Fury?s on again/off again career is on again this Saturday when he meets Joey Abell at the Copper Box Arena in London, England?
Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KOs) is a complicated man.
?I?m a very complicated man,? he says, according to BBC Sport. ?One minute I might be thinking about the stars, the next I might be thinking about punching somebody in the face.?
That?s complicated.
In addition to being complicated, Fury believes in traditional family values.
?I?m probably a hard person to live with, but it?s like it or lump it. My wife gets treated right and she thinks I?m a nice person. I?m not a woman, but to be married to a handsome man like me?a stallion?must be a good feeling.?
And so it must.
Fury?s on again/off again career is on again this Saturday when he meets Joey Abell (29-7, 28 KOs), hailing from Coon Rapids, Minnesota, at the Copper Box Arena in London, England. Fury will likely remain unbeaten, after which time a rematch with Dereck Chisora appears inevitable.
As complicated a stallion as Fury is, he is no less controversial.
?Doing controversial things in life is what you?ll be remembered for,? he says, ?not for how kind or how nice you were. People think of Mike Tyson and they don?t think youngest heavyweight world champion ever. They think of him raping someone, biting someone?s ear off, being the baddest man on the planet.?
When I think of Mike Tyson, Desiree Washington isn?t the first thing that comes to mind. But I?m neither a complicated stallion nor controversial, which perhaps explains it.
?People want to listen to what I say, whether it?s rubbish or facts. And not everyone is as gifted as me in being able to talk rubbish. Anybody can be Mr. Boring and sit in the corner and be nice and quiet. But that ain?t me. If I?m going somewhere, I?m going to be the life and soul of the place.?
I?m well acquainted with Mr. Boring. He may be dull, but without dull, how would we know who?s the life of the party?
?I?m an all-action man in anything I do,? continues Fury. ?If I?m drinking, I?m drinking until I can?t stand up any more. If I?m going out for Chinese, I?m going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese. If I?m eating cake, I?m eating the whole cake. I don?t know what you?d call me?an idiot, maybe??
One day Tyson Fury will be heavyweight champion of the world. It will be big change from the dignified Klitschkos, a very big change indeed.
