TYSON FURY has declared he is the greatest heavyweight of all time ahead of his eagerly-awaited ring comeback this Saturday.
The 29-year-old believes he has the confidence of Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather rolled into one ahead of his bout at the Manchester Arena.
Fury will face Sefer Seferi this weekend in his first fight since dethroning Ukrainian legend Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015.
Albanian Seferi has a record of 23 wins with only one loss – with his sole defeat coming against now WBA ‘Regular’ champ Manuel Charr.
The Gypsy King has claimed there has never been a fighter like him in the heavyweight division, someone who is 6ft 9in, and can switch seamlessly from orthodox to southpaw.
Speaking to Boxing News Online, Fury said:”There’s been plenty of come forward aggressors throwing big bombs, there’s been plenty of boxers on the back foot.
“But when has there ever been a 6ft 9in switch-hitter with the confidence of Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather rolled into one?
“There has never, ever, ever been anybody like me. I’m unbeaten, I’m fast, I’m brash, I’m young, I’m good looking, I can dance, I’ve even got white teeth. What more can I have as a fighter, as a boxer, as a sportsman, as a showman?

Before adding he is the best ever, as he said: “I am the greatest heavyweight of all time, I’m not even going to be modest. I already beat the legendary Wladimir Klitschko and I did it easy, it was an easy fight.
“So put me in the ring with these bums and I’ll tell you how to put them down: easy peasy lemon squeezy!

“I am the best that there’s going to be and I don’t believe there’s a man born yet that can beat me.
“Nobody has seen what I can do yet because I’ve not had an opponent take me to that level that I need to go to. The better the opponent you put in front of me, the better I become.”
Fury is confident he can get back to his best after being out of the ring for over two and a half years.
He claimed: “You’re going to see the best Tyson Fury there’s ever been. I know a lot of people talk a good game when they’ve been (inactive for a long period), they always say they’ve done everything correctly.
“But when I say I’ve never, ever, ever been better or stronger or fitter or faster, I mean it. I’ve sparred hundreds and hundreds of rounds in the gym, I’m doing very, very well.”
While Fury also indicated his willingness to fight four times before the end of the year.
