Chael Sonnen backtracks on earlier ‘Tyson’ claim considering Tyson Fury’s ascent

Sonnen made a brazen statement regarding two of the all-time greats- Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson- in a video on his personal YouTube channel. He hailed Fury as the greatest fighter ever. The 46-year-old said this in reference to Tyson Fury’s forthcoming fight against Francis Ngannou.

Expressing his notions, he stated, “As the best boxer, I think ever, now that was a distinction I gave to Mike Tyson, I now give it to Tyson Fury. He is gonna take that size, take those skills and all experience all that stuff and he could go beat up a guy who has never done it (Francis Ngannou), who is coming off a knee injury, who’s at least 37 years old and has absolutely no experience.”
