Tyson Fury believes his gift of gab rubbed off on Conor McGregor during the \u201cNotorious\u201d one\u2019s ascent.<\/p>\n

McGregor has long been known for his bravado on the mic and during interviews. While many believe that McGregor\u2019s prime years are long gone, the popular Irish star still has a presence that very few, if any, can match. Fury believes McGregor replicated the work he was putting in to build his fights.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ALF Global<\/a>, \u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d took credit for McGregor\u2019s ability to move audiences with his trash talk (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI taught him,\u201d Fury said. \u201cHe copied me. He copied my style.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been talking shit from the beginning. A long time. I don\u2019t do it to get in their heads. Boxing is a show business. Boxing is Hollywood. Boxing is a movie. The fans have to be entertained, so when they tune in and pay pay-per-view to watch Tyson Fury fight, press conference build-up, they\u2019re going to see a show. That\u2019s why they come to see. It\u2019s going to be a crazy show, something\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s like a circus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury and McGregor first won world titles in 2015. Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF, The Ring, and IBO heavyweight titles<\/a>. McGregor stopped Chad Mendes to capture the interim UFC featherweight gold before pulling off a stunning 13-second knockout over Jose Aldo to earn the undisputed distinction.<\/p>\n

Over the years, fans have seen similarities between \u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d and \u201cMystic Mac\u201d in terms of verbal sparring. Some feel that McGregor has a more aggressive approach<\/a> that tends to get personal depending on the opponent. Fury noted that he draws the line when it comes to talking about family.<\/p>\n
