Fury on his personality

"Listen, I believe I should be winning Sport Personality of the Year because if it's about sporting achievements and it's about personality, then I'm a winner hands down."

Fury on his respect for boxers

"Any man who puts a pair of gloves on deserves respect because lots wouldn't dream of it. To get in there and go one-on-one, you need your hand shaking afterwards. Many men wouldn't get involved."

Fury on being knocked down by Deontay Wilder

“You can't go swimming and not get wet. And I got wet. I got drenched actually.”

Fury on the thought of losing to Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte or Oleksandr Usyk

‘If I lose to any of these bums, I'll never show my face in public ever again. I'll never be able to call myself the Gypsy King anymore, for losing to a weightlifter or a football player.’

Fury on his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk

“As it would seem, my rematch with people always ends up one way, I always end up knocking them out in the rematch. Whoever I faced more than once has been knocked out in the rematch.”

“I believe it will be my time this time and I believe that all things that happen, negative or positive, are lessons.”
