The Ring Magazine heavyweight champion of the world is back in training ahead of his comeback in April but he’s also made time to do something rather special for one child.
Fury comes in for a lot of stick online and in various quarters in the media but behind the scenes those in boxing will tell you he’s a sharp and caring individual.
Often times the following moments don’t make many media outlets but this has to be highlighted as perhaps one of the most heart warming things seen in boxing this year so far:
What a gentleman @Tyson_Fury is, spent time with my 7 year old autistic son, he’s made his day. What a legend! All the best Pal 👊 pic.twitter.com/n1475PkpxQ

Fair play Tyson Fury. A champion inside and outside the ring.
The picture has already received a huge amount of praise online with some of the following bits of feedback so far;
As nice a guy as you’re ever gonna meet. Top man.

A story that is extremely positive about him is in no way as interesting to the tabloids as a untrue, twisted story that shows Tyson in a slightly negative light. Can’t wait for the pretenders to be beaten by the REAL heavyweight champion of the world
