The Brit legend, Tyson Fury, is one top-graded heavyweight of the modern boxing era. He had the greatest comeback to the sport after coping with depression and mental illness. The past couple of years have been extremely favorable for the ‘Gypsy King’s professional boxing run, and he now sits at the top of the gigantic men’s roster.

His former trainer Pat Barrett was in a chat with Sky Sports, wherein he shared an amazing anecdote of Fury’s younger boxing days.

This incident flashed back to the time when the ‘Gypsy King’ was still an amateur who went to compete in Germany. He had a little disagreement with his the then head coach Brian Hughes and talked about the same point with Barrett.

Barrett said, “Brian Hughes believes in you, he’s come with you in Germany,” 

Fury acknowledged this point and didn’t say a word. Instead, the next day he was at the gym, fighting sturdy heavyweights and landing bombs on them.

That day, Barrett figured out that Tyson Fury wasn’t a normal boxer. He was a highly committed fighter who possessed the ability to knock any and every heavyweight out. Barrett envisaged Fury to be a heavyweight champion for a long time, and the brit certainly achieved that.

Not only that, but Barrett believed Fury was a ‘thinking fighter’ who outplayed his opponents with his strong mindset in and outside the ring.
