Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury spoke again about Conor McGregor and stated that the UFC star had copied his style of promoting fights. In an interview with ALF Global, available this Wednesday (26), the Briton recalled his provocative personality and highlighted the way he built his image throughout his career.
Known for his strong 'trash talk' and ability to turn provocations into a spectacle, Fury compared his stance to McGregor 's and claimed that the Irishman had followed a formula he created. Without sparing any confidence, the Briton asserted that he would be the world champion when it comes to talking trash.

"If there were a world championship of trash talk, I would be the undisputed champion. I taught McGregor. He copied me, copied my style. I've been talking trash since the beginning," said Tyson Fury.
For Fury, however, the origin of this promotional style lies within himself. The statement highlights two big names in their respective sports.
