TYSON FURY’S comeback from the brink against Deontay Wilder has been brilliantly tattooed on the arm of one of his biggest fans.
Back In December, the Gypsy King was floored in the 12th and final round of the WBC fight in Las Vegas.
But Fury used every inch of his being to drag himself up from the floor and close out the fight, incredibly outboxing Wilder for the rest of the round.
The fight finished as a draw, despite most people believing Fury had comfortably done enough to win and become new WBC champ.
Now Fury has shared a photo on his Twitter account posing next to an inking of the moment he got back to his feet on a fan.
He captioned it: “Humbling when people show me things like this, and tell me how I’ve helped.
“We keep moving forward, #THEFIGHTISON.”
His incredible revival in that fight also mirrored what he had done in the last 12 months.
The heavyweight boxer admitted he thought about suicide as he battled with severe mental health problems.
Now he is back to the pinnacle of world boxing after signing a stunning £80million deal with Top Rank promotions and ESPN.
SunSport recently reported how Wilder has assured boxing fans a rematch against Tyson Fury will “definitely happen”.
The American says he doesn’t blame Fury for not taking the fight next after he was knocked down twice when the two clashed in December.
Many expected the pair to sit down and thrash out terms for an immediate rematch.
I think that’s something that is definitely gonna happen, but it’s gonna take a little time now

But instead Fury will fight unknown Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on June 15, with Wilder defending his WBC title against Dominic Breazeale.
Speaking to TMZ Sports however, Wilder expects Part II against the Gypsy King to happen this year or next.
“I think that’s something that is definitely gonna happen, but it’s gonna take a little time now.
“Fury didn’t want the rematch and I don’t blame him. To be getting up off your ass like he did and to get a concussion, I wouldn’t want to go again either!
“So that why he has Tom Schwarzenegger [Schwarz] or whatever his name is.”
The 33-year-old Alabama hardman then confirmed that talks are ongoing between the camps to nail it down.
He added: “The thing about boxing, what’s so sweet about it is it’s unpredictable.
“You don’t know what’s going to happen until it happens.
“You could see it next year, you could see it this year, it’s still up for grabs, the main thing that’s important, all parties are in conversation.”
