In a recent interview, current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury shared his thoughts on some all-time legends of the sport. At one point, the youngest heavyweight champion and ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson, came up in the interview.

Tyson Fury admitted and suggested that Mike Tyson was an incredible fighter back in the day. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ also gave credit to ‘Iron’ Mike’s team including his old promoters Bill Cayton and Jim Jacobs. He said that Tyson’s team did a phenomenal job with branding him and picking the perfect fights at various stages of his professional career.

“He was a very good fighter, Mike. Very, very feared, great management team behind him. Got him the right fights at the right time. They almost sold him like a brand, like Coca-Cola or McDonald’s. They did that good of a job with Mike Tyson. Bill Cayton, Jim Jacobs, they’ve done an awesome job with him, absolutely fantastic.
