Tyson Fury demands to be made "Emperor of North England" by King Charles

Tyson Fury isn't bothered about receiving a knighthood - but would like to be receive the title of "Emperor of the North of England".

Heavyweight champion Fury, 34, is fully focused on a pencilled-in undisputed title fight against Oleksandr Usyk which is being targeted for the first quarter of this year. Fury defended his WBC title against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora last year whilst Usyk fought just once, defending his unified titles against Anthony Joshua after winning them from 'AJ' the previous year.

Fury is without question one of the greatest heavyweights champions of the past decade as the Brit is unbeaten in 34 professional fights. He has also been praised for being a mental health advocate after voicing his struggles with depression during his fighting career. The Brit played down talks of receiving a knighthood for his accomplishments but is keen on receiving a different type of title from King Charles.
