BEST MOMENTS

"I'm not famous. I've done nothing to be. I'm only the father of some people who've done well in their life."

"This mental health thing, it's a slow killer, a big strong man. It's humbled me and took me straight to the ground."

"Let John Jones do what he does best. Let Tyson do what he does best. Tyson can mix it up a bit."

"My disruptive is enjoyable, isn't it? Because you're never going to disrupt me at a boxing show to a way where I want to take you outside and punch you out."

"When your name, your father's name and your ancestor's name is up there on a Netflix show, number 1, you might as well have said, Mr. Fury just paid you five trillion in your bank."
