When did Tyson Fury stop being Irish?

12 comments

1. Like Rice and Grealish more money being British

2. Probably worth more to him with British tv deals, not to claim to be Irish.

3. When he was born in England to parents who were also born in England, came through the English amateur system and lived in England his entire life

4. If only we could get McGregor to embrace England too.

5. At birth

6. Remember when Garth Brooks wore an Ireland shirt when he played here? Wonder when he stopped being Irish

7. >he would wear [Antrim GAA tops to his fights](https://img.resized.co/balls_ie/eyJkYXRhIjoie1widXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL21lZGlhLmJhbGxzLmllXFxcL3VwbG9hZHNcXFwvMjAxNlxcXC8wM1xcXC8yNzE3NDU1MVxcXC9UeXNvbi1GdXJ5LU5pY29sYWktRmlydGhhLUtlbm5lZHktQ2VudHJlLTMxNDltajExLTEwMjR4NjgyLmpwZ1wiLFwid2lkdGhcIjo3MDAsXCJoZWlnaHRcIjozNzAsXCJkZWZhdWx0XCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL2NhY2hlLnJlc2l6ZWQuY29cXFwvbm8taW1hZ2UucG5nXCIsXCJvcHRpb25zXCI6W119IiwiaGFzaCI6IjhlMmMzYjEzNDFlM2E4MzUxNjc4ODYwZjBiOTkwYzNjNWY4ZGY0MWIifQ==/tyson-fury-nicolai-firtha-kennedy-centre-3149mj11-1024×682.jpg)

   I’ve heard of people going from winning sim racing tournaments and getting contracts to race real cars, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone becoming a pro-boxer after starting out in Wii boxing.

8. [when he became Mexican](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article20066464.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/0_Tyson-Fury-v-Otto-Wallin.jpg)

9. Whats he said or done to say he’s stopped being Irish?

   As far as I know, he’s always been fully dual-national and bigs up both his Irish and English backgrounds.

10. There’s more money in the British pound as they say, same reason Lennox Lewis stopped being Canadian.

11. The day he said he was giving his £7 mil paycheck to the homeless in Manchester as he didn’t need money… He’s getting 30+ mil sat🤷‍♀️

12. Maybe he stopped wearing gaa gear because he’s a rich successful heavy weight boxer and wears suits and stuff like that now?
