Tyson Fury was banned from Wikipedia for editing rivals page, the lineal heavyweight champion has revealed.
The Gypsy King used Wikipedia as part of his pre-fight mind games on the build-up to the title fight.
When questioned on the story, Fury said: “Yes it is true, until I got banned from Wikipedia.
“I did it because I wanted to prove that, because it is a public site, anyone can write whatever they want on there. If you want to go on and edit my profile, you can,” he explained.
“I have never edited anything on mine because I am the lineal champion, someone keeps going on and writing I am retired, I am clearly not retired,” proclaimed the former heavyweight champion.
“So I keep changing it back to active and someone else keeps changing it to retire. Someone obviously wants me retired,” he laughed.
