Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Making an Art of Fantastical Storytelling

[MulaKO]

Yes but like any good film - it still needs the element of truth for it to be funny/entertaining. Sure he will keep his die-hard fans onboard but he's losing everyone else.

Fury was at his best when he was trash talking Cunningham up until Klitchsko.

Since then he is talking like he is the best fighter in the world and mocking Wilder and AJ while fighting far worse opponents than his much lower-ranked cousin Hughie is. Doesn't work any more. It's all just random noise.

He’s still entertains me although I know he’s full of chit lol
But I do get what your saying and I do agree that lately he’s been taking his character to a new extreme

Funnily enough, this one is actually not a lie (Although a very embellished truth to say the least)

Go on google earth and take a trip down Oxcliffe Road and surrounding areas in Morecambe, UK.
This is a predominately Gypsy area.

All those houses, the ones with caravans in the drive, all Gypsy houses funded with a lot of help from Fury and family.

Speak to any traveller round my way and they will all tell you the same, Tyson bought houses, cars, new caravans (and a **** ton of coke).... but the majority went back to the Gypsys

So I suppose, it all depends whether you consider living in a caravan homeless??

Thank you for the info. He said he donated his entire purse (9 million pounds) though and not to random Gypsy friends, but to UK charities. https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/4...arity-rematch/

A quick Google search finds no record from anyone other than himself that he donated any money either to charities or other travellers. That's strange. Organizations always advertise it because others then might donate. When asked about it, he says he doesn't want a pat on the back. I straight up don't believe him. Lying about donating to charity is super low.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger :-) I don't agree with it either but it's not really a subject of controversy where I live, it's common knowledge, regularly flaunted by the local Gypsy population and is frowned upon by the locals (including me)

Google searching for records on travellers though, lol, that's brilliant.

not trying to shoot messenger. i appreciate your take. i just don't like the guy. i'm pretty sure wilder ko's him this time and that will be end of his storytelling.

In bold, thats it right there. That's what I've been saying.

The guy who wrote this expose on Fury's constant lying might want to look into this charity thing. Fury has also been telling stories recently about bumping into random depressed people and "saving their lives." I've read two different accounts of these incidents: in one, an unidentified depressed and suicidal man shows up at Fury's house, they go for a run, and the man is miraculously instantly cured of his depression!

The charity story and these recent "savior" stories are particularly odious if untrue. And the writer of the this piece is right: today's unpaid or underpaid boxing "journalists" are often just worried about access to fighters and press passes to big fights and won't rock the boat by calling out a big name like Tyson Fury. He feeds them sensationalist BS stories and they line up begging for more.

Tyson Fury must surely be challenging for the "biggest liar in sports" title at this point!
