Early Life

Born in August 1988 in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England, Tyson Fury is the son of Irish parents, Amber and John. He arrived one month premature, leading doctors to inform his parents of the low survival chances. John recalled:

“The doctors told me there was not much chance of him living. I had lost two daughters in the same way, who had been born prematurely.“

The name Tyson was chosen by John to honor his son’s fighting spirit and survival against the odds. At the time of his birth, Mike Tyson was the undefeated heavyweight champion. Tyson’s mother had 14 pregnancies, of which only four children survived. When he was 9, his mother gave birth to a daughter who tragically passed away shortly after birth, which profoundly affected young Tyson, prompting him to direct his anger toward boxing. His father trained him and remained his coach until 2011 when he was incarcerated.

At 11 years old, Tyson stopped attending school and began working with his father and three brothers as laborers tarmacking roads.

Boxing Career

Although denied the opportunity to represent Ireland in the Olympic Games, Fury was subsequently permitted to fight for both Ireland and Great Britain after tracing his family roots to Belfast. As an amateur, he secured the ABA championship in 2008. In December 2008, he turned professional, making his debut by defeating Bela Gyongyosi. He won the English Heavyweight title in November 2009 against John McDermott. Fury triumphed over McDermott once again in June 2010 to claim the vacant English Heavyweight title. He captured the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles by defeating Dereck Chisora in July 2011. In 2012, he won the Irish Heavyweight title from Martin Rogan, the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title from Vinny Maddalone, and in 2014, he clinched both the European and WBO International Heavyweight titles from Dereck Chisora.

Klitschko Fight & Purse

In 2015, everything came together for Tyson, allowing him to face Wladimir Klitschko in a world heavyweight title match involving the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Lineal, and The Ring heavyweight titles. This highly anticipated fight took place in Dusseldorf, Germany, on November 28, 2015, and was witnessed by a full-capacity audience.

earn around $50 million for this bout. Tyson Fury was the overwhelming favorite, with odds heavily in his favor.

The matchup went the full duration. Following 12 rounds, the decision was made, naming Fury the unequivocal winner. Tyson received $7 million merely for participation, while Klitschko made approximately $23 million. After accounting for Pay Per View bonuses, Tyson Fury’s total earnings soared to an estimated $45 million.

This victory improved Fury’s record to 25 wins, 0 losses, with 18 knockouts, positioning him for a potentially lucrative rematch with Klitschko. The rematch was announced in April 2016, but sadly, Fury gained 100 pounds. By September 2016, Tyson was deemed “medically unfit” for the scheduled fight. A second postponement came when he reportedly failed a drug test for cocaine.

Falling into a profound depression, Fury expressed his turmoil in an interview with Rolling Stone:

“I’m grappling with a multitude of personal demons, trying to overcome them. This has no relation to my boxing – my struggles are about my personal existence. I haven’t set foot in a gym for months. I’ve been battling depression, feeling like I don’t want to continue living anymore. I’m utterly exhausted from it all. Forget cocaine; that seems trivial when viewed against the desire to not live. I seek assistance, but they’re unable to remedy what I have. To me, it feels incurable. Living just doesn’t appeal to me. Wealth and recognition mean little if one is unhappy. I’m in consultations with psychiatrists. They diagnose me with a version of bipolar disorder, declaring me a manic depressive. Awakening feels unnecessary. I wish for death daily. Admitting such feelings is troubling when I have three children and a wonderful wife, isn’t it? Yet, I have no will to survive. If I weren’t Christian and had the means, I would take my life instantly. I hope someone takes my life before I have to do it myself. I fear spending eternity in hell. I’ve turned to drinking from Monday right through to Sunday, mixing it with cocaine. It’s unbearable, and the only escape I find is through getting outrageously drunk.”

Return to the Ring

After forfeiting his world championships, Tyson spent more than two years reclaiming control over his life. He stepped back into the boxing ring in June 2018, securing a victory over Sefer Seferi, and followed it up with a win against Francesco Pianeta in August 2018.

In December 2018, Tyson encountered Deontay Wilder for the first time. Deontay received a guaranteed $4 million, while Tyson had a warranty of $3 million for the fight. Ultimately, both fighters reaped around $10 million each after the total revenue was evaluated, and the bout concluded in a draw. Remarkably, Tyson disclosed after the fight his intention to donate the entirety of his earnings, estimated at $10 million, to charitable causes.

In June 2019 Tyson achieved a TKO victory over Tom Schwarz.

By September 2019, he secured a unanimous decision win against Otto Wallin.
