Tyson Fury vs Mike Tyson has been simulated & it ends in huge knockout

Comparing sports performers from different eras can be difficult and fascinating in equal measure. It can provide hours of debate among sports fans across a range of disciplines.

Tyson, who has always been an admirer of the Gypsy King, responded, saying: “Listen, just him being Tyson Fury shows my greatness.
