“Technique Wise, He’s the Best”: Joe Rogan’s Friend and Former UFC Star Makes an Outlandish Claim About Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson Facing Each Other in Their Prime

 People compare great fighters from different times. In the boxing world, they often debated the question of who is the greatest among Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury. There is no doubt that Mike Tyson is a boxing legend who has achieved great victories through sheer determination. Combat sports lovers admire the 56-year-old for his glorious bouts. ‘Iron Mike’ began his journey as a boxer in 1985 and retired from boxing in 2005. He was the world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990 and is regarded as one of the greatest athletes.

On the other hand, Tyson Fury is one of the greatest boxers of the present time. The 34-year-old is the current WBC heavyweight champion. He has been reigning as the heavyweight champion since 2020. ‘The Gypsy King’ has held several other titles after his glorious victories. When the question of who is greater between ‘Iron Mike’ and Fury, Joe Rogan‘s best buddy and former UFC fighter, Brendan Schaub, had the perfect reply.

Brendan Schaub says Tyson Fury is greater than Mike Tyson

Back in 2022, former UFC star Brendan Schaub was talking in the podcast The Lion’s Den with Mike Tyson and Friends. ‘Kid Dynamite’ was joined by UFC’s former two-division champion, Daniel Cormier, Schaub, and a few other guests. They discussed a lot of topics related to the sports world. One of the most important parts of their discussion was who was greater among Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury. The question asked to ‘Iron Mike’ was, “Mike Tyson in his prime vs Tyson Fury in his prime. Who wins?” 

Before Mike could answer the question, Schaub interrupted Tyson and said, “Mike, before you answer, this is no disrespect but for me, technically-wise, Fury can go defence. His footwork is great. To me, as far as technique-wise, he is the best we’ve ever had.” Schaub who is also a friend of the UFC commentator, is known in the MMA world for his controversial opinions.

‘Iron Mike’ is a fan of ‘The Gypsy King’

Tyson turned many heads towards him when he won his first nineteen boxing matches by KO. Out of the nineteen bouts, twelve victories were by knockout in the very first round. ‘Kid Dynamite’ earned his first boxing title when he was just 20. The other guests, including DC, were quite surprised by what Schaub said.
