Dana White believes Tyson Fury has proven why he is the bestDAZN
The UFC President Dana White has been impressed with the rise of the current WBC world heavyweight champion.

Dana White has been singing the praises of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury ahead of the UFC's return to London on Saturday night. 

Speaking to Sky Sports, White said Fury's willingness to fight anyone has proven why he is the best fighter in the heavyweight division. 

"He's able to sell out Wembley because he has shown he is the best," White began. 

"This is what happens when the best fight the best.

"He's the best. In the Wilder fights when he took those shots, got back up, won the fight, knocked him out. He's the best.

"There's no denying that he's the best in the world and he's finally getting the respect and credit that he's due. I'm happy for him because he's a good dude.

"In boxing, the best have to fight the best. When you get all the best guys in the world fighting each other, people want to see it.

"I truly believe that Tyson Fury is one of those guys who is willing to fight everybody."

Before his fight with Dillian Whyte on April 23rd was made official, there were strong rumours that Fury would face the UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover fight. However, these plans failed to materialise.
