No Idea, no one has ever taken him past 3 rounds and the bloke has a 2.11m reach :shock:
Dan Birdwell - You have to play this game like somebody just hit your mother with a two-by-four.

Fury v Klitschko

Loved the line in the press conference - "I'll tell you one thing, this Klit is gonna get licked"

A bloke from the pub doesn't think so:

Background

"Born and raised in Manchester, England, Fury was born into a family of Irish Traveller heritage.[5] His paternal grandfather was from Tuam, County Galway, which is also the birthplace of his father John Fury.[6] His maternal grandmother is from County Tipperary and his mother was born in Belfast.[7][8] His family has a long history in boxing;[9] his father competed in the 1980s as "a nomadic or free-spirited person" John Fury,[10] initially as a bare-knuckle fighter and unlicensed boxer, and then as a professional boxer.[11] He is a cousin of Irish WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee[8] and heavyweight Hughie Fury.[12] Hughie's father, Peter Fury, is also Tyson's trainer.[13] He is also a distant relative of "self-styled King of the a nomadic or free-spirited person"[14] Bartley Gorman.[15][16] His father named him "Tyson" after then-world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.[9]"

PIKEY!

Or does "Irish traveller heritage" have a different meaning these days?

That's exactly why he's not a bit of one.

Fury's now upset the politically correct by saying women belong in the Toilet Seats and to make him a cup of tea. I'm starting to like the bloke.

Didn't even realise he was an Aussie. Shock win with that one.

Congratulations to Australia for getting their first ever heavyweight world champion. Haye has already made comments about wanting to fight him.
