The WBC and the Ring heavyweight champion Tyson Fury heaped praises for his biggest rival, Deontay Wilder. He compared the former WBC heavyweight champion to the greatest heavyweight of all time, Muhammad Ali.

‘The Gypsy King’ caught up with Michelle Joy Phelps of ‘Behind the Gloves’. After his victory against the WBC mandatory challenger, Dillian Whyte.

While interacting, he reflected on why ‘The Bronze Bomber’ deserves the undisputed shot against the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch after he vacates his throne.

He said, “I’d like to see Deontay Wilder fight whoever for it again. I know I don’t know how that’s impossible. He’s lost three fights in a row and is still number one rated, but that’s up to them.”

Furthermore, Tyson Fury elaborated on why Wilder was the best heavyweight after him? He said, “One thing Deontay made ten title defenses more than anybody else. Equals Muhammad Ali’s record, beat Vitali Klitschko’s record, doesn’t get the credit he deserves. I do believe he’s still the second-best heavyweight in the world.”

Why Muhammad Ali is ‘The Greatest boxer of all Time’?

The charismatic persona that became the epitome of boxing, Muhammad Ali, was a three-time heavyweight champion. The Olympic Gold medalist cemented the phenomenal record of 56-5. However, several boxing legends surpassed it later but could not attain the set of skills the man showcased in his prime.

Ali’s outside ring contribution to social causes made him the genuine hero that the boxing universe has ever produced.

The reputed publications that claim Ali is the greatest boxer of all time are ‘Business & Leadership’, The Fight City, and The New York Times.
