Tyson Fury discusses not representing Ireland at the Olympics

Tyson told us:"Going back, a long time ago, I think I moved to Dublin in 2007, after I went to the World Championships. I was training in a couple of boxing clubs. I was originally with the Holy Family in Belfast, but then I changed to a Smithboro boxing club in Monaghan.

"And I was in Dublin with a couple of relatives of ours, training, and I moved over to [private address] in Dublin, and I actually found my Irish driver's licence last week. It was this little pink picture card licence, it was paper and folded over, and it had me picture and address on it.

Tyson then continued:"There was a lot of stuff, and it was quite political back in them days. And I just always believed that they robbed Ireland of an Olympic medal in '08, because years later, in 2012, it was probably the hardest title I ever had to win, because there was so much behind it, that went into. So much effort that went in to get it. I won the Irish title in 2012. So it was very refreshing for me to get that.
