How does getting married help with boxing? Tyson Fury has got the answer. The talks of a fight between Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion and Francis Ngannou, the former UFC Heavyweight champion had been brewing for a while. The two will finally face each other in a highly anticipated matchup. This fight will be the main event of a heavyweight boxing card taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, October 28th. The ten-round match takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to the WBC’s latest update, although it is a non-title fight, the outcome will be officially recorded in the records.

While both fighters are confident about their skills, Fury explains what helps him gain a higher ground against Ngannou in an interview with boxingkingmedia. Apparently, it is a well-settled and happy family life. Let us hear out what Fury has to say.

Tyson Fury on being a father to 7 children

Fury believes being married takes away all the distractions and selfish pleasures. “Someone who’s in a happy settled relationship, a married man will always do better in boxing because if you are young, you are out there looking for some girls and whatever you’re and you’re probably not doing your training right and you’re thinking about women when you should be thinking about getting punched in the face.” Instead of upgrading oneself, people tend to get caught up in other aspects of their personal life.

The ‘Gypsy King’ stepped into the married life before he stepped into the professional ring. This was immensely beneficial, according to him. Being a father to seven kids has taught him how to put others first. “If I was just a single person, it’d, everything would be about me but considering I’m not, I’ve got seven kids, father to seven kids then, it’s about the kids you know. Putting their future before mine. I’ve done what I got to do. like my life’s complete now.” A lot of Fury’s dedication now goes towards making sure his children are growing in the right direction. Good company is a pre-requisite for growth and the responsible father wants to make sure he keeps his children away from frauds.

Its not surprising to see the revered boxer speak in glowing terms of having a family due to the jovial nature of his family.
