showcased his incredible resilience coming back from two knockdowns to secure an 11th-round TKO victory. This remarkable comeback not only solidified Fury’s status as the WBC heavyweight champion but also showcased the power of his unshakeable mindset. Moreover, the WBC champion perfectly described how a strong mindset can affect the outcomes of high-stakes fights along with Iron Mike.
Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury emphasize the power of an unbreakable mindset
In a resurfaced video, Fury describes the unwavering strength of his mindset and the unshakable belief in his ability. Despite any physical challenges he may face, he emphasizes the strength of his mental fortitude and the importance of believing in oneself. Moreover, he firmly asserts that when one believes in their success first in their mind, they can achieve anything.
“Maybe I was finished in my body, but in my mindset, I was strong and I believed that I was gonna win. If you believe it first with the mind, anything is achievable. And I believe it so much, I never ever doubt myself in a fight, no matter who it is or with whom. I always believe I’m gonna win.” he said.

Tyson wholeheartedly agreed with the undefeated heavyweight’s statement. In Fury’s view, victory is not only a possibility but an expectation, rooted in his steadfast belief in his own abilities. Now, the WBC champion will have to bring in the same mindset if he wants to dominate the former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in their upcoming showdown. However, former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew thinks that Fury would more or less dominate Ngannou.
Tony Bellew predicts Fury vs Ngannou
In a recent interview with TalkSport, ‘Bomber’ revealed that Fury has the ability to end his upcoming clash with Ngannou in just one round. Bellew emphasized the distinct differences between MMA and boxing, comparing it to the disparity between Rugby and soccer. He further stated that if Fury were to enter the cage with Ngannou, the MMA fighter would overpower and defeat him within a mere 40 to 50 seconds.
“I genuinely believe Tyson Fury, if he chooses to, could get rid of Francis Ngannou in a round. MMA and boxing are two completely different sports, it’s like saying rugby and football [soccer] are the same because they are played with a ball. It would be just as stupid if Tyson Fury was to get in the cage with Francis Ngannou because Francis Ngannou would absolutely obliterate Tyson Fury within 40-50 seconds.” he said.
Bellew’s assessment of the clash provides an interesting perspective on the stark differences between boxing and MMA. This highlights the specialized skill sets required in each sport and recognizes the limitations that each fighter brings to the table. Till then, fans can only speculate if the former UFC champion can surprise everyone with his destructive power or lose in a one-sided beatdown
