They Gypsy King’ is coming off his first ever career defeat when he was beaten via split decision in May by Oleksandr Usyk
Prior to that, Fury had shared the ring with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Wilder has one of the most impressive knockout records in boxing history and is regarded by some as the biggest one punch finisher of all time. Ngannou, on the other hand, holds the world record for the most powerful punch ever recorded but sceptics weren’t sure if his power would translate inside the boxing ring.
Having been knocked down by both, Fury told The Stomping Ground he was in no doubt that the former WBC champion packs the bigger punch.
Deontay, by far. Francis Ngannou is a big puncher but I wasn’t really troubled by any of his punches, it wasn’t like dynamite and every time he hit me I was wobbled or anything, it was just one shot to the back of the head and that was it. So Wilder is the biggest puncher I’ve ever been in the ring with by a mile.”
Both Ngannou and Wilder are at crossroads in their boxing career. The Alabama heavyweight is coming off two defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang and has been urged to consider retirement whilst Ngannou suffered a devastating knockout to Anthony Joshua back in March and will now make a planned return to MMA before considering his options inside the ring.
