TYSON FURY always likes to leave an impression at press conferences – and it’s not always about his way with words.
The WBC heavyweight champion of the world is a snazzy dresser, and often wears bespoke suits for the pre-fight mix-ups.
But usually the shirt is left in the dressing room.
Ahead of his trilogy scrap against Deontay Wilder this weekend, Fury donned a suit that was sure to rile the American.
Fury’s suits are designed by Claudio Lugli based in Brent Cross, where he has built a good relationship with tailor Nav Salimian.
Here Sunsport checks out that, and four other stunning press conference outfits the Morecambe mauler has shown to the world.
BATMAN – SEPTEMBER 2015
Ahead of his brilliant schooling of Wladimir Klitschko, Fury turned into a superhero.
The Gypsy King arrived for the pre-fight presser in a yellow Lamborghini dressed as batman.
He then entered the media room and took his seat. But there was more to come.
Fury proceeded to have ‘a fight’ with a man dressed as The Joker.
Kiltschko cracked a smile as it all played out – but was clearly stunned at what went on.
BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS – JUNE 2019
A man proud of his fighting family, Fury is also delighted to be involved with the sport of kings.
Before his fight against little-known Tom Schwarz in 2019, Fury donned a suit showing the great heavyweights of boxing.
They were all styled like cigarette cards – all 1,900 of them.
Undoubtedly Fury will feature among those famous faces himself.
And poor Schwarz knows only too well – being knocked out by Fury in the second round.
YOU BIG DOSSER – FEBRUARY 2020
Fury affectionately labelled Wilder a ‘big dosser’ in the lead up to their contentious draw in December 2018.
And just days before he went on to exact ultimate revenge on the Bronze Bomber in February 2020, he decided to have these words imprinted on a suit.
The Gypsy King even trademarked the his favourite insult.
MESSAGE TO WILDER – JUNE 2021
After seeing a dream all-Brit bout against Anthony Joshua hit the buffers, the trilogy with Wilder was signed in June this year.
And in the press conference announcing their original date of July 24 for the fight, Fury wore a suit with a special meaning for the American.
It featured shots of him battering Wilder in their second bout, as well as THAT photo of of Fury wearing a crown on his ringwalk.
It was sure to get under Wilder’s skin bringing back memories of his first ever pro defeat – and a battering at that.
WBC BELT-HOLDER – OCTOBER 2021
Fury taunted rival Deontay Wilder by wearing a stunning bespoke suit with the WBC belt all over it.
Ahead of their third fight this weekend, the two had their final press conference – and once again Fury was dressed to impress.
He wore an eye-catching suit – without a shirt – that showed Wilder what he once used to have.
Plastered all over the fabric were images of the iconic green WBC belt, which will be on the line this weekend.
