To have Gypsy blood in your veins means that you come from a clan of fighters with a remarkable history and great legacy. It is in the Gypsy blood to never give up and retain what is rightfully theirs for the taking. Tyson Fury has been living up to all those principles for a long time. The ‘Gypsy King’ is one of the most successful heavyweights of all time. He became the unified champion in 2015 after beating Wladimir Klitschko. He currently holds the WBC heavyweight title, and it does not seem like anyone will be able to take that away from him right now. The great ‘Iron Mike’ himself believes that Fury is here to stay for a while as a champion.

Tyson also talked about Oleksandr Usyk and said that size is not a factor in the Usyk-Fury fight. He said that Fury will not do what Anthony Joshua did against ‘The cat.’
