TYSON FURY met up with Shaquille O’Neal in America – with the NBA legend telling him he ‘loves the Gypsies’.
The WBC heavyweight champion has been in America training for his undisputed title fight with Anthony Joshua.
He was firstly in Las Vegas, before jetting off to Texas to watch Billy Joe Saunders and has now spent some time in Miami.
And he bumped into basketball royalty as he shared a video with 7ft 1in Shaq, one of the only men who can tower the 6ft 9in Gypsy King.
Fury, 32, said: “Shaq, thank you for the food.”
O’Neil, 49, who retired in 2011, responded: “I love the Gypsies baby.”
Fury continued: “Thank you for the company. It’s getting better, mate.”
The unbeaten heavyweight, who recently visited David Beckham’s Inter Miami, looks set to fight long-standing rival AJ on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua, 31, has kicked off his camp where it all started for him, Finchley Amateur Boxing Club in North London.
And while it appears that Fury is relaxing in the sun, Tony Bellew warned not to be fooled with the hard work being put in off camera.

Bellew, 38, told talkSPORT: “Believe you me, he is in training. He looks in great shape.
“He is sparring, he’s training and he is doing everything he possibly can to be in the best shape of his life.
“Don’t believe all the hype and the smoke that they create around the training of him being in Vegas without his shirt on and all the bling.
“It’s nonsense! These guys are training like animals, believe you me. I know AJ is for the absolute fact.”
