– Yes, yes, I will add Tyson Fury. I can’t add myself. I don’t have enough belts to add to this list. I don’t think I should be on this list. I still have to get there. I feel like I can be there, but there are guys who went through weight categories, collected belts, did a lot for boxing,” Bivol told .
