One of the best active heavyweight boxers of this era, Tyson Fury, recently made it to the headlines for his association with WWE. During the Friday Night SmackDown premiere on FOX, former RAW Tag Team Champion Braun Strowman got into an altercation with the multi-time heavyweight boxing champion. Although it had appeared to be a friendly taunt at first, the scenario changed when Strowman threw Dolph Ziggler on Tyson Fury, who was seated ringside.

This week on RAW, Fury demanded an apology from the Monster Among Men for his actions but things took an ugly turn and the two indulged into a brawl. The situation was so tense that the WWE locker room had to intervene. We will have to wait to figure out what happens next in this saga featuring the Monster and the Gypsy King.

And in case you are wondering how dangerous Tyson Fury can be, just let this be known that he has been in 30 boxing matches in his career and yet to be defeated.


#2 Mike Tyson

Whoever followed WWE during the days of Attitude Era, need not be reminded of the effect Mike Tyson had in the contemporary storylines. Known as The Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson was one of those few boxers who regained the heavyweight championship after losing it and at the peak of his career, he got directly involved in the WWE World Championship picture.

It was around the corner of WrestleMania XIV, that Mike Tyson started appearing on WWE as a follower of D-Generation X. This led to him being the special outside enforcer for Shawn Michaels' WWE World Championship defense against Stone Cold at the mega event. Towards the end of the match, Tyson shocked the WWE Universe by turning on HBK and aiding Steve Austin to win the World Title, thereby ushering in the Attitude Era.

Post-match, Mike Tyson knocked out Shawn Michaels and it resulted in one of the loudest pops in WrestleMania history.
