“It’s Not Even Close” Tyson Fury Names The Biggest Puncher He’s Ever Been In The Ring With.
Tyson Fury has been in the ring with some heavy hitters over his sixteen years a professional.
The ‘Gypsy King’ was largely dominant in the first portion of career, but hit the deck against Neven Pajkic and Steve Cunningham before scoring an early finish himself
A remarkable comeback to the sport after three years out saw him face Deontay Wilder for the WBC World Title, fighting to a controversial draw after surviving two knockdowns. Fury won the second by demolition and the third with another knockout although not before touching the canvas again.
His warm-up fight for an undisputed battle with Oleksandr Usyk was against former UFC heavyweight champion and world recorder holder for most powerful punch, Francis Ngannou. Although barely anyone gave the MMA fighter a chance going into the contest, he dropped Fury in third round and only just lost out by a split decision on the scorecards.
The came Usyk and, although the 6’9 Brit had periods of success in the fight, it was the Ukrainian that took the decision on the scorecards after a massive 10-8 round in the ninth when Fury looked out on his feet.
When asked by The Stomping Ground if Francis Ngannou hit harder than former-foe and notorious heavy hitter Wilder, ‘The Gypsy King’ claimed he wasn’t troubled by Ngannou’s power and that Wilder was ‘by a mile’ the biggest puncher he had ever been in the ring with.

“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.”
Many say the damage did to Wilder over the course of the Fury trilogy changed him for good, and he currently seems to be wrestling with the idea of retirement after back-to-back losses against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Should he hang up the gloves, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will do so with a record of 43 wins with 42 knockouts.
