Tyson Fury says he was dropped 3 times in training by an LHW, then takes it back

Boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed on social media that he had been beaten up by a light heavyweight, but subsequently stated that he was just “fooling” everyone.

Tyson Fury is well known for his bombastic personality. The British boxer has been very outspoken throughout his career, and has arguably ramped it up even more since he defeated Wladimir Klitschko for lineal heavyweight supremacy last November.

This week, as he prepares for a rematch with Klitschko in July, he claimed on social media that he was dropped three times by a light heavyweight sparring partner:

Then I come up with coz your the GYPSY KING, My fighting heart will carry me through the tough times in the ring, we will see on July 9 what I’m made of!

That doesn’t sound too good. But a couple of days later, Fury followed that up with two more posts claiming that he was just messing with everyone:

“Ok guys iv been fooling you all, There was no knockdowns in the gym, as if it’s possible for me to get chinned off a LHW lol, lost over 10kg feeling great never been so on cores for a fight with 2 month left to go, stripping the weight nicely, but keeping the muscle, all going good, #gypsyking I play mind games,King.”

“fooled u all, lol feeling like a boss, wait a minuet I am the boss! Lol on this ting, retaining my title as the gypsy King on July 9, never fear when the King is here, feeling fantastic roll on July 9 Manchester arena, 2016 boooooooom, the King has spoken..”

Sure, okay. Not sure what to make of all that. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old Fury (25-0, 18 KO) and Klitschko will meet in Manchester on July 9th in one of the bigger boxing fights of 2016.
