“He knows he’s talking about Mike Tyson only. I’d love to do a podcast with him. He’s a book of knowledge and more clever than what people think he is. I know how clever he is. He’s a live life,” said John Fury.

This is not the first time when John Fury spoke about his admiration for ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’. In the past, he has always expressed his respect for retro boxing’s heavyweight icon.
