Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, a British boxing giant standing tall at 6’9″ and tipping the scales at 278 lbs, has been ruling the heavyweight division with his iron fists since 2020. Not just a family man with a bunch of kids and a love story that dates back to 2008 with Paris, but Fury also boasts a record that reads like a warrior’s epic—especially his trilogy with Deontay Wilder (2-0-1, with 2 KOs) and a hat trick against Derek Chisora. Before claiming the WBC crown, he unified the heavyweight titles way back in 2015, only to take a brief hiatus from the throne. With a squad of fighting siblings by his side, Fury’s not just throwing punches; he’s crafting a legacy that’s as large as his frame. Tyson Fury’s net worth is estimated to be around £50million, according to Forbes magazine.
By Peter Fury: You can’t play down the importance of family.
Your family’s your family. There’s no changing it. It’s a bond like no other. If any one of your family had their little finger chopped off, it would impact you in some way. You’d feel it.
So, to have everybody comfortable and happy is a great thing for a fighter, especially one in Tyson’s position. He’s a wealthy man right now. He’s surrounded by family. Family is your blood – you care what happens to each and every one of them.

John Fury, the father of undefeated Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs), believes that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) will be reduced to tears next Wednesday during the press conference.
By Scott Gilfoid: Many fans aren’t giving the 6’9” British heavyweight Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) too much of a chance of pulling off an upset next month in his title challenge against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs on October 24th. Fury just doesn’t have the punching power, the chin, the conditioning for the experience to get the job done in the minds of the fans.
Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn, who has no dog in this hunt, thinks that Fury can win the fight if he’s technically sound on October 24th in their fight at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) doesn’t see IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) as having the needed experience to do a number on him in their fight on October 24th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Fury thinks that Klitschko’s best win of his career was against Britain’s David Haye in 2011. Fury doesn’t think much of that win because he doesn’t seem to rate Haye after he failed to make it out of two training camps for their previously scheduled fights in 2013.
By Scott Gilfoid: The light hitting Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) is trying to work on his punching power during this training camp to develop some explosive power so that he can score a knockout of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) in their fight on October 24th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Fury, 27, figures that he’ll need to get a knockout in this fight in order for him to win because he has serious doubts whether he’ll be given a decision win over the 39-year-old Klitschko in Germany.
By Scott Gilfoid: Kevin Mitchell (39-3, 29 KOs) is giving his vote of support to fellow countryman Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) to unseat IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) in their fight in a little over a month on October 24th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Mitchell thinks Fury is capable of scoring a knockout over the 6’7” Klitschko. He thinks that the combination of Fury’s size, strength and anger will be too much for the aging 39-year-old Klitschko.
“I think Fury beats him. I think it’ll be a late knockout or points for Fury. He’s too big and too strong and too angry,” Mitchell said to skysports.com.
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (16-0, 8 KOs) will be fighting next month against an opponent still to be determined on the undercard of the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tyson Fury on October 24th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. Hughie, 20, is the nephew of Tyson Fury.
Hughie’s opponent likely won’t be anyone dangerous because he’s still being matched up against weak opposition at this point in his career. There’s talk of Hughie eventually fighting 35-year-old “Big” John McDermott in the near future, but it’s unclear whether that fight will take place as soon as October 24th.
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) is still yapping about retiring if he loses to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) in their fight next month on October 24th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. Fury, 27, feels that there’s no reason to continue fighting if he can’t even beat the 39-year-old Klitschko, who clearly isn’t going to be around too much longer in the sport at his age.
I don’t buy Fury’s retirement stuff for one second, because he even admits it that he’ll continue to fight after he loses to Klitschko if he’s offered a whole bunch of money by someone to fight.
By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Peter Fury says his fighter Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) will absolutely be ready for whatever IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) brings to the ring on October 24th in their fight at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Fury has obviously been training with guys of similar height as the 6’6” Klitschko, and working at trying to defeat his distinct fighting style. However, it has to have been extremely difficult for Peter to find someone that can properly mimic the way that Klitschko fights, because there aren’t too many big heavyweights in the division that has his jab, left hook and right hand combination.
By Rob Blakeman: World Heavy weight challenger Tyson Fury is 2.06 meters tall (6 feet nine inches) and usually weighs around 120 kilo’s and that is impressive. It’s Bigger than Lennox Lewis, bigger than Joe Louis or George Foreman. It’s much, much bigger than Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield. It’s even bigger than either of the Klitschko’s, probably the most successful brothers in boxing ever-certainly as heavyweights. But as all these great champions proved on more than one occasion, bigger isn’t always better.
Indeed, many boxing fans have speculated that if he could be ‘Photo shopped’ down to the size of a more regular heavyweight would Fury even be a contender?
