Tyson Fury has been in with some of the biggest punches in boxing, including Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and Francis Ngannou.
‘The Gypsy King’ is a former WBC heavyweight champion who won his first world title on away soil when he beat Klitschko back in 2015, out in Germany.
After a time away to battle mental health problems, he made a triumphant return and took on Wilder in America. After a heroic draw in the first fight, he fought him twice more and won by KO both times, with both men going down a total of 11 times across the trilogy.
In August 2023, he also took on former UFC heavyweight ruler Ngannou and though he was put down early, he survived to take a points win, then lost back-to-back fights with Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Fury was asked which of the three notorious punchers hit him the hardest.
“Deontay, by far. Francis Ngannou is a big puncher but I wasn’t really troubled by any of his punches. It wasn’t like it was dynamite, and every time he hit me I was wobbled. No, just one shot on the back of the head, that was it. So Wilder is still the biggest puncher I’ve been in with by a mile.”
One other big puncher he is yet to face is Anthony Joshua, a man many people hope will draw Fury out of retirement for one final showdown before they all retire for good.
Recently, he has also been more keen to talk up a trilogy fight with Usyk at some point in 2026.
