    I was targeted by online trolls over beloved Tyson Fury tattoo – now I’m getting rid of it because of something he did

    A TYSON FURY superfan has revealed she had her tattoo of the Gypsy King covered up with a giant skull because he was “rude” to her.Mum-of-two Anna Sinclair, 34, was trolled mercilessly when she first had the portrait tattoo done, with people claiming it looked nothing like him, but she had the last laugh when the boxing champ gave it his seal of approval when they met back in January.

    Now Anna said she felt disappointed after she bumped into Fury a second time – claiming he brushed her off and was too busy to speak to her.
    The next day she went to a tattoo studio and had the portrait covered up with a large black and grey skull.

    “I removed Tyson tattoo removed because I felt he was rude to me,” Anna, who lives in Tenerife, told The Sun.
    “He was in Tenerife last week because he had a gig here for fans. It was 250 euros per ticket entrance and me and my boyfriend were planning to go.

    “The day before we parked the car and I heard someone say, ‘Tyson, Tyson.’
    “I came out from the car and he was just there, literally walking towards me, pushing a pram while on the phone.
    “I just greeted him and said, ‘Hi welcome back to Tenerife’, he looked at me angrily and said, ‘Don’t you see I am on my phone?’
    “I felt a bit bad but then I saw his wife Paris coming from the back and she remembered me from the first time I met them a few months ago.

    “She said ‘Hi Anna’. Oh she is an angel. We gave each other a kiss and a hug.
    “I told her immediately, ‘Sorry we won’t be coming for the event’.
    “I just felt a bit disappointed.. because I think he doesn’t really know how to speak to his fans. Only at those expensive shows where he gets paid to perform.
    “So I went and covered him up with a skull.”
    Anna originally got the tattoo on her arm last year to pay homage to the heavyweight champ – after saying he was her “idol” and even inspired her to quit booze.
    But she was bombarded with mean comments when she posted it on a Tyson Fury fan page on Facebook with people saying the inking looks nothing like the Gypsy King and she should have it removed.
    Anna managed to shut the haters up after she met Fury while he was on holiday with wife Paris and their kids at an all-inclusive resort in Tenerife, and they both loved the tattoo.
    The boxer even posed for a picture with Anna while she showed off the tattoo.
    Anna says although the cover-up was “very painful” she has no regrets over the tattoo and said feels “stronger” after having him inked on her arm for the past year.
    “He lasted one year. I think he gave me a lot of inspiration … but like everything, it doesn’t last forever I guess,” Anna said.

    “I definitely feel stronger after having his tattoo for a year and I don’t regret any of it but he should work on his social skills.
    “It was painful but it felt like the right thing to do.”

    Tyson Fury wears amazing custom suit to watch best pal Joseph Parker race to outrageous 89-SECOND KO win vs Faiga Opelu

    TYSON FURY cheered best pal and training partner Joseph Parker to an 89-second victory on Wednesday in Australia wearing a stunning custom suit.The 34-year-old WBC Gypsy King flew Down Under to support his New Zealand pal as he waits for his next defence to be decided.

    The 6ft 9in Morecambe mastermind played with the Aussie media all week, promising to fight over there soon and drink the place dry on his flying visit.
    So it was down to Parker – who reigned as WBO heavyweight before Anthony Joshua dethroned him back in 2018 – to focus on serious and fast business.
    The Samoan slugger kept up his rebuild – after last year’s bloody and brutal KO loss to Joe Joyce – with a win over Faiga Opelu 1min and 29 seconds.
    Before Fury even had a chance to bark any advice, Parker landed booming right hands and a couple of chopping left hooks.

    Opelu tried to bob and weave but he got peppered with a range of blows before he turned his back on the attack and fell to the floor.
    Without even starting to count, the referee helped pick dazed Opelu off of the canvas and helped him into a corner before waving the brief one-sided fight off.
    This was Parker’s latest step towards re-joining the division’s biggest names, although Fury has insisted he would rather give the Kiwi his belt rather than fight him, as he took his record to 32-3.
    He said afterwards: “I’d like to thank Django for taking the fight and putting on the best performance he could.

    “I want to keep busy, anyone who’s keen, anywhere. I just want to fight.”
    Meanwhile, Fury said: “I’d like to see him fight maybe a rematch with Andy Ruiz, or a rematch with Joe Joyce, or even Dillian Whyte or even AJ.
    “Joseph Parker is back on the map!”

    “I like the look of her, she’s tough. I think that would be a really exciting fight for the fans, other than that I’m not fussed.”

    Tyson Fury says he’s rather give up belt than fight heavyweight rival who is two stone lighter than him

    TYSON FURY insists he would rather give up his WBC heavyweight title belt rather than fight one individual who is TWO STONE lighter than him.The Gypsy King is currently in Australia to support training partner and friend Joseph Parker.

    Parker, 31, faces Faiga Opel, 29, in Melbourne tomorrow night and will have the backing of Fury, who made the near 11,000 mile trip over.
    The champ was in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed decider against Oleksandr Usyk this year.
    But the deal broke down amid a row over the potential split for a rematch between the two.
    Fury, 34, was looking to come back in the summer at Wembley but found very little available opponents available.
    READ MORE ON TYSON FURY
    It led the two-time unbeaten champion to name Australia as a potential host for his very next bout.
    Fury was at today’s press conference to watch Parker weigh-in at 108.8kg, the New Zealander’s the lightest weight since his defeat to Anthony Joshua in 2018.
    The Brit, who hit the scales at 19.2 stone for his victory over Derek Chisora in December, was asked whether defending his title against close pal and training partner Parker in the future was “a realistic possibility” by the media in attendance.
    But he instantly replied with: “Definitely not. No. I’d rather give him the belt than fight him for it.

    “We’re too close for that fight, and there’s plenty of heavyweights out there.”
    Fury then joked that he also “didn’t want to get beat up” by Parker.
    The star had earlier in the week made the shock revelation that he could be in line to fight Aussie heavyweight Demsey McKean.
    McKean, 32, is signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom banner and is currently 22-0 with 14 knockouts.
    And he was hired as Anthony Joshua’s sparring before before the Brit’s loss to Usyk in September 2021.
    McKean was also considered as an opponent for Joshua this year before Jermaine Franklin was ultimately selected. More

    Speaking to the Daily Star, Apollonia said: “I was wearing a white T-shirt that covered everything with no cleavage on show. It is absolutely ridiculous.
    “There was no warning, no nothing. I don’t know where the nudity has come from.
    “When it happened I was just so confused and didn’t really understand what was going on and when I clicked on it and it said I had been banned.
    “I was shocked because I haven’t done anything wrong. I would understand if I was sitting there in a bikini or whatever but that definitely wasn’t the case.
