Below SunSport takes a look at each member of the Fury’s fighting empire.

He went on to win the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles from Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
Tyson was stripped the IBF belt just ten days after winning it after he refused to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.
The remaining three belts were vacated in 2016 pending an investigation over anti-doping and medical issues.
Most recently he won the WBC title from his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder.
Tommy Fury

TOMMY FURY has thrust himself into the spotlight with his high-profile fights in influencer boxing.
In October 2023 he beat KSI, which followed a split-decision win over Jake Paul in February.
Tommy is Tyson’s half brother, sharing the same father but different mothers.
TNT saw a large part of his fame come from appearing on Love Island in 2019.
While on the reality TV show he met fiancee and mother of his daughter, Bambi, Molly-Mae Hague.
He featured prominently in Netlfix’s At Home With The Fury’s documentary.
Roman Fury

ROMAN FURY is Tommy’s brother, Tyson’s half-brother, and fights at cruiserweight.
He has been described by the Gypsy King as “an aspiring cruiserweight champion of the future.”
Roman previously held a scholarship to become a rugby player before his weight shot up to 19 stone.
After starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown Roman shed six stone before having his first pro boxing fight in October 2022.
John Fury

FATHER to Tyson, Tommy and Roman, the often explosive John Fury had his own noteworthy career in the ring with 13 pro fights under his belt between 1987 to 1995.
John’s career however, was far less illustrious than his son’s would prove to be.
Born in 1964, he was beaten on his boxing debut by rugby league player Adam Fogerty before going on to win his next six fights on the bounce.
A 1989 draw with David Hopkins would end this streak, before he had a shot at the Central Area title with Neil Malpass which he lost on points.
Wins against future British and Italian title challengers would follow, before he was brutally KO’d against future WBO champion Henry Akinwade which sparked a four-year ring absence.
He would return against 1995 but was knocked out inside four rounds. After hanging up his gloves he would train son Tyson, which has gone on to yield great success.
John was raised as a Gypsy and still keeps up with traveller tradition.
Hughie Fury

He is the cousin of Tyson and has a pro record of 26 wins (15 KOs) and three defeats.
Hughie challenged for the WBO heavyweight title in 2017 and previously asserted he would be able to beat Anthony Joshua.
Born in 1994, Hughie was the first British boxer to win gold in the super-heavyweight division at the 2012 Youth World Championships.
