'The Gypsy King' is one of the biggest names in the sport. His knockout victories over names such as , Dillian Whyte, and Derek Chisora have him positioned as one of the best big men to ever put on the gloves. But outside the ring, the British star has had a complicated past. Following his 2015 decision victory over , Fury tested positive for steroids and was suspended. During the suspension, he struggled with drug addiction and ballooned up in weight. Thankfully, the former champion was able to get his life under control and returned to the boxing ring three years later. His return to the ring eventually saw him reclaim heavyweight gold, and is one of the greatest comeback stories in recent years. Beyond that 2015 drug-failure, Tyson Fury has mostly stayed out of trouble. However, earlier this year, the WBC Heavyweight Champion got into hot water in the United States. Fury is a friend of former MTK Global promoter Daniel Kinahan. In addition to having his hands on the boxing scene, the Irishman is also an accused mobster and drug trafficker. Earlier this year, the United States government announced that they wouldn't be allowing hundreds of individuals who have an association with Kinahan to enter the country. Two of those individuals are Tyson Fury and his brother, Tommy.
