Tyson Fury picks the hardest puncher out of Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou
Watch Smith vs. Zepeda live March 23 on DAZN
Throughout his boxing career, WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has shared the ring with some of the biggest names in the division.
His recent thrilling trilogy with Deontay Wilder captured the imagination of the boxing world, and Fury was also the fighter in the opposite corner when former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou made his professional boxing debut in October.
One thing that Fury encountered during his meetings with both Wilder and Ngannou was being on the wrong end of some powerful punches, with Ngannou's third round knockdown in Riyadh sending shockwaves around the globe.
But who out of Wilder and Ngannou is the hardest puncher according to Fury?
"Deontay, by far," Fury told The Stomping Ground.
"Francis Ngannou is a big puncher, but I wasn’t really troubled by any of his punches. It wasn’t like it was dynamite every time he hit me, just one shot on the back of the head, that was it.
"Wilder is still the biggest puncher I’ve been in the ring with by a mile."
Fury is set to return to the ring on May 18 when he faces Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight title live on DAZN PPV.
