If there was world championships for talking, I\u2019d be the undisputed champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Fury was then asked if a hypothetical tournament would end up with him facing Conor McGregor, one of the UFC\u2019s most infamous trash talkers, and he answered a matchup would be like a teacher facing a student.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cYeah, maybe, but I taught him,\u201d Fury said. \u201cHe copied me. He copied my style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\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<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">McGregor\u2019s outsized personality has often led to the wrong kinds of headlines and he\u2019s shown little restraint when it comes to targeting his opponents\u2019 personal lives, including taking underhanded shots at the wives of rivals Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For Fury, family is a line that should never be crossed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cNo, never, another rule of mine is I never talk about the fighter\u2019s family, wife, children, anybody,\u201d Fury said. \u201cI can take the piss out of a fighter, but never the family, because this fighter is like me in the show business game. They should be ready for an onslaught, so I never say stuff about people\u2019s families or anything. It\u2019s only about me and the fighter, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cBoxing, to me, is not personal. It\u2019s a business. So whatever I\u2019ve said in a press conference or a fight build-up, it\u2019s not personal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury thinks Conor McGregor owes him a debt of gratitude.
