Tyson Fury will go down as Britain’s greatest heavyweight, claims his promoter Frank Warren.
Warren has either worked with or seen Britain’s best heavyweights from Henry Cooper to Anthony Joshua and Frank Bruno to Lennox Lewis and says Fury tops the lot. Fury defends his WBC crown against Dillian Whyte at Wembley in front of a record 94,000 crowd on Saturday and Warren says the unbeaten Gypsy King eclipses even former undisputed champ Lewis.
“I think it’s out of him and Lennox Lewis as to who is the greatest British heavyweight ever and I think Tyson’s the better heavyweight,” the Queensberry Promotions chief told Mirror Sport. “He’s the better boxer and he’s beaten guys when they were in their prime. Deontay Wilder was not over the hill, he was in his prime, and Tyson has no fear of travelling.
