The WBC Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury, is currently sojourning in Thailand for his newly adapted boxing training camp. The other day, he was even spotted at a Muay Thai Tournament at the Rajadamnern stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Well, the next day, Fury visited an orphanage, HDF Mercy Centre, in the city of Bangkok, alongside pro boxer Isaac Lowe. Tyson Fury explained it as a “humbling experience“, where Fury spent some time with these adorable children. He also gave them goodies and Fury posted a bunch of wholesome snaps in his latest Instagram Post.

Along with that,  Fury also recalled the great words of wisdom of Nelson Mandela, as he wrote in the caption, “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” Now this situation has impacted the soon-to-be-father-of-seven on a whole different level. He stated that every child in this world “deserves love, care, and opportunities to thrive“.
