furypicThis has to be the greatest biography in sports:

Fury was born into a family of Irish Traveller heritage.[5] His paternal grandfather was fromĀ Tuam, County Galway, which is also the birthplace of his father John Fury.[6] His maternal grandmother is from County Tipperary and his mother was born in Belfast.[7][8] His family has a long history in boxing;[9] his father competed in the 1980s as “Gypsy” John Fury,[10]initially as a bareknuckle fighter and unlicensed boxer, and then as a professional boxer.[11]He is a cousin of Irish WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee[8] and heavyweight Hughie Fury.[12] Hughie’s father, Peter Fury, is also Tyson’s trainer.[13] He is also a distant relative of “self-styled King of the Gypsies[14]Bartley Gorman.[15][16] His father named him “Tyson” after then-world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.[9]

Congrats to Mr. Fury on defeating Ivan Drago Wladimir Klitschko. And what happened to the world in which a massive upset of the defending heavyweight world champion doesn’t even make the front page of ESPN?
