UFC President Dana White believes Tyson Fury to be the king of heavyweights because of his fearlessness, determination and will.
White, 52, spoke ahead of the UFC's return to London this weekend, for the first time since 2013.
Dana White identifies Tyson Fury as the best heavyweight boxer.
He said that Fury is currently the greatest heavyweight boxer in the world, and that there is no doubt about it.
"In the Deontay wilder fights, he took those shots and got back up, won his fight, and knocked out him out. He is the best.
"He is finally being given the credit and respect he deserves. He's a great guy and I'm glad for him.
Fury is getting ready to defend his WBC title against Dillian Whyte in the all-British fight at Wembley on 23 April.

Fury could need to regain that mindset as he may face the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk later in the year.
This bout is now in doubt, however, as Usyk joined forces to defend Ukraine from Russian invasion.
Joshua is still looking for revenge and Fury to fight him.
