    What kind of impact did the Irish Traveler community have on boxing before Tyson Fury? What would 1990s Fury's environment have been like?

    I was using "Irish Traveler" as a group description in the way that Wikipedia uses it: "His family is of Irish Traveller heritage." (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyson_Fury).

    As I understand it, there's a separate culture and ethnic identity among the group that Tyson Fury comes from, and it's a culture that's interested in boxing.
