Many movies have already been chalked out based on iconic moments and personalities from the sport of boxing. There are also boxers who have explored the realm of acting. It is clearly an indicator of a multi-faceted personality with multiple known talents when we see a boxer make their name in the world of cinema. Tyson Fury recently sat down with his wife to talk about all of this.

In a conversation with The Hook, the Heavyweight boxer along with his wife Paris Fury mentioned their favorite movies either based on boxing or starring a boxing personality. The list included pop culture titles like Ali (2001), Rocky (1976), Creed (2015), and even The Hangover (2009). The couple had a lot of kind things to say about these titles, but what really warmed the hearts of fans was when they elaborately spoke about The Hangover. Finding a segway into one of their awestruck moments, they were all praises for The Rock.

A ‘very, very, very nice’ Dwayne Johnson praised by Tyson Fury

The Hangover is a 2009 comedy film that stars retired boxing legend, Mike Tyson in it. Speaking about how excited his kids were when they saw ‘Iron- Mike’, Fury delved deeper into the encounter he had with the iconic wrestler, Dwayne Johnson. His wife, Paris also chimed in as they elaborated on how nice and respectful the Rock was towards the family. The boxer said, “The rock aka Dwayne Johnson, he took time to talk to my kids. He was a real gentleman, remember, Paris? He was very very very nice, and also the kids are massive fans, like they are all wrestling fans, and they all love him. And he took a lot of time out to speak to the kids, and talk to them and answer their questions.”

The couple spoke about certain ‘annoying’ incidents. Paris said, “When we meet famous people we don’t really know, but the kids really know. And they go like Dad take me to meet Marshmallow….Who is Marshmallow?.. He’s a famous DJ dad.”

‘The Gypsy King’ in the Snatch Sequel

Again in jest, Tyson Fury hinted at being a part of the Snatch series’ sequel. In a conversation with JOE, he was asked about his thoughts on the news around the sequel, the boxer said he wants to meet Guy Ritchie. The latter is the writer and director of Snatch. The boxer said, “‘I’m due to have a couple of meetings with Guy, about a couple of movies. That could be some big news coming in the future, that’s a little preview for you there.”

Earlier, Ritchie seemed to connect the dots between Brad Pitt’s character from the title to the rising popularity of Tyson Fury. Further aligning the plot of the movie with the future of the sport. The plot of the movie revolves around a boxing promoter who is pushed by criminal bosses to put his boxer in the ring against the boss’ top boxer.
