Fury has been a passionate promoter for mental health. Moreover, he had mentioned that he would never endorse gambling because of its effects on mental health. He said, “I am against advertising gambling, alcohol, CBD oils, and so forth and so on. It leads to mental health struggles, in my opinion, and can cause people to commit suicide.”

However, his recent interview with Unibet left fans outraged. Notably, Unibet is a platform that focuses on sports betting.
Tyson Fury on the video of him kicking out at a taxi: "Every idiot Brit abroad with a few beers in them – it's what we do. Who has never been on holiday, got p***ed up and acted a mug? I'm not some robot who gets told what to say and what to do. I'm real." [@UnibetLowdown]

I’m from the UK and you will never see me kick a taxi 😂

No we don’t go around kicking taxis mate

Additionally, a few users mentioned that they would never go around kicking taxis on a holiday.
The old "we've all done it before" defence. The same old cognitive dissonance at play from Fury.
— Pauly Fuller (@PaulyFu63688695) June 14, 2022
User @PaulyFu63688695 mentioned that Fury should not justify his actions by justifying that it has been done before.
Notice how Tyson was first to comment about AJ confronting the students but when he's acting like a drunken thug kicking and screaming at taxi drivers going about their job, it's a laugh with no remorse. Prick
— Kristophe (@Kreestoph274639) June 14, 2022
However, user @Kreestoph274639 pointed out the irony that Fury called Anthony Joshua out for threatening college students.
Fans react to Fury’s potential return

Fans were surprised by the fact that he contradicted his previous ‘retirement’ revelation.
If Usyk wins, he shall stay retired. If by some miracle Joshua wins, fury will come out of retirement. The tougher fight for Fury is Usyk, not Joshua.
— bombs boxing™ (@bombsboxing) June 14, 2022
User @bombsboxing mentioned that Usyk would be a tougher opponent for Fury when compared to Joshua.
Walking contradiction,he's hoping he don't av to fight usyk and if he does he wants cash out money,thought he was different 🫣
— UKraine (@Davidbconstable) June 14, 2022
Additionally, user @Davidbconstable pointed out the contradiction in Fury’s words.
