Iron Mike. Fury himself stated he struggled most with skilled and athletic shorter boxers. Mike is literally the archetypal monstrous short man. He would consistently get under Fury's punches and tag him with hard counters and combos. Mike is also the more proven, consistent fighter here. Fury would acquit himself, especially in clinches where he is much bigger and Mike never preferred to work, but as soon as they reset, it's all Mike. I would predict a mid to late rounds TKO, although a decision would possibly be likely.
With the right referee Fury could wrestle and manhandle Tyson the whole fight to get the decision or even a stoppage. However, if the referee doesn’t allow any roughhousing and wrestling Fury is in for a very long night and will most likely drop a decision to Tyson.
Hard to call. Fury's career defining wins are a near scoreless points win over an ageing Vladimir Klitschko and an absolute pasting of the very flawed Wilder. Tyson doesn't have any career defining wins. His career defining fights are defeats. I said, on a different thread a couple of days ago, that Fury is a riddle. I don't see even the fast, hard punching Mike being able to solve it. Fury will know that Mike could never fight going backwards and would land hard shots from distance making him give ground. In the clinches he would push Mike back and tire him out. Given that stamina was not Mike's strong suit, I can see Fury stopping from the 10th round onwards.
