Boxer

The Resume

    (August 12, 1988- )
    Born in Manchester, England, United Kingdom
    Defeated Wladimir Klitschko to win the unified World Heavyweight Championship (November 28, 2015)
    Stripped of the IBF title for refusing to fight their mandatory challenger (December 8, 2015)
    Vacated his WBA and WBO titles to deal with his ‘medical treatment and recovery’ (October 12, 2016)
    Pro record at the time was 25 wins (18 by KO), no losses

Why he might be annoying:

    He named his kids Prince and Venezuela.
    He showed up at a press conference dressed as Batman.
    He was fined £3,000 after calling fellow boxers David Price and Tony Bellew ‘gay lovers.’ (2013)
    He claimed Klitschko was a devil worshipper.
    He said, ‘There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the Devil comes home. One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is pedophilia.’ (2015)
    He said, ‘A woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back – that’s my personal belief.’ (2015)
    He said people were ‘brainwashed by the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers, all the TV stations.’ (2016)
    He responded to complaints by tweeting, ‘All the Zionist media outlets are on my back because I speak the truth.’
    He reportedly tested positive for the banned steroid nandralone (2015).
    He told ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine he was taking cocaine to deal with depression (October 8, 2016).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father, also a boxer, named him after Mike Tyson.
    He said, ‘When I was a kid we didn't have a family life. My mother and father were always shouting and screaming and hitting each other.’
    His victory over Klitschko was named ‘Upset of the Year’ by Ring magazine and led to Fury being named their ‘Fighter of the Year.’
    He claimed he and his wife were denied service at a restaurant because of his Gypsy heritage.
    Asked if he were homophobic or bigoted, he replied, ‘Definitely not. I wouldn’t be a very good Christian if I hated anybody.’
