Tyson Fury is certainly the greatest heavyweight technician of this generation. As such, the boxing world wanted to see the champ squaring off with Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. However, before this could have happened, the 33-year-old announced his retirement after stopping his heated rival and the WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte spectacularly.

However, he made it clear that he would be available for the exhibition fights. Now, it seems that it is high time to see the British heavyweight icon in the ring soon because the champ is inching closer to materializing an exhibition bout between him and the former world’s strongest man Hafthor Bjornsson. The duo had a heated exchange on the social media platform, which eventually resulted in negotiations. As of now, both are in talks to land their contest at a London Football Stadium in November.
Meanwhile, a video clip of ‘The Gypsy King’ surfaced on Twitter. In which the champ appeared, showing off his hand speed and fast body movement. Michael Benson of talkSports reported it on Thursday.

Such phenomenal hand speed on mitts caught the attention of fans, who went wild and wished to see Fury fighting again against the unified heavyweight champion Usyk and the British star Anthony Joshua.
Fans reacted to the video of Tyson Fury
A fan claimed that Fury is the best heavyweight, who has ever walked into the ring. According to him, he is unbeatable.
He is the best heavyweight ever, no doubt about it. No one beats him past, present or future.

Another fan came up with a bold reply. He seems to be a fan of George Foreman, one of the best heavyweights of all time.
Are u sure about that Get off the man’s nuts George foreman would break him

Another fan guessed that it is not the recent video. It was filmed around the first Fury vs Wilder clash.
Yeah don’t see no floppy glove neither. So I guess it just conveniently happened during the first Wilder fight.

Another fan believes that Fury’s hand speed is not at the level of new reigning heavyweight star Oleksandr Usyk.
Too slow for Usyk.

Another fan wrote, “All this man has to do is beat usyk and Joshua and he could go down as a all time great. If not *the* greatest.”
