Mike Tyson was left in tears after an emotional speech from John Fury.
The pair recorded a podcast in Saudi Arabia and Fury opened up on his admiration for the former baddest man on the planet.
He said,
“I watched this man since he first turned pro in early 1985, is that right, Mike? I watched everything he’s done.
“I didn’t have any money, I had no electricity, no running water all I had was a petrol generator that you had to pull a string out to make it work.
“I used to get up at ten past three in the morning, start my generator, ready for this guy to rock and roll.
“I spent my whole life admiring him and I felt sorry for him at the same time when Cus died.
“He was like a father to you wasn’t he? He was his father and many a time when I’ve seen the documentaries with your pidgins and that with you and Cus.
“I got heavy-hearted. I got a lump in my throat. I thought, You know what? If he can come here and meet us, we could be his brothers, father could have been his father and looked after him for the man he is. Not for what people can get out of him.”
Tyson then asked the cameras to stop filming as his eyes filled with tears.
