TYSON Fury’s dad has told how he turned down his son’s offer of a Rolls- Royce — because he preferred his old VW Golf.
John Fury, 58, said the world boxing champ, 35, tricked him into going to a dealership, saying it was for his wife Paris.
He recalled: “I see the price. It’s a £500,000 car.
“I said, ‘She doesn’t need that to do the school run.’
“We had a little bit of an argument and he said, ‘No dad, it’s yours.
‘”You are driving a 30-year-old car around.’”
