Tyson Fury's amazing gift to Irish teen who got fighter's face on prosthetic leg

Irish teenager Leroy Collins woke up to a knockout shoutout this morning from his ultimate boxing hero Tyson Fury.

The 13-year-old Dubliner, who has a prosthetic leg, idolises the fighter known as the 'Gypsy King' and decided to plaster his face across his artificial limb.

Delighted Leroy posted photos of the artwork on his social media accounts which was shared widely by boxing pages around the UK and Ireland, Dublin Live reports.

Leroy's top wish on his dream list has certainly been boxed off now following Tyson's latest Tweet.

His creation didn't go unnoticed with the unbeaten 31-year-old and two-time heavyweight champion of the world coming across the pictures and mentioning shouting the teen out this morning.

Fury said he was privileged that Leroy was a fan and added that he would send him on boxing gear.

He said: "13 year old Leroy Collins from Dublin, I’m honoured that you got me on your leg pal, god bless you.

He added: "Please send me your address and I’ll get some gear out to you buddy."
