Fury left school at 11 to work with his family tarmacking roads and started boxing at age 10. His family had a history of boxing, with his father and half-brother also being involved. Fury, winning medals and titles, represented England and Ireland in his amateur career. He turned professional in 2008 with a record of 31-4 and a decision not to pursue the 2012 Olympics due to disillusionment with amateur boxing.

The couple endured the loss of a child due to a miscarriage and another child on the day of Fury's comeback fight in 2018.
