Carl Froch has given his take on a dream fight between Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury. The former super-middleweight champion thinks Lewis would come out on top.
Lewis retired in 2003 after beating every man he faced. He had big wins over Evander Holyfield, Frank Bruno, and Mike Tyson. Lewis was also the last undisputed heavyweight champion before Oleksandr Usyk grabbed that title in 2024.
Fury's career highlights include his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder and his win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. He's been away from boxing since January after losing to Usyk for the second time.
Froch shared his thoughts on this fantasy matchup on his YouTube channel, Froch on Fighting. He believes Lewis would be too much for Fury to handle.
If he doesn't knock him out, he dominates him with combination punches. Too strong. Too big. Puts him on his back foot and hurts him and gets him beat up for a points decision. I think Tyson Fury would be in survival mode, boxing on his back foot, trying to out-hustle him. Lewis would close the range using his size and strength and belt him with that big right hand.
Froch thinks Lewis's size and strength would let him control the fight. He sees Lewis hurting Fury with his powerful right hand. In Froch's view, Fury would end up just trying to survive.
The former champ predicts Lewis could win by knockout. If not, he thinks Lewis would dominate with combinations and win on points.
While Fury's retired, many hope he'll come back for a big fight with Anthony Joshua. Meanwhile, Lewis has been in the news lately. He called for Deontay Wilder to retire after Wilder lost to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. But Wilder's set to fight again next month, ignoring that advice.
