Tyson Fury says he was dropped 3 times in training by an LHW, then takes it back

Boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed on social media that he had been beaten up by a light heavyweight, but subsequently stated that he was just "fooling" everyone.

Tyson Fury is well known for his bombastic personality. The British boxer has been very outspoken throughout his career, and has arguably ramped it up even more since he defeated Wladimir Klitschko for lineal heavyweight supremacy last November.

This week, as he prepares for a rematch with Klitschko in July, he claimed on social media that he was dropped three times by a light heavyweight sparring partner:

Fight update OMG got my ass kicked by a light heavy weight speed kills, struggling this time, what a let down I am to all my fans & family, becoming a fat bastard, heavyweight chump, #bumcity sometimes I wonder why I bother!
