called Fury the \u201cdiamond\u201d of the heavyweight division<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cYeah, [Cristiano] Ronaldo brought them to football and Tyson Fury brought them to boxing. And they\u2019ve done well. They\u2019ve spent a lot of money on boxing. They\u2019ve made a lot of fights. All the big fighters have made plenty of dough out of it, which is what it\u2019s about.\u201d<\/p>\n
In spite of the global fame, the small entourage around Fury has never really grown. It has always been family. There are now seven children, one of whom trains with him; his oldest daughter Venezuela is engaged. Having known Fury for almost 20 years, he has not really changed.<\/p>\n
Fury says: \u201cToday, you could live in a castle and drive a piece of s— and you\u2019re a bum. But live in a tent and drive a Range Rover and you\u2019re a somebody. It\u2019s all backwards. I\u2019m not interested in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had stick for riding on budget airlines but why would I want to go and spend 30 grand on a three-hour flight when I can spend 130 quid? By the time we both get to Spain, private jet man has spent 30 grand and I\u2019ve spent 130 quid. I\u2019m only interested in making my wife and God happy. If I can do [those] two things, I\u2019ve done good.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy main priority is looking after my kids and enjoying what I\u2019ve got and the people around me, which is a very small circle. I don\u2019t have many hangers-on, and I never have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Then there is Joshua, and that era-defining fight. \u201cIf I can get past Makhmudov, get back to winning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[5276,210427,703,49,48,457,82,2225,3592,2008,5513],"class_list":["post-538312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-anthony-joshua","tag-anthony-joshua-vs-tyson-fury","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-standard","tag-thailand","tag-top-story","tag-tyson-fury"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
