John Fury makes a surprising yet candid confession

In the video shared by Seconds Out on YouTube, John Fury at one point started to praise KSI and Logan Paul. Even after the wreck of a press conference where he threw all the stuff and kicked KSI’s table down, he still shared his admiration for the YouTuber-turned-boxer. He stated that he thinks “they’re brilliant kids.” He also acknowledged that Paul and KSI are bringing a lot of attention to the sport of boxing. This helps the sport grow, hence earning Fury’s admiration. He said, “A lot of bums on seat and you can only admire people who does a lot better then I do.”

Moreover, he also opened up about how he feels about not doing anything worthy in his life. He said, “You know, I have accomplished nothing in my life.” He further added, “ Because without Tyson Fury I’m nobody and the rest of the family ain’t (either). You know what I’m saying, so all I mean is to my son, I say all the time you know son, it is what it is innit?” ‘Gypsy’ believes that ‘The Gypsy King’ is the only thing he is proud of in his life. His belief stems from the fact that he didn’t have that much of a successful career as a boxer himself like his child, Tyson Fury. However, when you have a son like Fury, it’s really a great accomplishment in itself.
