Tyson Fury displayed his greatness yet again when he knocked out Deontay Wilder in round 11 of their clash on October 2021, relinquishing one of the biggest trilogies in heavyweight boxing history. He is now arguably the greatest heavyweight of the generation, who is seemingly at the top of any other contender. Meanwhile, Fury’s trainer Sugar Hill may have envisioned a surging heavyweight amassing a similar status in the coming years.

In a recent interaction with Behind The Gloves, Hill shed light on several aspects surrounding Fury’s future.

11-0 as a professional, Anderson holds a 100% KO ratio. He has amassed this record in mere two years. But to sustain in the top-chain, he will have to do a lot more. That said, the youngster has already showcased his potential and can follow Tyson Fury’s blueprint to go for bigger heights.
