Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury says Deontay Wilder is copying him. “In fact, he’s even copying me look, he’s got no t-shirt on today, he learnt that from me.

“But you know, it’s supposed to be Bronze Bomber, do your own thing, stop copying the Gypsy King.” This little playground insult is not what fans expected from Fury, but it’s what they love to see from their British heavyweight champion.
