During the conversation, Morgan asked Fury his thoughts about Mike Tyson’s recent flight incident.
Fury responded by showing his support for Tyson. He said, “If he’s man enough to prod Mike Tyson, and touch him, and call him names and abuse him on plane, then man up and take a punch in the face.”
He also said the person should have paid Tyson, and that he would have done the same.
Fury said, “He should be paying Mike. Now he can say he’s been punched in the face by a legend… I’d pay for that myself.”
