Tyson Fury hilariously roasts Tommy Fury
Fighting Fit recently released a list of the Sexiest Sportsman in the world and the British boxers took home the top two spots in the rankings. The data was compiled by illicitencounter.com and women in the UK. Apparently, the women in the UK voted overwhelmingly in favor of the boxers from their country as Tyson Fury was ranked 1st followed by Anthony Joshy at 2nd.
The news of Fury being number one was announced by Frank Warren, the manager of Fury, at the pre-fight press conference of the scheduled bout with Usyk. Interestingly, Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of Tyson Fury is known for his good looks

‘TNT’ was even part of a reality TV reality series and has a big following on social media. “Tommy you ugly bastard… If you’re fat and bald, you’re probably gonna get laid.”, Tyson Fury said at the pre-fight press conference.
After his controversial victory against Francis Ngannou, Fury would be looking to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the bout against Usyk. Moreover, an all-British heavyweight championship between Anthony Joshua is also an enticing fight for Fury in the future. Joshua was the unified champion before he lost the three belts to Usyk.
Tyson Fury outranked Cristiano Ronaldo in ‘Sexiest Sportsman’ vote
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous sports figures in the world. He has topped many lists of Sexiest Athletes in the world. However, in the list compiled by Fighting Fit, Ronaldo was ranked 5th. In addition to Fury and Joshua, Travis Kelce and Lewis Hamilton were ranked above him at 3rd and 4th respectively.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo topped the list for the footballers as Erling Haaland came in at 6 with Jack Grealish at 7. Moreover, Lionel Messi came in at the top 10 with rank 9. Many are baffled by the fact that Tyson Fury topped the list. Ronaldo is known for his exceptional physique. On the other hand, Fury is known for having a body that is visibly not ripped.
The Gypsy King has on many occasions fat shamed himself much to the amusement of fans. Nevertheless, Fury is one of the most exceptional pugilists the heavyweight division has ever seen. His upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk would crown the first undisputed champion in the heavyweight division since Lennox Lewis. The bout was supposed to happen in December but was postponed to February 2024.
