Max @ CSBD Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) A father's guiding hand, a wife's endless support and habitual trips to the rubbish tip have helped Tyson Fury reclaim his place back at the top of the boxing mountain. The 31-year-old British heavyweight ripped the WBC world heavyweight title from Deontay Wilder on 22 February in the latest twist since his comeback to the sport following 30 months on the sidelines battling a litany of personal problems. An all-access documentary filmed by ITV has charted some of the 20 months since Fury returned to the ring and embarked on his world-title crusade. Here are five things 'The Gypsy King' captured. Hearn 'ready' to seal deal for Joshua v Fury December fight Fury or Joshua? I just want to fight the best' - Whyte Dad's the word Fury's decision to split from Ben Davison two months before his February rematch with Wilder raised eyebrows. Many pointed to criticism of trainer Davison by Fury's father John as the catalyst. Fury's father said his son had been too light in the ring and it is clear the fighter listens to no-one in the same way he does his dad. Moments after beating Wilder, Fury shared an emotional phone call with his father - who is unable to visit America due to a previous conviction - and pointing back to the weight issue, said: "I was too strong for him dad. I was 19st 4lbs tonight, solid." John Fury replied: "You're the best fighting man I have ever seen in my whole entire life. It was a masterclass, the best I have ever, ever seen in my life. Let me tell you son, it was some performance and I'm still shaking. Love you son." Edited April 9, 2020 by -Dark Closed topic / Complete 1 day
