He is a unique fighting figure who, along with his boxing prowess, makes it to the headlines with his eccentric statements and one-liners. Recently, the WBC heavyweight champ, who was in an exclusive conversation with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, shed some light on what makes him a special fighter.

He said, “You got Muhammad Ali. He had his superior footwork that made him special. You got like Mike Tyson. He had that speed and that power, the turn and twists, then you had Lennox Lewis. He had his hulking strength and dots like to go forward and aggression.”
