I remember supporting Tyson when he was fighting out of the Holy family boxing club in Belfast before moving on to the Smithboro Gym in county Monaghan, later he represented Ireland on an international level and won a bronze medal in 2006 at the AIBA Youth championships. Well done to this Irish hero who the british try claim as theres lol, pathetic.

John Sullivan and Jim Corbett were basically Irish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Sullivan#Early_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Corbett#Biography Bob Fitzsimmons had an Irish father too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Fitzsimmons#Biography If Fury wants to identify as Irish I'd call him the 4th. Fitzsimmons was half Irish and English.

He has now stated he dreams of fighting in Ireland's historic national stadium Croke Park. What an Irish warrior legend

Whatever you want to say Fury considers himself British. He lives in England. And represents Britain in boxing, not Ireland. So whether or not he calls himself Irish as well, he's obviously British. That's what you call an open and shut case. he said his win was for Ireland and Britain

He doesn't care, he is a traveller.. give him a Romanian passport and he would travel with it to Germany.

Furys received a lot of hate, especially from the English. Travelers are hated here. So i don't blame him for dedicating his win to Ireland. Most Brits ride Anthony Joushas ****, they even noshed off David Price. Fury has always been on the sidelines.

Carl Frampton is English because Frampton is an English name. The Irish always trying to claim everybody as their own :lol1:

Besides isn't it the Irish who like to claim everybody as their "own"? One drop rule... if you're 1/24 "Irish" then you're Irish, period. lol.

If Fury is Irish... then I'm gonna claim Ricky Hatton as German. Anglo-Saxons and all that. Deutschland!

This one seems appropriate Where can you find out about the blood relations of an Englishman? -In the family tree. Where can you find out about the blood relation of an Irishman? - In the Dublin Phone Registry.
