He's a Brit that wants to be Irish. He turned down defending the Lonsdale belt to win it outright and when he went to MSG to fight Cunningham said

“I think I have showed my true colours over the years. I vacated the British and Commonwealth titles, which some people say are more prestigious than the Irish title, but not to me. I vacated those belts for an Irish title shot because it meant more to me.”

Tyson Fury en route to MSG says “I fight for Ireland, I am no Plastic Paddy” - IrishCentral.comI don't think that means Brits won't support him but It's not exactly going to help ever make fans here think he is one of their own either.
