Tyson Fury reflects on his journey to the top in a motivational Instagram post - "King of the world"
Tyson Fury has seen the best and worst of life in the past few years. From unified Heavyweight Champion of the world, to overweight and struggling through mental health issues, then back to being champion.
Fury is not the kind of person who knows how to quit. 'The Gypsy King', as he is so aptly named, was born to rule the boxing world with his ability, flair and charisma.
An emotional Tyson Fury took time away from trash-talking his opponents to pen an emotional message on Instagram. Here's what he said:
"king of the world but never forgot where i come from. started here in morecambe & still here. iv kept grounded and stayed true to my self, it’s a lonely place on top of the world believe in your self & follow your dreams you never know what is possible. with faith anything is possible all praise be to God #Withfaiththesizeofamustardseedwecanmovemountains."
Fury is now one of the biggest attractions in boxing and arguably the most talented heavyweight pugilist in the world. His work ethic and never-give up attitude is what separates him from the rest of the competition.
'The Gypsy King' is also a physical specimen, standing six feet, seven inches tall and weighing more than 200 pounds. However, he moves around the ring like a welterweight. His speed and head movement is unnatural for someone his size and weight.
