Boxing legend Mike Tyson and the heavyweight champion named after him, Tyson Fury, feature in the Top 10 U.S. Google trends for 2020, WBN can reveal.
The elder Tyson – who made a comeback from a fifteen-year absence on November 28, alongside the current WBC ruler, is certainly the most Googled boxer on the planet.
Tyson scored a draw with Roy Jones Jr. and is now set for an extended run of exhibition bouts well into his 50s.
As for Fury, ‘The Gypsy King’ defeated Deontay Wilder in February after starring in WWE.
It’s safe to say the Top Rank headliner is the most recognizable pugilist in the sport.
As 2020 comes to a close, Google’s Year in America Search takes a look back at the trillions of searches that defined the past year.
Google revealed those trends on Wednesday, and World Boxing News was one of the world’s first websites to view the data.
Searches, along with the annual Year in Search video, are illustrated for this year. A year that will forever go down in history as the year of the pandemic.
