Heavyweight boxing has lacked colourful personalities of the last few years which led to many boxing fans losing interest in the heavyweight division.
However, Tyson Fury’s magnificent win against Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf back in November last year has reignited the heavyweight division and returned it to its former glory.
With Tyson Fury holding the WBA, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, his victory has left the division wide open, but, it is not Fury’s fighting ability which gets all the attention, it’s his antics out of the ring that get boxing fans talking.
Dressing up as Batman and taking his shirt off in front of the world’s press are just a few of the crazy moments which have got both fans, journalists and fighters past and present talking.
Despite being criticised for his antics, Fury certainly gets the fans talking and is generating his own fanbase as a result.
So here at Read Boxing, lets look back at his antics which he classes as mind games.
