Tyson Fury goads old rivals Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko by sharing meme of himself overweight

Tyson Fury beats former rivals Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko by sharing a meme of himself being overweight.

Fury first became heavyweight champion in 2015 when he shocked Klitschko in the famous Düsseldorf upset.

But after a battle with depression and substance abuse, he gained weight and vacated the title.

Only five years later, Fury defeated Wilder in their rematch to reclaim the heavyweight throne.

And the Gypsy King proved that he seems to have little in the way of sweet science, as he shared a post comparing his body to that of his former detractors.

The meme reads: “Explaining the current heavyweight division to non-boxing folks is a real treat.

“So yeah, the guy in the middle beat the other two and uh… um…”

In the photo, Klitschko, now 45, and Wilder, 36, are seen torn down and in pristine condition.

While the 33-year-old Fury has a huge stomach, as he struggled with depression during that period away from the game.

The photo was taken ahead of their scheduled rematch with Klitschko, which was later canceled as Britain took time off from the game.

But even now, six years later and Fury is still feuding with Ukrainian Online and reminds his foe of the night that he overcame the odds.

Fury showed off his old belt and said: “Vladimir, you have some cheek to come back after all these years and open your big mouth.

“You never punched me, I took all your boxes. Look, these were from your pulp, now they’re mine.

“You idle dodger, keep on dreaming.”
