Fury, Tyson, Ali: The top 10 heavyweights of all time named

The Gypsy King steps back into the ring on Saturday night, and it’s fair to say that these occasions are well and truly savoured by boxing fans around the world.

Tyson Fury has treated us to 14 years of boxing perfection, out-classing every man that has stood in front of him.

For hundreds of years the heavyweight division has reigned supreme and has birthed some of the most prolific icons that boxing has ever seen, but how does Fury rank among the all-time greats?

Has he made his case for the greatest of all time? Where does he stand amongst those who have dominated before him?

DAZN have released their official list of the 10 greatest heavyweights of all time- it’s interesting to see who has made the cut.

Amongst the likes of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Fraizer, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes, Fury takes his rightful place as one of the heavyweight GOATS.

DAZN justify their selection by referring to Tyson’s victorious rivalry with Deontay Wilder, “One of boxing’s biggest punchers of all time.”

“Fury has combined pure boxing skills with underrated punching power to a supreme level amidst his growing dominance. And both components of his fighting game have been on display in all three of his fights against Deontay Wilder”
