TYSON FURY revealed he has a phobia of worms, which he blames on his younger brother.<\/p>\n
Fury is considered the best boxer in the world thanks to his stunning 34-match undefeated streak, which has seen him winning a staggering 33 times along the way.<\/p>\n

The Gypsy King poses as a titan of the game with his devastating power, defensive prowess and crafty footwork.<\/p>\n
That of course is combined with the Mancunian's brash character and non-stop banter which gets him under the skin of his boxing opponents.<\/p>\n
However, even a brave fighter like himself is not without weakness as he confirmed there is one fear he just can't face.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old revealed he can't even stand the sight of worms due to childhood trauma.<\/p>\n

It's because my little brother Shane used to fill my wellies up with worms.<\/p>\n "He used to pick out the biggest worms. I still have nightmares about it now, even when I see adult size welly boots. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH<\/strong><\/p>\n "So, yeah I am absolutely terrified of worms.
