Self-styled “Gypsy King” Fury put the snap online and said: “When past meets present.”
Fury was three months premature and weighed just 1lb when he was born in 1988.
But his dad named him after the heavyweight champ at the time.
The duo, who first met in 2016, got together for the fearsome US legend’s podcast.
Fan Geraint Goodridge wrote online: “A great photo of two very tough men.”
Bruce Pratt replied: “But who wins?”
