    Tyson Fury - Special needs?

    This is a question proposed by my gf, and she is deadly serious, she doesnt want to start a thread where everyone starts 'bullying' him -

    Does Tyson Fury have any development problems or learning difficulties? As I said, she is genuinely interested, she works with people with mental health issues and she was curious after watching the fight last night.

    According to her it wasnt jsut what he was saying, it was how he was saying it, apparently his body laugh, articulation and general manor indicated some level of developmental disability. She did some googling and nothing came back.

    From my point of view, he did look like he could be a little 'slow', like he wasnt really in the room with everyone else.

    You might want to consider running a spell-check over your post before you start asking whether someone has learning difficulties...
    What is a "body laugh" by the way, sounds fun?

        Tyson Fury is not developmentally disabled.

        He's from a different culture, the Irish Travellers. Their ways of socially interacting and self-expression are a little different, that's all.

          The guy seemed totally coherent after his fight in the interview. A little excitable, very ****ey, the facial expressions are odd at times too. But like the poster above echo his travelling background.

          He impressed me last night, thats easily the best Ive seen him, would Wlad break him up....maybe, but Tyson can take a good punch and dig a little himself.

            He was born prematurely,he died 4 times as an infant and was resuscitated in the incubator.When he was born he was 1lbs so it's possible he has special needs but we cant laugh at that,he didnt choose that way.
