While many believe that McGregor\u2019s prime years are long gone, the popular Irish star still has a presence that very few, if any, can match. Fury believes McGregor replicated the work he was putting in to build his fights.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with ALF Global, \u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d took credit for McGregor\u2019s ability to move audiences with his trash talk (h\/t MMAFighting).<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI taught him,\u201d Fury said. \u201cHe copied me. He copied my style.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve been talking shit from the beginning. A long time. I don\u2019t do it to get in their heads. Boxing is a show business. Boxing is Hollywood. Boxing is a movie. The fans have to be entertained, so when they tune in and pay pay-per-view to watch Tyson Fury fight, press conference build-up, they\u2019re going to see a show. That\u2019s why they come to see. It\u2019s going to be a crazy show, something\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s like a circus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fury and McGregor first won world titles in 2015. Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF, The Ring, and IBO heavyweight titles. McGregor stopped Chad Mendes to capture the interim UFC featherweight gold before pulling off a stunning 13-second knockout over Jose Aldo to earn the undisputed distinction.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, fans have seen similarities between \u201cThe Gypsy King\u201d and \u201cMystic Mac\u201d in terms of verbal sparring. Some feel that McGregor has a more aggressive approach that tends to get personal depending on the opponent. Fury noted that he draws the line when it comes to talking about family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think Conor McGregor copied Tyson Fury\u2019s trash talking style? Is it the other way around?
