Mike Tyson didn't hesitate when asked if he'd have beaten Tyson Fury in his prime appeared on www.sportbible.com by SPORTbible.
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has figured out exactly how he would approach a fight with Tyson Fury if the pair had met in their primes.
At 57-years-old, Mike Tyson is set to make a return to the ring later this year as he faces Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in November.
And despite his age, Tyson is clearly still confident in his boxing ability and has regularly spoken about how we would face up against modern heavyweights.
Despite losing his championship belts to Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury is still widely regarded one of the best heavyweights of this generation, with the loss to Usyk the only on his record.
But Tyson remains confident that if he had faced Fury when both men were at their best, he would know exactly how to win the bout.
Speaking to Ring Magazine in 2020, Tyson said: “Against someone of Tyson Fury’s size, you’ve got to be aggressive, move your head and be elusive because if you stand still against a man that size, you’re an easy target.
“You need to attack, use angles and stay away from his punching distance. You need to be close, but you can’t stay at a distance that allows the bigger fighter to get off.”
At 6ft 9inches, Fury would tower over the 5ft 11 Tyson, who admitted it would be a difficult fight to win.
He added: “A lot of people don’t understand that size and style isn’t the most important thing in the ring; it’s the morale of a fighter that leads to victory.
“His determination, his will to win, his desire is what makes him a champion.
“But at my best, I thought I was the greatest fighter from Achilles, through the Art of War, since the beginning of God, since the beginning of time – I was invincible.
“And if there are other fighters out there that don’t think that way, then they have a problem.”

Fury boasts a professional record of 34-1-1 and will look to avenge his solitary loss to Usyk when the pair rematch on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tyson on the other hand, has a record of 50 wins and six losses, with two no-contests.
