Exclusive: Tyson Fury has 'great charisma' like Muhammad Ali

Fury - just the second fighter after Riddick Bowe to have held all four heavyweight world titles in the modern era - has been a big advocate of raising awareness about mental health since experiencing it himself.

Depression, heavy drinking and weight gain saw Fury have three years out of the ring before producing a sensational comeback to beat Deontay Wilder in their 2020 rematch.

Rated as the standout fighter of his division, lineal titlist Fury will now make the first defence of his world title against Wilder on October 9 and is a heavyweight favourite to deliver another stunning victory over his American rival.

"He has great charisma - a great way of communication. [Muhammad] Ali was outspoken, Mike Tyson was not spoken but had an unbelievable charisma because of how of the way he performed with those first-round knockouts all the time so we think his career will always be defined and he's always moving forward - he's a sensational star worldwide," he told Planet Sport.

Fury and Wilder will finally collide in a third encounter after a court ruling blocked a possible British showdown between the former and Anthony Joshua.

There is a new unified heavyweight king in Oleksandr Usyk though, after the Ukrainian southpaw outpointed Joshua at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It leaves a showdown between Fury and Joshua dead in the water for now and a rematch between Usyk and AJ is likely to take place around March time.

While Sulaiman continues to monitor the situation of Dillian Whyte - the No.1 rated fighter in the WBC rankings - he is just focused on the trilogy bout for now.
