Were the Burtons Romany? It seems to say here that they were also Irish Travellers, not Romany.
Fury's great grand uncle, Traveler bare knuckle boxer, Uriah Burton:
" When I was 16, I admired only two fighters: Rocky Marciano and Uriah Burton. Everyone had heard of Marciano, the world heavyweight champion who never took a backward step and never lost a fight. But Burton was known only in the secretive world of the Travellers, a name uttered in hushed tones. He was an ogre, they said. He had the strength of five men. He beat opponents two at a time. He would stop at nothing and fight to the death. He sounded like something from the Dark Ages, more myth than man. Only when I came to know him did I realise the stories were true.

the Undefeated Champion"

I don't know how much of that book you read, Homicide, or if you just did some googling, but the bits I've read provide contradictory info on whether Uriah Burton was a Romany or Irish Traveler gypsy, but mostly it seems to say that he is the latter, a Traveler, as is Tyson Fury his grand nephew or whatever it is. The fact that he was blond also indicates that he was not Romany as they are mostly dark and swarthy having originated in India. Other sources say that he was one or the other - and I doubt that you could get an honest answer from any of them either as their policy is never to tell the truth to a gayo.
That's an interesting book, free online too. I'm planning to read it.

Fury is one of my favorites.
He's a character, and one that doesn't appear fake for a change. Sure, he hams it up big time, but it just comes naturally to him.

Honestly who cares what a boxer says about homosexuals? It has nothing to do with the sport, all we want to see is them fight.

He is no worse than Mike Tyson was, doing and saying some of the crap he did. Maybe he was named after him? M. Tyson is a pathetic excuse for a human being. Tyson Fury is just an entertaining idiot.

Tyson is not a pathetic excuse for a human being. Broner, Floyd and Sarah Palin are far more deserving of that label.
Tyson was a kid gone wrong who is trying to turn his life around and in many ways has succeeded. The others mentioned are products of greed, celebrity and stupidity. Turds.

He'll magically become an "overrated target" a little over a week from now, so I suppose idiot isn't that bad, all things considered.

Tyson Fury has no defense against a great power puncher.
Fury is going to get hit hard and clean very often early in the fight.
If Steve Cunningham could ... you get it.
The people picking Fury expect him to withstand 20+ straight rights from Wlad.
I don't see him weathering that.

Who is the fornicate are you trying to convince here? He is a convicted rapist, bit part of a guys ear off in a boxing match, and told his opponent he would eat his children? A kid gone wrong? Are you fornicating retarded? The others mentioned are products of greed, celebrity, and stupidity?
I am one of the few that have told him he is a piece of shit to his face.

Fury is an idiot. He said some really stupid things.
I still hope he wins because he is entertaining in and out of the ring and boxing needs characters.

I resemble these remarks. My 2c is I don't hate someone for just being religious, but I feel sorry for anyone who trumps faith over reason.

When Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists at the 1968 Olympics, people talked.
When Ali spoke about whites, segregation, and the Vietnam War, people talked.
Fury has a right to mouth off, but fans mouthing off, to what athletes are mouthing off to, is part of being a fan. Nothing new here, Brut.

I'm guessing that Orlando Cruz would be able to kayo the pair of us before we messed his hair up.

You didn't need to "say" anything, it's as clear an example of hate speech as would be in any dictionary. It's also grossly inaccurate. I mean obviously, as sweeping generalizations tend to be.
