However, this was just the calm before the storm as John started to unleash his true self. He said that everyone should give him a special mention since he gave birth to ‘The Gypsy King’. Furthermore, he says that he does not fear any man on earth, no matter what they’ve done. “John Fury only one person and he’s not even of this world, that’s God Almighty,” said John.
Furthermore, he then decided to call out ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson for a fight. Mike was very calm and decided to direct the conversation towards Francis Ngannou. “Hey brother I’m just looking forward to this fight to start,” said the legendary boxer. However, John Fury was not taking any of that.
