Roy Jones Jr ranks Tyson Fury as best pound-for-pound fighter in the world above the likes of Terence Crawford and Oleksandr Usyk
When asked to name the best fighters around today, Jones Jr told talkSPORT, “It’s really hard to say, but you’ve got to give it to Fury right now.
“Fury got to be number one, then [Terence] ‘Bud’ Crawford, then you’ve probably got to put Usyk number three, [Dmitry] Bivol number four and then five, I don’t know.”Whereas, in the Ring Magazine’s rankings, Usyk takes the top spot, Crawford is third, and Bivol is in sixth place. Fury does not even feature, having vacated his Ring Magazine title when he briefly retired from the sport after knocking out Dillian Whyte.
And fans are hoping that ‘The Gypsy King’ and Usyk will come together to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four belt era.and they have targeted dates between February 18 and March 4 2023 for the bout to take place.18+ Opt in, bet £10+ at odds 2.00+, in 7 days.
