McGregor on Fury Stopping Wilder: He's Special, Has Irish Blood

Fury considers himself British, which is why his social media icons are him with the British flag, and why he was seen partying with the British flag around his back after beating Wilder.

There are sources both parents where born in leiston.

He represented mainly Britain in the amateurs, but did represent Ireland in an attempt to be considered for olympics on both sides. Britain decided on David price over him, and he was unsuccessful in qualifying for Ireland. He was also essentially banned from competing in Ireland and forced to withdraw from the Irish national championships, after complaints regarding his eligibility because he was born in England.

You cannot say he is of full Irish heritage when there’s no record of his parents being born in Ireland, which is also why Tyson doesn’t have dual citizenship.

But really? Who is the best actually Irish fighter in the last 30 years? Not just there dads grandma was Irish, actually born and raised in Ireland?
