“Gipsy King” in a right royal Mexican mood!

Prior to the fight against Otto Wallin, flamboyant Tyson Fury visited  the ring of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, to execute an impressive public training session, wielding a Mexican flag and wearing a “Mistico” wrestler mask.

“I understand how special it is to fight this weekend,” Fury said at the end of his lively workout, adding: “I feel a lot of connection with Mexico, because part of my team is from there, and I know that it is always special date for everyone.” The “Gipsy King” trained to the strains of the song “El Rey”, recorded Vicente Fernández….what else?!

Maestro boxer Fury rose to fame in 2015,  after defeating Wladimir Klitschko, and in so doing winning the undisputed status. He`ll have his fourth fight in the United States, where he has lived since last year.

“I have learned of Mexican culture. For me it is important, because I know that it is very significant in the world of boxing and this opportunity is really unique,  so  I greatly appreciate it.”

In this fight, one of the two Maya II belts created  by brilliant and innovative Mexican artisans will be at stake…an honorary and magnificent prize presented by the World Boxing Council.

The other Maya II belt will be presented to the winner of the match between Jaime Munguía and Ghanaian Patrick Allotey. (40-3 and 30 KO´s).
