Heavyweight boxing legend insists he'd have broken Tyson Fury's ribs in fight

Riddick Bowe thinks Tyson Fury's style wouldn't work against the old era of heavyweights as he would have been left with broken ribs.

Fury is undoubtedly one of the greatest heavyweights champions of the past decade as the Brit is unbeaten in 34 professional fights. 'The Gypsy King' won the unified titles against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and has held the WBC title for over two years, defending it with stoppage wins against Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and most recently Derek Chisora.

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Bowe recognises Fury's talents but thinks there are flaws in his style. Whilst discussing a theoretical fight between the pair, 'Big Daddy' believes Fury's awkwardness would leave him with "broken ribs" as his body would be exposed.
