\"MickTyson Fury is not fighting in March nor is he doing any promos for his third fight against Deontay Wilder<\/a> but the recently crowned heavyweight world champion has been in the news and its mostly for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n

The British fighter has decided to settle a lawsuit with his former promoter Mick Hennessy<\/strong>. The lawsuit was filed alleging that Fury had reneged on their contract. <\/p>\n

The Gypsy King paid him \u00a31.5 million to settle the lawsuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fury first worked with Hennessy in 2008, and embarked on what would become a career-defining victory against Vladimir Klitschko in 2015<\/a> under Hennessy\u2019s banner. <\/p>\n

Klitschko had been unbeaten in more than 10 years before the Fury bout, while Fury\u2019s reputation was small but growing. Klitschko was widely expected to dispatch Fury in short order, but Fury outboxed the champion over the full 12 rounds\u2014cementing Fury\u2019s rise to the top of boxing ranks.<\/p>\n

Immediately after that win, Fury stayed out of the ring for the better part of two years to work on his mental health\u2014emerging only in 2018 with Frank Warren<\/strong><\/a> as his new promoter.<\/p>\n
