Tyson Fury is one of boxing’s most outspoken personalities. The WBC heavyweight champion often engages in verbal battles and provides fans with entertainment inside and outside the ring. And ‘The Gypsy King’ is at it yet again.
The heavyweight division is arguably the most exciting in the sport right now. With many challengers, the division will soon have one champion for all the belts. However, Fury has taken his chance to remind his rivals that he is already number one.

This served as a fresh reminder for his rivals Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. In addition, it comes barely a week after Tyson Fury tweeted that he is the only champion in the division. Thus, it is clear that ‘The Gypsy King’ is not mincing his words when it comes to who’s the best.

Tyson Fury has the chance to prove he is number one
These comments from Fury are merely claims from the Englishman. There will be many fans who agree with this post, but also many who disagree. However, Fury has the chance to back up his claims in the ring.
After months of speculation, Fury and Joshua finally agreed to a two-fight deal. This would see the winner become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. If ‘The Gypsy King’ wants to assert his dominance, he has to beat his compatriot.

In addition, a victory would prove his number one status since he has beaten Wilder and will hold a win over ‘AJ’. Therefore, it would leave no stone unturned. If Joshua wins, he would still have to beat ‘The Bronze Bomber’ to claim to be the best in the division.
However, only time will tell if Fury can cement his place as the best heavyweight in the world.
