Tyson Fury, the undefeated British heavyweight, has already achieved a lot of great things inside the ring. However, his victories outside the ring sets him apart from the rest.
That said, he has got all the reputed world titles under his name and Tyson Fury never hesitates to boast about them. He became the WBC heavyweight champion of the world after his sensational KO win over Deontay Wilder in February 2020.
‘The Gypsy King’ is in love with his belts, and he likes to spend some time with them. He recently turned to social media and flaunted his two Ring Magazine titles and the WBC belt.

Tyson Fury is on a roll with his boxing world titles
Recently, ‘The Gypsy King’ posted a clip where he flaunted his newly achieved WBC title and Ring magazine belts that he received after defeating Wilder. Fury revealed that he carries those belts to boost himself when he feels low.
Talking about it, the undefeated heavyweight said, “So every time I feel a little bit down, I carry the belts. Two Ring Magazine belts, only third person to do that, and that’s the WBC. Just to remind myself how far I have come and who I am and what I have done.”

When Fury faced Klitschko for the unified world titles, the Ring Magazine belt was also on the line. Fury went to a war with Klitschko that night and out-classed him for all the rounds. It was a historic night for him as he ended the Ukrainian’s alarming dominance in the division.
