Tyson Fury started boxing when he was just 10 years old. His father John Fury trained him until 2011 before he was put behind bars for gouging out the eye of a person due to a long-standing feud.
After that, the Englishman's uncle Hughie Fury trained him until he passed away in 2014. Fury's other uncle Peter Fury trained 'The Gypsy King' in his fight against Wladimir Klitschko.
The Fury Family has long had a big presence in the sport of boxing. Tyson Fury's father was initially a bare-knuckle and unlicensed boxer. He later competed in professional bouts and held an 8-4-1 professional record.
The WBC heavyweight champion's half-brother Tommy Fury made his professional debut in the sport in 2018. He's reportedly set to face YouTube sensation Jake Paul next.
