This is Tyson Fury’s Guide to Self-Belief

The 'Gypsy King' is on top of the world

When Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder by technical knockout during their rematch in Las Vegas on February 22, 2020 - the 31-year-old not only took the WBC world championship from the Bronze Bomber, but also completed a cathartic and scarcely believable turnaround in his professional and personal life. Just three years ago Fury had been obese and struggling, and looked a world away from ever stepping back into a ring, never mind competing for a world title.

But how does Fury retain such incredible confidence and self belief in a world where it is often incredibly hard to do so? We sat down with him to find out.
