Tyson Fury: "I'm a natural freak of nature... I defy every law of gravity"

Former world heavyqweight champion Tyson Fury entered Tuesday's media workout in a traditional Mexican lucha libre wrestling mask.

ESPN+ will televise. This is what Fury and Wallin had to say at the media workout.

"I'm just enjoying life, taking one day at a time and inspiring people to do well in their life, too."
 
"I wore a traditional Mexican mask because it's Mexican Independence Day Weekend and the Gypsy King is here in Las Vegas to put on a show for all the Mexican fans. Viva Mexico!"
 
"I can defeat all the heavyweights with one hand. As you saw today, lightning speed, lightning reflexes for a giant. I'm a giant of a heavyweight. There has never been a heavyweight like me. There has never been a man of my size who can move like that. I'm a natural freak of nature. I defy every law of gravity. It shouldn't be possible for a man of my size or my weight to move like that."
 
"I have no interest in future fights. One day at a time in my life. One fight at a time, one hour at a time. 'Cause that's all we have. We're not promised tomorrow, so we live every day like it's our last as our Lord tells us to."
 
"You're going to see a great fight on Saturday, a real Mexican, 6-foot-9, 260-pound giant."
 
"Do I look like I'm enjoying life? One hundred percent. I'm ecstatic to be alive. A true blessing from God. I'm very thankful that I was given this life. I'm thankful to be here in Las Vegas and thankful for all the people that turned out."
 
"Otto Wallin is a tall blonde, just the way I like them. We'll see what he brings on Saturday."

"I don't know Fury too well, but I have to Las Vegas to put up a great fight and pull off the upset. We've seen a big upset in the heavyweight division already this year."
 
"I've dreamed of a fight like this since I was a kid. I've always wanted to fight a big fight in Las Vegas. All of my hard work has paid off and led me to this moment. Sweden's last heavyweight champion was Ingemar Johansson, and that was 60 years ago. So to make that type of history would be extra special."
