Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury was born on the 12th of August 1988, three months too early and weighing just 1 lb. The doctors told his father, John, that the baby had little chance of living. John had already lost two daughters the same way. He named his son after Mike Tyson, then the reigning undisputed heavyweight champion, because this child was clearly a fighter.
That premature baby from Manchester grew into a man widely regarded as the lineal heavyweight champion of the world. He was also a man who announced his retirement more than once, and who gave up his belts outside the ring.
What kind of family produces a boxer like this? How does a fighter at the top of the sport lose his footing so far from the ropes? And what brings him back?
The Fury surname derives from the Irish Ó Fiodhabhra. Tyson was the son of Irish Traveller parents, Amber and John Fury, and grew up in Styal, Cheshire. His paternal grandfather came from Tuam, which was also where his father was born. His maternal grandmother is from County Tipperary, and his mother was born in Belfast.
Fury identifies strongly as Irish, yet he has struggled to obtain dual citizenship. His father's birth in County Galway in the 1960s was never recorded civilly. Irish Travellers of that era registered births through the church by baptism instead. After beating Wladimir Klitschko, Fury quipped that becoming heavyweight champion was easier than proving his Irishness.
At 11, Fury left school and joined his father and three brothers laying tarmac on roads. Loss shadowed the household. His mother, Amber, had 14 pregnancies, and only four of the children survived. A daughter, Ramona, was born in December 1997 and died within days. Tyson was nine years old, and the experience has stayed with him.
Fury began boxing at the age of 10. His father trained him until 2011, when John was jailed for gouging out the eye of another Traveller in a long-running feud. Fury's uncle Hughie then took over until 2014. Another uncle, Peter Fury, prepared him for the Klitschko fight.
In the 1980s John fought as "Gypsy" John Fury, first as a bare-knuckle and unlicensed boxer and later as a professional with a record of 8-4-1. One of those four defeats came against Henry Akinwande, who went on to win the WBO heavyweight title. Tyson's half-brother Tommy turned professional on the 22nd of December 2018 under two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton.
The cousins include the heavyweights Hughie Fury and Nathan Gorman, former WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee and light heavyweight contender Hosea Burton. More distant relatives include the bare-knuckle fighters Uriah Burton and Bartley Gorman, both known as "King of the Gypsies". That title is the source of his own nickname, "Gypsy King". He has also called himself "The Furious One" and "2 Fast" Fury.
Three times, Fury represented Ireland at international level as an amateur. He boxed out of the Holy Family Boxing Club in Belfast, and later switched to the Smithboro Club in County Monaghan. He also boxed for England, representing Jimmy Egan's Boxing Academy in Wythenshawe, Manchester.
In 2007, Ireland met an experienced Polish team in a double international. The Irish lost 12-6 overall, but Fury won both of his fights, in Rzeszów and in Białystok. Against the United States, he won his bout by knockout. In 2006 he took bronze at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships.
At the 2006 English senior national championships, David Price beat Fury 22-8. In May 2007 Fury won the EU Junior Championship by defeating Istvan Bernath in the final. In July 2007 he took silver at the European Junior Championship, losing the final to Maxim Babanin. As a junior he stood third in the world, behind the Russians Babanin and Andrey Volkov.
The Olympic dream stalled in 2008. Each country may send only one boxer per weight division, and Great Britain chose Price, who had come through the Olympic programme. Fury also tried to qualify for Ireland without success. Speaking in 2011, he said he should have gone to the 2008 Games and won gold for Ireland. In his words, "I was denied the chance to go and do it".
Officials at the Holy Trinity Boxing Club in West Belfast had filed a protest over his eligibility, since he was not born in Ireland. Their fighter was the then Irish amateur heavyweight champion. The protest forced Fury to withdraw from the Irish national championships.
In 2008 Fury won the ABA super-heavyweight title by beating Damien Campbell 19:1. He finished with an amateur record of 31-4, with 26 knockouts. Feeling disillusioned, he chose not to wait for the 2012 Olympics and turned professional later that year.
On the 6th of December 2008 in Nottingham, a 20-year-old Fury made his professional debut on the undercard of Carl Froch against Jean Pascal. Hungarian Bela Gyongyosi lasted one round, beaten by a combination to the head and body. Six more fights followed within seven months, and each ended by knockout inside four rounds.
The 11th of September 2009 brought John McDermott and the English title. Fury was a 1-6 favourite, yet produced a poor display. Referee Terry O'Connor's 98-92 scorecard was criticised as a "travesty". The British Boxing Board of Control reacted by requiring three judges for all English titles, and it ordered a rematch. On the 25th of June 2010, Fury settled it. He dropped McDermott once in the 8th round and twice in the 9th, and won by TKO.
On the 23rd of July 2011 at Wembley Arena, Fury faced the undefeated Derek Chisora for the British and Commonwealth titles. Both men were 14-0, with Chisora 27 and Fury 22. Chisora was the favourite despite Fury's size and reach. After 12 hard rounds, Fury won on all three cards, 117-112, 117-112 and 118-111. Promoter Mick Hennessy said the free-to-air Channel 5 broadcast peaked at around 3 million viewers.
Canadian Neven Pajkic delivered the next scare, on the 12th of November 2011 in Trafford Park. Pajkic dropped Fury with a right hand in round 2 and hurt him again in round 3. Fury then floored Pajkic twice, and the referee stopped the fight, which many at ringside thought premature. Fury soon gave up his British and Commonwealth belts to chase the Irish title. He said, "I was born in Manchester but I am Irish."
He claimed that title on the 14th of April 2012 at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Veteran Martin Rogan went down to a left hook in round 3 and a body shot in round 5, and his corner stopped the fight. On the 7th of July 2012 in Clevedon, Somerset, Fury stopped American Vinny Maddalone in round 5 to move to 19-0. Afterwards he challenged the Klitschko brothers, and Hennessy said a world title fight was two or three bouts away.
The WBC title eliminator came on the 1st of December 2012 in Belfast, against the American Kevin Johnson. Fury won on scores of 119-110, 119-108 and 119-108. Outlets including the BBC and ESPN called it a poor showing.
Fury's American debut came on the 20th of April 2013 at Madison Square Garden Theater, against former cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham. Cunningham weighed 210 lb to Fury's 254 lb. He floored Fury heavily in round 2 and kept landing for several rounds. Fury lost a point for a headbutt in round 5. By round 7 he had recovered and ended it with a right hand against the ropes. Cunningham had never been knocked out before. He later claimed Fury had used an illegal forearm to hold him and turn his head.
Then David Haye got involved. Their fight, set for the 28th of September 2013, would have been Fury's first on pay-per-view. It collapsed when Haye needed six stitches above an eye. It was rescheduled for the 8th of February 2014, but on the 17th of November Haye withdrew again, citing a career-threatening shoulder injury. Fury said he had always suspected Haye was afraid of the fight. The delays cost him ranking positions, including an IBF final eliminator.
On the 20th of November 2013, Fury announced on social media that he had retired, complaining of too many bent people in boxing. The next day he wrote, "I've retired 1000000% no matter what ill never fight again!" It did not last. On the 15th of February 2014 at the Copper Box Arena, Joey Abell replaced Gonzalo Omar Basile, who had a lung infection. Fury beat him by fourth-round TKO.
The rematch with Chisora took place on the 29th of November 2014 at ExCeL London, as a WBO title eliminator. Fury used the southpaw stance for most of the fight, although he naturally boxes right-handed. Chisora's corner pulled him out at the end of round 10. Fury then beat Christian Hammer on the 28th of February 2015 at the O2 Arena, when Hammer's corner stopped the fight in round 8. He said he picked Hammer because he wanted a real challenge before facing Klitschko.
The Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany, hosted Fury against Wladimir Klitschko on the 28th of November 2015. The WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring titles were at stake. A calf injury to Klitschko had pushed the fight back from the 24th of October. To prepare, Fury trained with the top-ranked GLORY kickboxers Rico Verhoeven and Benjamin Adegbuyi.
On fight night, trouble came before the first bell. There was a dispute over the gloves, then a complaint about the ring canvas. Klitschko reportedly had his hands wrapped without a Fury representative present, so he had to do them again.
Over 12 rounds, neither man did much damage. Fury was simply more active, and won a unanimous decision on scores of 115-112, 115-112 and 116-111. Klitschko landed 52 of 231 punches, or 23 percent. Fury landed 86 of 371, also 23 percent.
Klitschko never found his famous right hand. He explained that Fury's constant movement and mockery, and the distance Fury kept, made it impossible to throw. He admitted that Fury was the faster and better man. He was astonished that Fury stayed so quick in the second half.
After the final bell, an emotional Fury called the win a dream come true. He said it was hard to come to foreign countries and get decisions. Then he took the microphone to thank Klitschko, telling him, "you're a great champion".
Klitschko's rematch clause cost Fury a belt. On the 8th of December 2015, the IBF stripped Fury of its title, because the clause stopped him from facing mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov. He had held the belt for only 10 days.
On the 8th of April 2016, the Klitschko rematch was announced for the 9th of July at the Manchester Arena. By then Fury weighed over 24 stone, about 330 lb or 150 kg, and said he had "no motivation". On the 24th of June 2016, the fight was postponed because of a sprained ankle. On that day, UK Anti-Doping charged Fury and his cousin Hughie with the presence of nandrolone. The sample dated from February 2015-16 months earlier. Both strenuously denied it.
On the 23rd of September, the fight was postponed again after Fury was declared medically unfit. ESPN reported that he had failed a drug test for cocaine a day earlier. Fury cited depression. On the 3rd of October 2016 he announced his retirement for the second time, then walked it back within hours.
The next day, Fury gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he spoke with painful honesty. He said he was going through "a lot of personal demons", had not been in a gym for months, and no longer wanted to live. He said psychiatrists told him he had a version of bipolar disorder. He described drinking heavily, and said cocaine was minor next to how he felt.
On the 12th of October 2016, he vacated the WBA, WBO and IBO titles. His promoter, Mick Hennessy, said he would remain the lineal champion in everyone's eyes. The British Boxing Board of Control suspended his licence the next day. On the 1st of February 2018, he lost the last of his titles, The Ring magazine championship.
Recovery was slow. In December 2016, his uncle Peter said Fury would return in spring 2017. Fury himself tweeted that he had had a nightmare year and done things he was not proud of. A the 13th of May 2017 date was floated, but the Board publicly said he was still suspended. Its general secretary, Robert Smith, said there had been no contact from Fury or his representatives. By August 2017, Fury announced his third retirement.
In September 2017, Fury challenged UKAD to ban him or reinstate his licence, saying he had been under investigation for 15 months. The agency reportedly had an annual budget of £8 million. Fury's two years out of the ring could have produced lost earnings of over £10 million, so UKAD asked the government to underwrite the case. A hearing was set for the 11th of December 2017, with a possible four-year ban. Fury did not attend, leaving reporters waiting outside for six hours. Hennessy later said Fury was not required there.
UKAD and the Furys reached a settlement in December 2017. It set a two-year period of ineligibility, backdated to the 13th of December 2015, which expired at midnight on the 12th of December 2017. Fury's win over Hammer was disqualified, but the Klitschko victory stood. Fury blamed the nandrolone on eating uncastrated wild boar. His reaction on Twitter was three words: "Guess who's back?"
In February 2018 UKAD revealed that it had spent £585,659 on the case. Of that, £576,587 went to the law firm Bird & Bird.
On the 19th of January 2018, Fury met the Board, which agreed to reinstate him provided he supplied up-to-date medical records after seeing a psychologist. He said his motivation was Deontay Wilder, who had said, in Fury's telling, "definitely not Tyson Fury. He's done."
On the 12th of April 2018, Fury announced a multi-fight deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. On the 9th of June at the Manchester Arena, he faced the 39-year-old Albanian Sefer Seferi, a career cruiserweight. Fury weighed 276 lb, 66 lb heavier than his opponent, though he had already lost 112 lb. Seferi quit on his stool after round 4. Referee Phil Edwards had warned Fury for showboating in round 2.
Francesco Pianeta followed on the 18th of August at Windsor Park in Belfast. Fury weighed 258 lb, 18 lb lighter than against Seferi, and won on the referee's card by 100-90. Contracts for Wilder were agreed by the end of August.
The Wilder fight was held on the 1st of December 2018 at the Staples Center, in front of 17,698 people. Wilder had a guaranteed purse of $4 million and Fury $3 million. After pay-per-view revenue, Wilder could earn $14 million to Fury's $10.25 million. Fury spent much of the night moving his upper and lower body to avoid Wilder's power, and switched to southpaw in round 6. In round 9, Wilder dropped Fury with a short left hook and an overhand right, but Fury beat referee Jack Reiss's count.
In round 12 of that fight, Wilder landed a right-left combination that put Fury down hard on his back. The crowd, the commentators and Wilder thought it was over. Reiss began to count, and Fury got up. He finished the round on his feet, landing some right hands.
Judge Alejandro Rochin scored it 115-111 for Wilder, Robert Tapper had it 114-112 for Fury, and Phil Edwards scored it 113-113. The crowd booed. Fury landed 84 of 327 punches, or 26 percent. Wilder landed 71 of 430, or 17 percent. Fury out-landed him in 9 of the 12 rounds. The fight sold about 325,000 pay-per-view buys in the United States and grossed about $24 million, the most lucrative heavyweight fight there since 2003.
Promoter Bob Arum thought it was small compared with the potential. He said a rematch could surpass Floyd Mayweather Jr. against Manny Pacquiao, which grossed over $600 million, because "here we have the biggest men in the sport".
After Wilder, Fury signed a five-fight contract with ESPN and Top Rank worth £80 million, or $100 million. On the 15th of June 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, he stopped the undefeated Tom Schwarz in round 2. During that fight he deliberately backed onto the ropes and let Schwarz throw. He slipped the punches with head movement, to applause from the 9,000 people in attendance.
Otto Wallin tested him on the 14th of September at the T-Mobile Arena. Wallin cut Fury above the right eye in round 3. An accidental clash of heads opened another cut over the eyelid in round 5. A ringside doctor examined him in round 6, and he continued. Fury won by unanimous decision, 116-112, 117-111 and 118-110. He praised Wallin, a more than 10-1 underdog, and offered condolences, since Wallin's father had recently died. He then called out Wilder for a rematch.
Before the rematch with Wilder on the 22nd of February 2020, Fury split with trainer Ben Davison. Davison had coached him since late 2017 and was nominated for 2018 Trainer of the Year. Fury teamed up with SugarHill Steward, nephew of Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward. He returned to the Kronk Gym, where he had briefly trained in 2010. The contract allowed the loser to invoke a third fight. Fury weighed 273 lb to Wilder's 231 lb, because he wanted size and power to look for a knockout.
In round 3, Fury floored Wilder with a right hand to the temple, and blood began to stream from Wilder's left ear. Referee Kenny Bayless ruled two further falls to be slips, but Fury knocked Wilder down again in round 5. In the seventh, Wilder's corner threw in the towel. The cards read 59-52, 58-53 and 59-52, with Bayless taking a point from Fury in round 5 for holding.
With that win, Fury became the first man to beat two champions who had made 10 or more defences. Klitschko had made 18 and Wilder 10. He also became the third heavyweight after Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson to hold The Ring title twice. The gate of $16,916,440 broke the Nevada heavyweight record set by Evander Holyfield against Lennox Lewis in November 1999.
The trilogy fight took until the 9th of October 2021 to happen. A July 2020 date was lost to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the 12th of October 2020, Fury dropped the trilogy when no new date was offered. On the 17th of May 2021, arbitration judge Daniel Weinstein ruled that he must honour the clause. Fury signed on the 22nd of May 2021, during an ESPN broadcast. COVID-19 in his camp then moved the fight from the 24th of July to the 9th of October at the T-Mobile Arena.
Wilder won the first round on all three scorecards. In round 3, Fury dropped him with a series of right hands, and the bell saved Wilder. In round 4, Wilder put Fury down twice, but the champion recovered and pushed ahead. In round 10, a right hook decked Wilder, and in round 11 a clean right hook ended it. Referee Robert Mora waved it off, after five knockdowns in all. At the stoppage, the cards read 95-91, 94-92 and 95-92 for Fury.
Fury landed 150 of 385 punches, or 39 percent. Wilder landed 72 of 355, or 20 percent. No opponent had landed more on Wilder. Arum said he had promoted for 57 years and had never seen a heavyweight fight as magnificent. Fury called Wilder a sore loser for refusing to show sportsmanship. He declared, "I'm now the greatest heavyweight of my era, without a doubt."
On the 30th of December 2021, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman ruled that Fury would take 80 percent of the purse against mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte. Purse bids were opened on the 28th of January 2022. Queensberry won the rights with a bid of $41,025,000, or £31 million, beating Matchroom's $32,222,222. It was reported as the highest successful purse bid in boxing history. A fight with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk never materialised, because former champion Anthony Joshua was unwilling to step aside.
At the first press conference, held at Wembley Stadium on the 1st of March with Whyte absent, Fury was in full showman mode. He said, "Even Tyson Fury versus his own shadow sells," and promised a fight like a "Ferrari racing a Vauxhall Corsa". He said it would be his last, with "£150m in the bank and nothing to prove to anybody". Tickets went on sale on the 2nd of March, and 85,000 of the 90,000 available sold within three hours.
The crowd on the 23rd of April 2022 numbered 94,000. That was 4,000 more than for Joshua against Klitschko at Wembley in 2017, and a new European record for a boxing match. Fury's ring walk lasted eight minutes, with fireworks and a re-recording of Don McLean's "American Pie" over clips of his knockouts. He wore the colours of the St George's Cross, stopped to put on a crown, and sat on a throne. "Jerusalem" played, and he walked out to "Juicy" by The Notorious B.I.G. and "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon.
Whyte started in a southpaw stance, and Fury answered by switching stances in round 2. Whyte was cut over the right eye in round 4. With about ten seconds left in round 6, a left jab and a right uppercut sent Whyte sprawling. The referee stopped the fight after two minutes and fifty-nine seconds of the sixth round, with Fury ahead 49-46, 48-47 and 50-45.
In the ring, Fury said he had been in the game 20 years and would be 34 in a few months. He felt he owed the fans one last homecoming. "This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang," he said. Yet the rankings tell a different story. As of November 2025, BoxRec lists him as the sixth-best active heavyweight. In May 2025, Forbes placed him third among the world's highest-paid athletes, at an estimated $146 million.
