Fury is far from a heavy puncher (in context of course.... I mean he could probably knock me out cold!).
His record shows you that, many fighters have gone the distance who you really wouldn’t expect too
He has no major power on his head hooks or straight right
His new power jab is monsterous. 274 pounds behind a stiff arm.
His best power punches are his overhand right and hooks to the body.
Fury has always been an accumulation fighter. He can hold pace for 12 rounds which no heavyweight can do.
I think your forgetting Usyk moved up to heavyweight.

Most accurate response so far imo
It's not so 'new' though (power jab), he used it before (Hammer, Chisora II etc).
Wladimir Kiltschko backed Tyson Fury up all night, non-stop for 12 rounds 'Fury's power could not really deter Kiltschko'.
I think Tyson Fury's power is not terrible, but for his size? It has been quite under par etc
Right now as we speak? Fury for the first time in his career 'Has a intimidation factor'. Before Wilder II, no real top heavyweight was fearing facing Fury 'Because he was more of a Riddler type of fighter, somebody who was going to bamboozle you and steal the fight'.
But this perception has now universally change since, he beat Deontay Wilder in their rematch 'Now people claim that Tyson Fury is some sort of wrecking machine, the second coming of Mike Tyson'.
Note: Anthony Joshua's intimidation factor has went down, while Tyson Fury's has slightly increased among their fellow competitors.
Of course he isn’t heavy handed. A 67% KO ratio for a heavyweight fed largely on bums apart from 2 names proves it.
Of course he ‘hits hard’ to the average person, he’s a giant. But in the realm of heavyweight boxing punchers he’s nowhere.

He has some power I want to know where does his punching power fit it in ?
He is neither explosive nor heavy-handed. He also doesn't throw punches with excellent technique (leverage).
Average at best. He couldn't stop Otto Wallin. Enough said.
But he could wobble Wilder in the first fight and stops him in the second fight.
Sometimes Fury takes fights as sparring sessions fighting of the back foot.
I think when Fury is in war mode and loads his punches with his 275 pounds he is a pretty hard/heavy handed hitter.
That right hand that dropped Wilder and that body punch that lifted Wilder were pretty bad a77.
Based on everyone who has sparred with him he hits very hard. Don't judge him off fights when he is boxing off the back foot. It's clear he has power when he sits down on a shot, not Wilder power, but I'd say just a fraction below Joshua, whilst being much better in every other area.
Seems heavy handed but not explosive
Any guy his size who’s been boxing training all his life can bang and could probably take anyone out if he lands enough
However until the second wilder fight he has never really sat down on his punches
Also while he can stop anyone with accumulated punches, who is going to stand there and let him hit them clean
