In the clip, Fury said, “Hey guys, Queen’s funeral today. I’ve been off social media for the past 10 days, mourning in respect for our Queen who has died. Uhh, not posted nothing. Not been interested in anything else to be fair. I hope all the funeral goes well. Condolences to the full family. Uhh, may she rest in heaven for full eternity. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.”
On September 8, Britain lost its longest-reigning monarch. She took her last breath peacefully at Balmoral in the afternoon. A day later, her holy body was taken to London for consort.
Her demise had a big impact on the sporting world. In the tribute to the respected Queen, many organizations canceled events. The historic contest between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall, which was most likely to take place in London, was postponed.
‘The Gypsy King’, who was among the first to pay tribute to The Queen on social media, was spotted around Buckingham Palace. Along with his wife, the couple went there with a bouquet and a card.
That reads, “To our Queen, Great may your bed be in heaven. Love from Tyson and Paris xx Gypsy King x.”
He placed the bouquet and a card in front of Buckingham Palace.
What is Tyson Fury going to do in the coming months?
The two-time world heavyweight champ’s eyes are on his intense rival Anthony Joshua. After coming out of retirement, the 33-year-old decided to take a shot on reigning unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed run.
