    I know even Paris posted his ID once and it stated TYSON LUKE FURY.

    But there are ppl, including Whyte and AJ, who stated in the past or even more currently when Fury was younger it was vica verca.

    , and was changed later to

    since Tyson is a better name for Boxing.

    I cant remember but didnt Colin Hart made a statement about this too 5 or 10 years ago?
    I can be wrong about that!


    So or so i think Luke Fury sounds cool in some way. Click on the link.

    I'm not sure how Dillian Whyte would know.
    He made similar claim about Anthony Joshua being "Femi".

    Funny that he knows so much about them, but there's that "Lamar Scott" guy who now goes by the name "Dean Whyte" because he's apparently Dillian's 'brother'.

    I think 'Femi' was Joshua's nickname from years back, perhaps when he was a naughty boy. His full name is Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua so it's derived from that I think.

    I'm surprised fury didn't troll whyte about "dean". When someone takes your last name it normally means marriage.

    Why would anyone spend years pretending to be the brother of an infantile ****** like Dillian Whyte?

    I'm quite sure he was Luke Tyson Fury once; Luke being extraordinarily common amongst Roman Catholics and Papists as a child name when that child is born ill, weak or in a delicate condition coming from St Luke; patron saint of physicians

    Deed pool is fast, cheap and subject to data protection act also, so we would likely never know for sure

    Do gypsies even have birth certificates ?

    I suspect his mother said Luke.
    His father said Tyson.
    His mother said Luke Tyson.
    His father said Tyson Luke.

    Take your pick.
    Either way, it's hardly much of a name change.

    I think some people must see this as an 'epic burn' or something. Obviously 'Tyson' is a great name for a boxer so I can understand why he went with it - whether it's his first name or middle name.

    Yeah you would be silly not to. Also i know a few people who use their middle name instead of their first. My brother in law is Ashley but his realy name is Gareth, dont really see the issue.

    Exactly. It's not that uncommon to swap given names around, or for parents to name their child one way offiicially, but call them by a second or 'middle name'.

    For example, British prime ministers .....
    Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson
    James Gordon Brown

    actors, too many to name really, but include ....
    Terrence Stephen ('Steve') McQueen
    Walter Bruce Willis
    David Jude Law
    William Bradley Pitt
    Henry Warren Beatty
    Thomas Sean Connery

    musicians ....
    James Paul McCartney
    Robyn Rihanna Fenty
    Troyal Garth Brooks
    Olive Marie Osmond


    ..... also, that woman Prince Harry married : Rachel Meghan Markle

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And in everyday life I've known quite a few people who i later find out had a different first name on their official papers.
    I even worked with two brothers, Mike and Clyde, whose names on their passports were completely different and were using middle names and apparently always had done.

    The more confusing thing in the Fury family is how many Hughs and Hughies there are.

    According to John Fury, the doctor asked him what he's calling him and he said Tyson, which would suggest first name as opposed to middle.

    I also have my suspicions that Tony 'The Bomber' Bellew might not be his real name, and that Deontay Wilder is not, despite evidence suggesting otherwise, made entirely of bronze.
