According to Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, WBC KING Tyson Fury has been crowned the best boxer on the planet.
Fury was back at the top of the sport with a stunning seventh-round TKO win over Deontay wilder in Las Vegas.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC legend, believes The Gypsy King to be the best boxer in the world.
Many proclaimed him the "pound-for-pound" king after his masterclass at The Gypsy King’s Sin City.
Nurmagomedov also agrees with this notion and told ES News: "Right then? Tyson Fury is my favorite.
"Heavyweight, undefeated, and he beat everyone.
"Like very near, like Canelo [Alvarez], Oleksandr] Usyk [Terence] Crawford. Like all these guys very closely.
"Like only my opinion, top like Tyson Fury now."
Wilder, 32-year-old fan favourite Fury will be facing him in a Sin City trilogy fight.
If Wythenshawe's warrior defeats The Bronze Bomber or AJ wins his September showdown against Usyk, he will be able to fight Anthony Joshua for the undisputed heavyweight title.
Nurmagomedov, like many boxing fans, is eager to see the long-awaited Battle of Britain become a reality.
He said, "I know, i know." They will have to fight Tyson Fury-Wilder winner like a winner.
"Like a semifinal. "But right now, Tyson Fury is my favorite."
The third installment of Fury vs Wilder was scheduled to be held in Las Vegas this month, but it was postponed after the former was caught by Covid-19.
Eddie Hearn, the promoter, plans to pit Joshua against Fury early next year if they are successful in their respective outings.
The Matchroom Boxing chief stated to iFL TV that he believed this was true.
"But fighting September 25 is very difficult.
"And a lot our conversations now about undisputed fight were end of Jan, February.
"So it probably helps. Fury may have wanted to fight again in November or December.
"And then, the whole thing is, like. never-ending."
