World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has faced criticism for touting Dogecoin offshoot Floki Inu on Twitter.

Fury then awkwardly screams “Valhalla” at the end of the clip, referring to Floki Inu’s gaming metaverse that is currently being developed by the team.
Some Twitter users called the low-effort video borderline “embarrassing.” Fury even struggled to pronounce the name of the cryptocurrency correctly, showing little to no genuine interest in the Elon Musk-inspired cryptocurrency and its marketing blitz.
