The world's sexiest athlete has been named

World boxing champion Tyson Fury was recognised as the winner of the rating "The Sexiest Athlete in the World" according to the dating app "Illicit Encounters". About it writes Marca.

It is reported that about two thousand British women took part in the voting. According to their choice, Tyson overtook Cristiano Ronaldo, who for many years was considered the most beautiful athlete on the planet.

Many believed that Fury does not have the most aesthetic physique in professional sports, but at the same time saw him as a man with great charisma. That's why English women voted him "the sexiest athlete in the world"," the Spanish publication said in an article.

According to the publication, Tyson Fury scored 9.3 points out of 10 among female participants. The second place in the list went to British boxer Anthony Joshua, and Travis Kelsey (a player in American football), dropped to third place.

Fourth place went to British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, and fifth place went to Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The journalists suggested that the ranking had some bias and pointed out that there were several Brits on it, and also noted that the "sex list" included several athletes who are not usually admired for their physiques, such as Lionel Messi himself or golfer Rory Mcllroy.

I will now brag about this achievement to my family. I would like to thank everyone who supported me. All my friends and family. This is a very special moment for me. I'm the sexiest athlete ever. Never say never! - Fury said in an interview with Sportskeeda.
