It’s been over two years since Tyson Fury secured the iconic win over Deontay Wilder in their third match. That bout is still talked about in quite a high regard even now. Wilder is a knockout master in his own right, but he wasn’t able to use his powers over Fury which left fans in dismay as they believed ‘the Gypsy King’ would get punched down. But that did not happen, even if amid the trilogy, Tyson Fury touched the ground, he stood back up and came back with an answer to every punch Wilder threw.

Recently, Tyson Fury got on with a YouTube Channel, Foxify, for an interview. And in this interview, he talked about the reason Wilder could not use his knockout power against him. Now the fighters do not have anything against each other except respect. And recently, both the fighters erased all questions about the fourth fight in a humbling encounter.

Tyson Fury gives credit to his ‘sheer size’ against Deontay Wilder

Now, during the interview, Tyson Fury was asked about his most formidable opponent, so Fury replied with the name Wilder in a blink of an eye. Fury told the panel that Wilder has knocked out every opponent he’s ever fought, except him. And then he goes on to give the reason why that is the case.

Tyson Fury stated that the major reason is his being bigger than every fight that Wilder has ever fought. ‘The Gypsy King’ said, “I think my sheer size and weight has a lot to do with him not being able to knock me out cold.”

He continued, “He hits a guy 6ft 3ins and 225lbs, they’re nailed to the canvas. But a guy 6ft 9ins and 277lbs – size matters.” The fans were in total agreement, and even some fans were amazed that Fury did not hesitate to accept such a natural advantage in front of the boxing world.

Fans react to Fury’s statement about his size

The boxing fans were amazed to see how Fury came and accepted what came into everyone’s mind at least once. Now one fan, @CloudAtlas_47, suggested that there should be another weight division for Fury.

One of the fans, @RyanGurewitz, stated that another division wouldn’t work. As according to the commenter, it’d get boring as there are not a lot of boxers who can get into shape for such a weight class.

Another fan, @thecatalyst610, agreed with what Tyson Fury said.

Another fan, @airtxme, wrote about how Tyson Fury is refusing to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

Some fans demanded Fury be in a different weight division. Well, it does make sense at some level, but Tyson Fury is definitely a rare breed of fighter. Not all 6ft 9inch monsters could possibly move around like ‘The Gypsy King’. As there’d be very less fighters who could touch the criterion for such a weight class.
