Tyson Fury, who goes by the nickname ‘The Gypsy King,’ hails from Manchester, England, and was born on August 12, 1988, to John and Amber Fury. Despite being born prematurely, weighing just 1 pound (450 g), he defied the odds, a feat that led his father, John Fury, to name him after the renowned boxer Mike Tyson. Boxing runs deep in the Fury family. Tyson’s father, "Gypsy" John Fury, was a well-known boxer in the 1980s, competing both bare-knuckled and professionally. His half-brother, Tommy, began his own boxing journey in December 2018, under the tutelage of Ricky Hatton, a two-weight world champion. The Fury lineage intertwines with various boxing talents, including Hughie Fury and Nathan Gorman in the heavyweight division, retired WBO middleweight world champion Andy Lee, and light heavyweight contender Hosea Burton.

A previous holder of the WBC heavyweight Title, Tyson Fury is widely regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxers globally, a sentiment echoed by BoxRec and ESPN. With an unblemished professional record of 34 wins 1 loss and 1 draw (34-1-1), Fury’s next bout is a rematch against Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight status on December 21, 2024.
