'I was trolled over my Tyson Fury tattoo but I don't care - his response was worth it'

A woman has told how she was mercilessly trolled over her tattoo of two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury - but ended up having the last laugh.

Anna Sinclair hit back at people - who criticised her inking - by revealing how the tribute got approval from the champ himself.

Trolls had initially slammed Anna, 34, with harsh comments when she first unveiled her new arm tattoo on Facebook, claiming the ink looked nothing like the sportsman.

However, the mum was delighted when she bumped into the sportsman just ten minutes from her home in Tenerife. While people urged Anna to have the tattoo removed, she was chuffed that the heavyweight champ 'really liked' the ink.

Anna took it upon herself to book a room at a nearby hotel after she had suspicions that Tyson, his wife Paris, and their kids, were having a relaxing break at an all-inclusive resort just around the corner to her home.

The mum booked a room and came down with her mother and kids, and was flabbergasted when her eldest son happened to spot Tyson walking by at the check-in desk.

Bravely, the blonde went up to the father-of-six and showed off her ink.

Anna told The Sun "I don't really remember my words because when I actually saw him in real life my words started scrambling!

She went on: "He really liked my tattoo. It was hard for me to even find the camera button as my hands were shaking.

"I never felt so excited and happy and shy. I just can't believe I couldn't squeeze a word when I saw him because I wanted to ask him so many things."

She even admitted to meeting Paris Fury too - who she described as a 'wonderful lady' - and even claims that she was also a fan of the tattoo of her husband.

Anna first got her eye-catching tattoo in May 2021 - just days after Tyson's bout with Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium.

While she admits she wasn't initially a boxing fan, she was hooked after watching just one fight of the champion.

After watching previous matches and interviews online, Anna admits that the Gypsy King quickly became an 'inspiration'.
