    questions brothers ask and answer in public?

    There is a difference between how one describes himself, particularly when they are a showman, and the labels others use. To the best of my knowledge, Fury has never qualified as a solicitor. It would not be the same standard. Given his incredible record, I don’t think I will challenge him as...

    From Ghana.

    If you have the official website, I’m not sure why you are asking us. You are in Ghana. We aren’t in Ghana.
