Tyson Fury has been in with some heavy hitters during his professional career.
‘The Gypsy King’ has taken some big shots from some big punchers in his career, most notably from the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and most recently Francis Ngannou.
The MMA star very nearly caused a seismic upset when he made his debut against the WBC heavyweight champion last October, when he dropped Fury before losing a controversial split-decision on points.

In a recent interview with The Stomping Ground, Fury was asked who the bigger puncher was between Ngannou and Wilder and didn’t hesitate with his response.
“Deontay, by far,” said Fury.
“Francis Ngannou is a big puncher, but I wasn’t really troubled by any of his punches. It wasn’t like it was dynamite every time he hit me, just one shot on the back of the head, that was it.
He concluded: “Wilder is still the biggest puncher I’ve been in the ring with by a mile.”
Next up for Tyson Fury is the huge undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18th.
