In the modern heavyweight era, there are only a few boxers who struck a vibrant connection with millions of fans. Undoubtedly, Tyson Fury is at the helm being the greatest heavyweight, for obvious reasons. The Briton is one of the most entertaining fighters of recent times who showcased trash-talking abilities, exemplary fighting prowess, and a charismatic persona.

Fury recently took part in a press conference for his April 23 fight against Dillian Whyte. Here, Fury spilled the beans on what gives him a better feeling than bagging the heavyweight straps.

He said, “100 percent. You know at the beginning of it all, when I was a young kid, dream was to be a world heavyweight champion. And I almost always felt that was my calling card until I was up with the mental health struggle and all that.”

“It’s good to be what you desire to be your whole life, but to save somebody’s life from death, that’s an even better feeling.”

After a win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, Fury took a long in-ring hiatus as he battled a terrible phase. He went into depression, gained weight, and didn’t have the motivation to do anything. But after all, he was destined to be the champion, and Fury again got back in the ring in 2018.
