10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Tyson Fury

10. The Gypsy King

Tyson Fury seems to fit right in when it comes to WWE; not only is he bloody massive but he comes with his own nickname: 'The Gypsy King'.

This moniker is a nod to his Irish Traveller roots. This community are known for their love of boxing and are famous for producing some of the best Irish & British boxers in history. Furthermore, the Fury boxing legacy doesn't begin with Tyson.

Fury's father, John, competed as a bare-knuckle boxer throughout the 1980s under the nickname 'Gypsy' John Fury, and Tyson is a cousin of numerous professional boxers like Hughie Fury, Nathan Gorman and former WBO world middleweight champion Andy Lee.

Finally, Fury is also a distant relative of Uriah Burton and Bartley Gorman, two bare-knuckle boxers who were once considered 'Kings of the Gypsies'.

Clearly for Tyson Fury, the title of 'Gypsy King' isn't just an epithet, but a way of life.
