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

      by

      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 beams as he meets die-hard fan who has huge tattoo of Gypsy King on his back

      by

      TYSON FURY beamed as he met a die-hard fan who has a huge tattoo of the Gypsy King on his back. The WBC heavyweight champion is currently in Australia, supporting training partner and friend Joseph Parker.

      Fury was met with much fanfare on arrival Down Under and even bumped into a super-supporter so loyal he’s had the heavyweight icon inked on him.
      The British superstar grinned and pointed to the fans’ tattoo, which portrays Fury celebrating his 2020 win over Deontay Wilder.
      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.
      And his arrival brought the shock revelation that he could be in line to fight Aussie heavyweight Demsey McKean.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      McKean’s manager Angelo Di Carlo told The Herald Sun: “Chats began some time ago for Demsey to fight Tyson Fury in Australia and I think Demsey is the best option for the Gypsy King.
      “We’re certainly keen to do the fight. We’ve had a good association with Matchroom and we have great respect for Eddie Hearn, but I’ll have more talks with Fury’s camp and see where that takes us.
      “If Tyson Fury wants to fight in Australia, the logical option is to fight an Aussie fighter and talking to Fury’s people, they don’t want to fight a small heavyweight.
      “We’ve been given a possible date to fight Fury in August, so hopefully we can make it happen.”

      McKean, 32, is signed to 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 Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021.
      McKean was also considered as an opponent for Joshua this year before Jermaine Franklin was ultimately selected.
      But the Aussie could get his shot at the big time against Fury, who has not returned since beating Derek Chisora in December.
      He was in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed decider against Usyk this year.
      But the deal broke down amid a row over the potential split for a rematch between the two.
      So Fury, 34, was looking to come back in the summer at Wembley but found very little available opponents available.
      It led the two-time unbeaten champion to name Australia as a potential host for his very next bout.
      Fury said: “I’m definitely keen, it may even be my next fight, over here. I just haven’t got an opponent yet, so we’re going to figure it out.

      “Over the next few days we’re going to be travelling around to a few different states and looking at some potential venues for my next fight.
      “Australians are always crazy boxing fans, so it would be great to get the Gypsy King Down Under.”

      “I mean R9 (Ronaldo) a legend of the game. Neymar has done very well for himself but why would you get him tattooed?
      “Neymar is an outstanding player but it’s weird, he’s still playing. 
      “I mean if it was like people who have retired I would get it, but Neymar’s his team-mate.”
      And Richards did not stop there, claiming: “It’s like me getting a tattoo of Daniel Sturridge.

      Speaking to GQ Sports about the tattoo in February, Richarlison explained: “Ronaldo was my hero when I first started football.
      “Neymar is of my generation, but a few years ahead of me. I wanted to play like him and have the same hair.
      “And then I added myself, because I’m inspired by myself too.” More

      After loan spells at Wigan, Wolves, Fulham, Reims, Rangers, Cardiff and Millwall, he joined the Championship Bluebirds permanently at the start of the campaign.
      Dide made his introduction in February 2023 with the release of ‘Intro Freestyle’, which was captioned with the claim “Premier League football jumping in the UK music scene”.

      They include lines such as “my team stay winning” and “every game is like a final”.

      by

      LIONEL Messi superfan and former Miss BumBum Suzy Cortez has revealed she has got another tattoo to showcase her love for the legendary footballer.Suzy, 32, has long used her public profile to demonstrate her obsession with the diminutive Argentina and PSG forward.

      The curvy Brazilian brunette with the world-famous rear already has several tattoos in tribute to Lionel Messi, including a very cheeky tat of his face just above her hips.
      She also got Messi’s name tattooed on her bum in 2019 as a confident prediction that he would win his sixth Ballon d’Or the following year.
      As it turned out, the 2020 contest didn’t go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic, although Messi went on to collect his sixth award when it resumed in 2021.
      Now, Suzy has revealed not just one but a further three new tattoos on her bum celebrating the 35-year-old Messi.
      READ MORE ON SUZY CORTEZ
      She told The Sun that the fresh tats were in honour of Messi and Argentina’s stunning World Cup Final triumph over France in Qatar last December.
      The three tattoos, which were pictured on her rear, include one of Messi’s autograph, three stars representing Argentina’s three World Cup Titles, and a number ten reflecting his shirt number.
      Suzy said that the tattoos were fulfilling a promise she had made during the World Cup if Argentina triumphed.
      As it turned out, the South American side successfully defeated the reigning champions France 4-2 in a penalty shootout, after a thrilling contest ended 3-3 following extra time.
      Most read in Football
      It was Argentina’s first World Cup win since 1986 when they were captained by Diego Maradona.
      Suzy said that her new tattoos mean she is entering the Guinness Book of Records for having the largest number of tattoos of Messi on various parts of her body.
      She also shared two short clips of her having the tattoos applied at Xavier Piercing Tattoo.
      Suzy was invited to watch the final in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires – despite being from arch-rivals Brazil.
      She announced her plans at the time for future tattoos if Argentina secured their third World Cup, and Messi’s first.
      Suzy said: “I plan to get tattooed like Messi, with the ball and the number 10 on his leg.”
      She celebrated Argentina reaching their sixth World Cup Final by delighting her fans with photos of her getting covered in body paint in the blue and white colours of the flag.
      The latest inkings may not go down well with Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
       Messi previously blocked her on social media after being bombarded with saucy pictures.
      Antonela – who has three children with Messi – also blocked Suzy after she tagged her husband in a series of provocative posts.
      Suzy then launched an online campaign to encourage her fans to support her and convince Messi to unblock her.
      Her famously eye-popping assets won her the coveted 2015 Miss BumBum and Miss Butt World titles, beating competition from beauties all over the world.

      During an interview in 2012, Mike explained what the meaning behind his face tattoo is.
      He said: “I just thought it was a cool tattoo. I was going to get a bunch of hearts and stuff. That would have been really stupid. I was going to be the man of hearts, baby. I was very close. Victor Perez, the tattoo artist, said, I ain’t doing that. I can’t do that.

      “I said, ‘what do you think I should get?’ Because I was confused. Victor Perez is a good guy and said, ‘come back in a couple of days. I’m going to try and write up some stuff.’
      “I waited around, and two days later, he called and said, ‘Mike, I’ve got some tribal stuff.’ I said, ‘Woah, put another one over there.’ I was like, ‘this is cool; I like this.’ So he did it.”
      The tattoo takes inspiration from the traditional Maori tribe from New Zealand.
      Tyson’s tattoo covers the left side of his face and features tribal symbols.

      Monica had filed for divorce from Mike in January 2002, claiming that Mike had committed adultery during their five-year marriage.
