As one of the most accomplished heavyweight boxers of the modern era, Tyson Fury has been known to enjoy his life outside of the ring. Along with his wife, Paris, Fury raises a family of three daughters, three sons, and an expensive family pet.
In 2022, the then-retired boxer decided that his status as a celebrity and wealthy home made his family vulnerable to a potential invasion. Despite being one of the scariest men on the planet, Fury decided to dig deep into his pockets and invest in a guard dog, bringing home a large Rottweiler to add to his household.

After defending his WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles against Dillian Whyte in April 2022, Tyson Fury announced his short-lived retirement, having amassed a net worth of roughly $60 million. With a portion of that money, Fury decided to get his family a guard dog named Cash.
According to reports, Cash would be a fitting name for the Rottweiler, who set 'The Gypsy King' back £20,000, equivalent to roughly $25,340. The purchase was intended to provide security to his family.
Fury shared the announcement of his dog in a now-deleted Instagram post from June 2022. In the post, the boxer welcomed the large pup to his family while tagging the account of the United Kingdom-based company Elite Protection Dogs.
The brand claims to sell highly-trained guard dogs, fitting the profile of Fury's needs.
The lifespan of Tyson Fury's dog
In the social media posts about his dog, Tyson Fury has not mentioned the specific age of his giant Rottweiler. However, given the cost of the pet and the relatively short expected lifespan of Cash's breed, it is assumed that the heavyweight champion purchased his canine at a young age.
Since Fury bought Cash in June 2022, the fighter's dog is likely around two years old. Per PetMD, the Fury family can expect to have their beloved guard dog for roughly six to eight more years with the average lifespan of a Rottweiler around 8-10 years.
