Nickname of Tyson Fury has a huge significance
Tyson Fury is an undefeated professional boxer with a 31-0-1 record. Many boxing fans and analysts felt that Fury had beaten Deontay Wilder in the draw against Wilder in the 2018 contest. However, Fury won the rematch with a TKO win and ended their trilogy in 2021 with a devastating knockout.
Fury has fought under various nicknames throughout his career. The most well-known and popular among the many nicknames is “The Gypsy King.” Fury’s father, John Fury, fought bare-knuckle boxing under the nickname “Gypsy”. The Fury family is related to legendary bare-knuckle boxers Uriah Burton and Bartley Gorman. Both were considered as ‘King of the Gypsies.’
Thus, Tyson Fury’s nickname is an ode to all his predecessors and his rich cultural roots as an Irish traveler. “Boxing is a key element of the traveling culture,” Fury told the BBC. “Before anything else, you learn how to fight.” Fury has spoken about potentially returning to the boxing ring, and fans are looking out for the announcement.
