New survey reveals the fighters who bring the biggest show, before and after the first bell.
A new survey of 2,500 UK boxing fans has named Tyson Fury the most entertaining boxer of all time, thanks to his unforgettable ring walks, off-script interviews, and theatrical weigh-ins.
Commissioned by USDT Casino, the survey asked fans to rank fighters past and present based on their ability to entertain—not just inside the ring, but through their entrances, press conferences, and overall showmanship.
Fury topped the rankings with 68% of the vote, cementing his place as boxing’s undisputed king of charisma.
It’s Not Just the FightsIt’s the Full Performance
From riding into the ring on a golden throne to singing after knockouts, Fury has mastered the art of spectacle—and fans can’t get enough.
“Fury has made every moment of his career watchable,” said Jamie Declan, sports analyst at USDT Casino. “He’s not just a boxer—he’s a born performer. He makes press conferences feel like theatre and turns ring walks into iconic moments.”

Fans Want More Than Just Punches
The survey also revealed that:
• 72% of UK fans said a boxer’s entertainment value plays a big role in whether they tune in live.
• 67% believe ring walks, weigh-ins and post-fight interviews are “part of the appeal.”
• 59% said they follow boxers more for their personality than for their in-ring performance alone.
From Thrones to Trash Talk: The Era of the Boxing Showman
Fighters like Prince Naseem, Chris Eubank Sr., and David Haye helped lay the foundations, but Fury has taken boxing entertainment into a new era, balancing brute force with unexpected flair.
“The numbers show fans aren’t just watching for technical skill anymore,” added Declan. “It’s about presence, unpredictability, and creating moments that live long after the final bell.”
