Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois’ punching power pales in comparison to that of this former world title challenger, according to a retired fighter.
While ‘The Gypsy King’ isn’t renowned for his heavy hands, ‘AJ’ and ‘Triple D’ are two of the biggest punchers of the modern era.
Joshua ruthlessly knocked out Alexander Povetkin, and he himself is fully aware of how hard his countryman hits, having been rendered unconscious by him at Wembley Stadium last year.
However, neither of them apparently pack a punch as thunderous as this Australian powerhouse.

Kevin Johnson says Alex Leapai hits harder than Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois
Kevin Johnson has shared the ring with Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois, and even challenged Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight world title.
Following his attempt to relieve the legend of his championship belt, he battled it out with Alex Leapai back in 2012, at the Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane, Australia, winning the contest via ninth-round TKO.
Since their fight, the pair have shared multiple rounds together in sparring, and through those experiences, Johnson has concluded that the Aussie is the hardest puncher he’s ever faced.
In an interview with IFL TV, he said: “The worst punch I ever felt was Alex Leapai. And I s— you not it was harder than Vitali’s.”
