Tyson Fury is one of the most dominant heavyweight champions in recent times. Furthermore, the WBC heavyweight champion has remained undefeated across his 35-fight professional career. Subsequently, Fury’s record is 34-0-1 with 24 KOs and one draw against Deontay Wilder. Even though Fury has remained undefeated, he has come close to losing several times in his career. Hence, this has made fans wonder what a fight between a prime Mike Tyson and Fury would be like.
Fury has had several tough fights throughout his career and has been knocked down seven times. Four knockdowns occurred in his fights against Wilder, and two others happened against Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham. Furthermore, Fury’s most recognized knockdown was against Francis Ngannou, which was unexpected because it was Ngannou’s boxing debut. Regardless, Fury could get back on his feet before the referee counted him out all seven times.
Subsequently, a compilation video of every one of Fury’s knockdowns went viral on social media. This prompted fans to imagine what a fight against Tyson would be like. Fury has faced hard punchers like Ngannou and Wilder and can arguably deal with a prime Tyson. However, Wilder claimed he could have knocked out Tyson during his prime.
After this, Fury fired back at Wilder and stated that he would have gotten his lights knocked out by Tyson. As such, the comments may have been out of respect since Fury was named after the legendary heavyweight champion.

A hypothetical dream match between Tyson and Fury is an interesting topic of discussion. Tyson was known for his incredible speed, power, and aggressive fighting style, particularly in his prime during the late 1980s. Similarly, Fury is known for his size, reach, and boxing skills and often employs a more tactical and strategic approach in the ring. Furthermore, Fury is significantly taller and heavier than Tyson.

Fans reminisced about how many times Fury was dropped, but he still got back up. While some people questioned his chin, others defended him by stating that it was the heavyweight division. Furthermore, fans highlighted his indelible recovery rate and the heart to get back up and win.
