Mike Tyson, the former two-time heavyweight champion, has inspired the reigning WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to become what he is now. The former champ had a big impact on Fury’s life. Fury’s father named him after the legend. To date, Fury has great respect for ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ and he still takes inspiration from him.

Recently, he took to Instagram and shared Iron Mike’s viral video on his story and penned down a two-word message to the champ.

He wrote, “Well said @miketyson.”

The viral video shows Tyson saying his famous quote, “Everybody that you fight is not your enemy, and everybody that helps you is not your friend and that’s what life taught me.”

Notably, ‘Kid Dynamite‘ has been through all ups and downs of his life. His childhood was heavily influenced by poverty and a crime-ridden neighborhood. Then, under the wings of Cus D’Amato, he became a boxing phenomenon. Made a lot of money, went to jail, and came back and clinched his heavyweight titles again.

Tyson Fury is set to face Derek Chisora

After calling out several names, Fury’s eyes are back on Derek Chisora, his former opponent for a trilogy. According to ESPN, ‘The Gypsy King’ and his old rival Chisora are going to book their contest for December 3 in the United Kingdom.

The 32-0 was not sure of his return to the ring after knocking out the title challenger Dillian Whyte earlier this year in April. However, later he changed his mind and called out Chisora.

Before anything significant could happen, Fury shifted his target to Anthony Joshua, the former unified heavyweight champion. He offered him the fight, but things did not turn out as he expected. As a result, he came back to Chisora.
