Tyson Fury has become the top heavyweight fighter in the present after dethroning Deontay Wilder last February.
Came with it was his worth as a boxer, he is now estimated to have 70 million euros net worth.
Pretty amazing story to tell after he battled depression that cost him his former lineal world title belts and almost his life.
Aside from his recent battle, Fury shared his humble beginning as a boxer after he donated his eight million dollars earning to the homeless after the Wilder rematch.
“I would be selling cars and stuff. Car dealing, that sort of thing. I sold a few cars, cut a few trees. Anything to try and get a few quid to pay my bills and look after my family,” said Fury on an article released by the Sun.
The Gypsy King was not a big hit when he first came into boxing that’s why he had to find a day job to give something to his family.
He revealed that he even washed and fixed cars before while working on his dad’s business.
“He was a used-car dealer and I used to wash the cars down, clean them out and so on.
\”I would do stuff for him pretty much every day, it was quite a good job to be honest.
“I did it all the way through school, from about the age of ten until I was 16.
“I was always quite good at fixing and working with cars. My dad’s always dealt cars and I’ve always been brought up around them.”
Fury added that those times helped him to appreciate the money and the hard work he did.
Those memories ignited him to give as much as he can to the needy nowadays as he has risen to the top of the hill.
Somehow, Fury can be linked to what Manny Pacquiao has been doing for years and they are both philanthropists.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
