He has never lost a professional bout; he dragged himself out of a deep mental and physical health crisis to defy his detractors and become world boxing champion; and his miraculous rise from the canvas against Deontay Wilder in 2018 is one of sport’s most thrilling moments of determination and fortitude.

All hail the Gypsy King: he has done it.
