Former heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury blasts a woman linked to footballer Wayne Rooney on Twitter.

Tyson Fury is currently still trying to get his professional boxing license back but has insisted in recent times that once he is fit and receives his license back, that he intends to mount a challenge on the top heavyweights in world boxing once again.

His last bout came back in November 2015 against Wladimir Klitschko when he recorded a monumental win in Germany on points to dethrone Klitschko for the first time in over a decade.

In recent times he’s perhaps not been quite as controversial on Twitter and social media as he used to be, but judging by this remark, the old Tyson Fury seems to be coming back in that regard once again with:

Fury was commenting on a story that broke linking Wayne Rooney allegedly with the above woman.

It is not known if Fury will be back by the end of 2017 at this stage as it is understood that even if he did receive a professional boxing license in this time frame, that it could take a significant amount of time to get back in fighting condition following what will soon be a two year layoff from the ring.
