Former UFC star Brendan Schaub discussed the debate over who was the greater heavyweight boxer between Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury on The Lion's Den with Mike Tyson and Friends podcast in 2022.
During the podcast, Schaub interrupted Tyson and shared his opinion, stating that in his view, Fury was the best technically, due to his footwork and defensive skills.
Said, “Mike, before you answer, this is no disrespect but for me, technically-wise, Fury can go defence. His footwork is great. To me, as far as technique-wise, he is the best we’ve ever had.”
