Tyson Fury has been brutally told he would be “knocked out cold” in an ultimate heavyweight fight against Mike Tyson. The boxing icon, after whom Fury was named, is still the youngest person to win a heavyweight world title at just 20.

Asked about a potential fight between the two Tysons, ex-world champion Carl Froch said he thinks ‘Iron Mike’ would have knocked Fury flat on his back. Froch has been embroiled in a war of wards with Fury’s dad John, who even dared the former super-middleweight to a fight, promising they could fill Wembley Stadium. Outspoken John Fury even put out a challenge to Mike Tyson.

Froch told Lucky Block: “Mike Tyson knocked out a few big lumps and tall guys too. I reckon Tyson Fury could keep him at bay for a bit, but we’re talking about a prime Mike Tyson, who was world champ at 20. I think a prime Mike Tyson beats almost anybody. Just the way he used to be in the ring, he was a dangerous, dangerous man. He never stopped throwing punches. He used to roll his way into range.
