Tyson Fury ranks among the prime heavyweight faces of the new boxing era.

Recently, he shared a picture on his Twitter handle, wherein he’s seen posing with all his belts after the Klitschko fight. He wrote a powerful caption for this image to lure one and all. “never judge someone by there exterior look. i looked on top of the world but inside i was dying.”

Fury gained an extensive amount of weight while he was suffering from depression, but he defied all the odds when he decided to lace up the boxing gloves again. ‘The Gypsy King’ piled on to the top by hammering all of his opponents, and later he cracked a fight with Wilder.

This was his biggest ever fight that held gigantic responsibilities to make or break his career. That said, Fury fared exuberantly well in this clash and went till the last round against ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
