# Tyson Fury Responds To All Time Great Heavyweight Debate Ahead Of Usyk Battle

WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has weighed in on the age-old debate as to who is the greatest heavyweight of all-time ahead of his historic undisputed title clash against Oleksandr Usyk.

‘The Gypsy King’ aims to become the first undisputed four-belt title holder in the history of the sports’ most glamourous division when he faces Usyk in May, after the original February 17 date was postponed [due to Fury suffering a cut in sparring.](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/bob-arum-on-fury-usyk-new-date/)

Before the fight was postponed, [Fury told DAZN Boxing that he truly does not care about where he ranks amongst the greats](https://youtu.be/QTTOvd-BI0s?si=e9zGfa_2Y1rTBBf-), believing that placing himself on such lists indicates that his time in the ring is coming to an end, when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

> “Who cares? No, \[I don’t care at all\]. I don’t care where you all put me because it’s all just someone’s opinion, they are like a\*\*\*holes, everyone’s got one. Put me at the bottom \[if you like\].
>
> “Wherever they want to put me now, put me a thousand spaces lower. I don’t care about history because it means that you are finished, I’m active and I am enjoying what I am doing.”
>
> “Some idiot with a computer who has never had a fight in his life, never been slapped, never been knocked out, nothing – his opinion on who is a good fighter and who isn’t? Come on.”

Fans will be hoping that the Fury vs. Usyk undisputed clash is able to go ahead in May without any further delays.
