Tyson Fury vs. Mike Tyson is a fantasy fight that many boxing fans would have liked to have seen play out.

Fury was named after the boxing legend, and managed to follow in the footsteps of his hero, becoming world heavyweight champion when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

After taking time away from the sport, Fury once again captured the world heavyweight title when he defeated Deontay Wilder, paving the way for an undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk in May last year.

Usyk claimed the win, and then did so again in the rematch. In the aftermath, Fury has now announced his retirement.

Unlike Fury, ‘Iron Mike’ did manage to become undisputed heavyweight champion, holding the accolade from 1987 until 1990.

He remains the youngest world heavyweight champion in history, and earned the nickname ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ after winning his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them inside the first round.

A number of big names fell victim to the power of Tyson, including Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Trevor Berbick and Frank Bruno.

One man who Tyson never fought during his career was his good friend Riddick Bowe, who was unified heavyweight champion in his own right during the 1990s.

The debate has raged on whether it would be the height and reach advantage of Fury of the speed and power of Tyson that would be the difference in a fight between the two, and Bowe has revealed who he thinks would win whilst talking to The Mayweather Channel.

“Mike Tyson. I think because of Mike’s speed and his punching power, as long as someone is standing in front of him, Mike will destroy them. And Fury doesn’t move! So Mike would kill him.”

Bowe isn’t the only man to predict who would come out on top between Tyson and Fury, with former ‘Iron Mike’ foe Bruno also giving his prediciton.
