Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has dismissed Anthony Joshua's claims that he would beat Muhammad Ali in their prime in a heavyweight boxing bout.
According to Tyson, Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer ever and he wouldn't have stand a chance against him.
Speaking to Yahoo Sports, Tyson said: "I know it's a fantasy game. Most likely I would win the fantasy.
"I wouldn't win the real fight. Ali's the greatest there's ever been."
We earlier reported that Anthony Joshua, who is currently in possession of four of the five world heavyweight titles, was asked who would win a bout between arguably the two biggest names in the sport's history.
And in his response, Joshua said: "The current heavyweight division in the amateurs is what we class as the cruiserweight division.
So Ali wouldn't have been a fully-fledged heavyweight.
"So let's say we bulked Muhammad Ali up and put size and strength to him, I truly believe Mike Tyson would've won.
The reason being when you watch the fight with Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, you see a certain Tyson-esque to Frazier's style.
"So I think that Mike Tyson would've won, in my humble opinion."
