“I’m lucky because I f***** trained so hard” – Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury was quoted as saying, “When people say to me, ‘You know what? You’re lucky.’ I’m lucky because I f***** worked all hours that God gave me. I’m lucky because I pushed it further than everybody else would dare to do. I’m lucky because I f***** trained so hard that I can’t be beaten. That’s a lucky man? I don’t think so.

He continued, “I’m not lucky. I’m blessed. I’m blessed to have that determination, that drive. And it’s not for success. It’s just to be happy today, tomorrow and the next day. But most importantly, be happy for today because tomorrow is no certain gift at all.” [firstsportz.com]
