Tyson Fury shares throwback pic and reveals he had to 'work his a**e off' to become rich and famous in motivational post

TYSON FURY shared a throwback picture and revealed he had to 'work his a**e off' to succeed in a motivational post.

The Gypsy King is the current WBC champion and was named the highest-paid fighter of 2020.

But it has been a long road to the top for the unbeaten 32-year-old, who turned pro in 2008 aged just 18.

To document his rise to superstardom, Fury uploaded an old picture and gave an insight on what it takes to reach the pinnacle success.

He tweeted: "Today everyone wants to be rich and famous without putting the work in and life time effort, there is no quick way to succeed at anything worth succeeding at.

"You want to be recognised & you want to be praised by fans you want to be rich?

"Well here’s how… work your a*** off for many years, get to really know who you are, invest in your health, save your money, don’t live any sort of lifestyle, become great at your job, invest your money wisely….

"Work when they want to rest, never quit, They after all this you might become what you desire."

Family-man Fury, who is expecting a sixth child with long-time wife Paris, has always maintained he cares little for the fame and fortune that comes with his job.

But he is on the cusp of a historic undisputed title decider with Anthony Joshua, 31, with both set to earn £100million each.

The pair are still in talks for a fight which for the first time ever would have the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts all at stake.

Fury has already started training for the Battle of Britain, which is expected to be held abroad, with the Middle East and Asia both frontrunners.

He has not fought since stopping Deontay Wilder, 35, in February.

Meanwhile Joshua knocked out Kubrat Pulev, 39, as early as December, to set up his date with destiny against Fury.
