TYSON FURY claims that his mom couldn't understand why he was so well-known and asked him why so many people wanted to take photographs of him and sign autographs.
The WBC champion will be returning to the ring next season and could face Oleksandr Usyk, Dillian Whyte or Anthony Joshua.
It is unknown if Amber, his mother, will be there, since she has never been to any of her sons' fights, amateur or professional, despite John being a major part in the 32 year-old's ring career.
The heavyweight champion explained in his autobiography Behind The Mask how his mom isn't fully aware of his fame.
She was puzzled by the number of fans who asked her for photos during a shopping trip after Deontay Wilder's 2018 draw.
Fury wrote, "My mum doesn't understand what I've done as a boxer."
"I took her shopping after the Wilder fight, and I was stopped everywhere I went in Manchester for autographs and photographs. She couldn't understand it."
"She actually said, "Hey, son! How do you know so many people?"
"I had to tell her that I was the world's heavyweight champion and that a lot people had supported me. It was very special."
Fury's brothers Shane and Hughie Fury, as well as his wife Paris, often join Fury before his fights. However, his father John was previously in jail and has not been able to travel to his Stateside bouts.
The Gypsy King enjoys spending time with his mom and even revealed that she had reprimanded him for trying to buy his mother a Louis Vuitton bag on a shopping trip.
He said, "It was an enjoyable time that I shared with my mom - just as any son would want to."
"I was able treat her to her favorite perfume, and I wanted to purchase her a Louis Vuitton handbag, but she shouted at me, "Don't waste your money on that." You never know when you will need it so save your money!
"Only a mother could tell off a multimillionaire as that. I think she was more concerned about me than herself, and that's how all mothers should be. They are amazing.
