‘Chugging Money Down the Toilet’: Tyson Fury Comes Clean on His Gambling Addiction
Follow Us
British boxing phenom Tyson Fury is among the most established boxers of our generation. His successful career has garnered massive fame and fortune. He was recently in a conversation with BT Sport Boxing, where he spilled some beans about his bad habits that made him lose millions of dollars.
‘The Gypsy King’ is slated to square off against Derek Chisora in their upcoming trilogy fight. During an interview recently, Fury went on to explain, “I sometimes bet on football and I bet the other night in boxing. And I rarely get one right to be fair. Like I always backed the underdogs and I think like if I’m putting 50 quid on, I want like 5000 in return, I don’t want like 75 quid returning. So like I bet all the underdogs and it always leaves me 50 or 100 quid. So it’s just like chucking money down the toilet, basically.”
