After going 12 rounds with Jermaine Franklin, Anthony Joshua [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-joshua/] tried to defend his performance. The 33-year-old and former unified world Heavyweight champion made references to Mike Tyson and looked forward to justifying his 12-round performance at the post-fight conference. According to Joshua, if Mike Tyson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mike-tyson/] himself could afford to go 12 rounds in boxing, there was nothing wrong with his last fight in the ring. Despite admitting he had to “get smarter in the ring”, ‘AJ’ referred to two of Tyson’s fights in professional boxing. While on one hand, ‘AJ’ struggled to remember the last name of an opponent of Tyson, on the other, he was factually incorrect. ANTHONY JOSHUA EXHIBITS FAULTY MIKE TYSON KNOWLEDGE Anthony Joshua, having won his 25th professional fight, made allusions to Mike Tyson’s fights against Pinklon Thomas and Tony Tucker in the ring. While Tyson went 12 rounds with Tony Tucker, he actually finished Pinklon Thomas via a 6th-round TKO when they met. However, Joshua claimed Tyson fought 12 rounds with both Thomas and Tucker inside the squared circle. “I’ll be honest with you. If Mike Tyson went 12 rounds with people like Pinklon Thomas and I think it was Tony Tucker. He went 12, what’s wrong with me going 12 rounds?” Joshua declared at the post-fight conference.

Anthony Joshua

ANTHONY JOSHUA Anthony Joshua: Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Record, Endorsements, and More Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua or &#8216;AJ&#8217; as fans fondly call him has seen a meteoric to stardom in the heavyweight division. TheÂ two-timeÂ unified heavyweight champion has seen a lot of success ever since his professional debut in July 2013. Other than the traditional juggernauts of the heavyweight division like Mohammed Ali andÂ Mike Tyson, only a handful have had more success and have dominated the international boxing scene like the Englishman. He has successfully amassed a series ofÂ accoladesÂ over the course of his career. &#8216;AJ&#8217; won the IBF title in 2016, the WBA (Super) title in 2017, the WBO in March 2018, the IBO title in 2017, and the British and Commonwealth title at the regional level from 2014 to 2016. Athletics has always been AJ&#8217;s strength, from soccer to track and field. He has always been a prodigy. Joshua attempted to try his hand at boxing at the age of 18 after taking his cousin&#8217;s advice. Who is Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua holds the prestigious title of being a former unified world heavyweight champion. His journey in the boxing world began in his late teens, transitioning from a footballer and athlete to a formidable boxer. Joshuaâ€™s transformation from a troubled teenager to a heavyweight professional is a testament to his determination and resilience. His physical prowess and skill led him to an undefeated streak during his amateur career, culminating in a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Joshuaâ€™s meteoric rise from the amateur ranks to world championships has solidified his reputation as a powerful puncher and a formidable opponent. Out of the six heavyweight belts globally, Joshua has previously conquered four holding them all at the same time, underscoring his dominance in the sport. His achievements and persona led him to be a contender for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, further cementing his place in the annals of boxing history. Anthony Joshua&#8217;s Early Life Anthony Joshua was born â€˜Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshuaâ€™ on October 15, 1989, in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK. However, he spent a part of his childhood in his parentâ€™s home country, Nigeria. His mother, Yeta Odusanya, is Nigerian, and his father, Robert Joshua, is part Nigerian and part Irish. He went to school in a Nigerian town called Ikene. He was 12 years old when his parents split, and his mother decided to move back. AJ returned to Watford to attend Kings Langley Secondary School. He was nicknamed &#8216;Femi&#8217; by his friends and teachers because of his middle name &#8216;Oluwafemi&#8217;. Upon joining Kings Langley Secondary School, Anthony Joshua inclined towards sports and doubled down in that domain. SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND &#8211; MARCH 21: Anthony Joshua trains during a media workout at the English Institute of Sport on March 21, 2018 in Sheffield, England. (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) The former champion excelled at football and athletics while growing up and showed great promise as a sprinter when he broke the 100m record where he completed the run in 11.6 seconds. Joshua grew up in Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire. The area was infamous for its crimes and drug problems. Growing up in this region, he found himself caught up in fights and all sorts of troubles as a teenager. Before being absorbed by boxing, he worked as a bricklayer. His cousin, Ben Lleyemi, took him to the Finchley Amateur Boxing Club in Barnet. This proved to be a turning point as he soon began training as a boxer here. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Girlfriend and Children As of early 2024, Joshua doesn&#8217;t appear to be in a romantic relationship. Fans have continued to be curious about the star&#8217;s dating life throughout his career, despite the boxer keeping his private life out of the spotlight. In 2022 AJ&#8217;s supporters were sent into a frenzy when he made an appearance at a UFC show in London wearing what looked like a wedding ring. It was later revealed, however, that the piece of jewelry was actually a Â£300 Oura Ring &#8211; a hi-tech fitness tracker. AJ has been linked to a number of famous women since embarking on his sporting career, including supermodels Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid. In October 2023 the boxer dismissed rumors of any A-list flings that have hit the headlines, saying: &#8220;I havenâ€™t actually been with any of those girls, by the way.&#8221; AJ then admitted that he was dating, but nobody famous. He said: &#8220;Iâ€™ve had girlfriends, but you could be in the local supermarket or in the local petrol station when we meet.&#8221;Â  Joshua himself once said he doesn&#8217;t have a lot of time for girlfriends, and couldn&#8217;t see himself settling down until his boxing career is over. He once said, &#8220;If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can&#8217;t foresee the future I&#8217;d rather they jump off the boat because I can&#8217;t stop for no one right now.&#8221; One former girlfriend who does play a significant part in AJ&#8217;s life is Nicole Osbourne, the mother of his son, named Joseph Bayley Temiloluwa Prince Joshua, affectionately nicknamed â€œJJâ€. JJ was born in October 2015 to Joshua and his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Osbourne. At present, Joseph is 7 years old. Joshua and Osbourne share custody of Joseph and maintain an amicable relationship. They are often seen together at public events. It was reported at the time that Joshua had bought a Â£500,000 flat in Finchley, North London for his son and ex-girlfriend. Although Anthony and Nicole are not in a relationship, the star has showered the mother of his son with praise. Speaking to Louis Theroux in the documentary maker&#8217;s BBC Two series, Anthony said: â€œShe&#8217;s an amazing woman, you know. We got together in 2005, we were about 15 or 16 years old. I have so much respect for her.&#8221; Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Net Worth 2024 34-year-old, AJ comes with a grand career record of 27-3. Ever since his debut in 2013, heâ€™s been under a promotional contract with Eddie Hearnâ€™s Matchroom Boxing. Their alliance has led to the fighter booking some of the most lucrative matchups of this era. For instance, his two-loss fights against Ukrainian fighter, Usyk in the years 2021-22, got him a combined total of about $100 million. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ots2-8Dxfl8&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing His first Andy Ruiz fight from 2019, which he lost, earned him about $25 million. However, in the same year, for their rematch, which he won, he hit the jackpot by taking home close to $60 million. Last year, from the three fights he undertook, his Riyadh clash against Otto Wallin came to him with a victory and an additional $10 million. The Londoner, who has a massive following throughout his social media accounts is also said to be earning tens of thousands of dollars per month via endorsements. He has signed with brands like Lucozade, Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Land Rover, and Jaguar. As per records, his net worth as of December last year stands at a whopping $100 million. READ:?Â Anthony Joshua: All Video Game Appearances Anthony Joshua: Career Timeline Boxing under the promotional banner of Matchroom Boxing, Joshua burst onto the professional scene in 2013. He took on Emanuele Leo and beat him in the first round at the O2 Arena in London. Ring MagazineÂ named Joshua The Prospect of the Year, just a year after his emergence in the professional boxing circuit. JoshuaÂ bagged a silver in the World Championship back in 2011, which got the ball rolling for the Londoner. However,Â heÂ became a star when heÂ wonÂ the Gold Medal at the 2012 London Olympics against former World Champion, Roberto Cammarelle. Joshua conceded the onlyÂ defeatÂ of his career at the hands ofÂ Andy Ruiz Jr.Â The loss actively stripped him of all his titles. However, AJ overcame Ruiz in a rematch in 2019 andÂ reclaimedÂ his lost treasures, simultaneously becoming the two-time heavyweight champion of the world.

After Pulev, Joshua set himself up for one of the biggest upsets in boxing history when he went against Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, 2021. Joshua faced the highly skilled Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Usyk presented a formidable challenge with his technical proficiency and slick movement. Despite Joshua&#8217;s efforts, Usyk outboxed him throughout the fight, resulting in a unanimous decision victory for Usyk. This defeat marked a setback for Joshua losing him the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight belts, and also added an intriguing chapter to his career. Determined to regain his title again, he activated the rematch clause and went up against Usyk a second time on August 20, 2022. In their highly anticipated rematch, Usyk once again emerged victorious, securing a split-decision win over Joshua. The fight added another chapter to their rivalry and raised questions about Joshua&#8217;s future in the heavyweight division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yQ1jippKqU&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing After those defeats, he returned to the winning ways, defeating Jermaine Franklin Jr. and Robert Helenius, the latter by KO. In December, he went up against Swedish Heavyweight Otto Wallin on the Day of Reckoning card in Saudi Arabia. Anthony Joshua put on a career reinvigorating performance against Wallin by smashing him with powerful jabs that forced his corner to throw in the towel in round 5 ending the fight via a TKO. Now after a successful comeback to form in 2023, he now prepares for the Predator, Francis Ngannou in hopes of eventually getting a shot at winning back his titles. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Contract Joshua made his pro debut in 2013 under the Matchroom banner. A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Joshua won the IBF heavyweight title in 2016, the WBA and IBO titles in 2017, and the WBO title in 2018. During this time he beat a who&#8217;s who of fighters, including Dillian Whyte, Charles Martin, Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin.

Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua signed an exclusive partnership with DAZN, leaving Sky Sports in the process before his fight with Oleksandr Usyk. The deal included at least two fights a year until his retirement. The deal also saw Joshua becoming a shareholder, special advisor, and brand ambassador for DAZN.

He also left Sky Sports and signed an exclusive contract with DAZN that will see him rake in another Â£100m in exchange for two fights every 12 months until he retires.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson&#8217;s Net Worth 2024, Salary, Partner, Family, and More Who is Mike Tyson? Michael Gerard Tyson, widely known as Mike Tyson, is an American former professional boxer, often celebrated as one of the most fearsome fighters in heavyweight boxing history. Nicknamed &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221; for his raw power and aggressive style, Tyson dominated the boxing world in the 1980s and became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20. His terrifying persona and unpredictable temperament led him to be known as &#8220;The Baddest Man on the Planet.&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s career, spanning from 1985 to 2005, is marked by both astonishing victories and deeply controversial moments, such as his infamous 1997 &#8220;Bite Fight&#8221; against Evander Holyfield. At the height of his boxing fame, he was one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

Raised in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, he encountered challenges that shaped his life both inside and outside the ring. Tyson’s explosive fighting style, grounded in his legendary “Peek-a-Boo” defense technique, made him an intimidating presence, often winning fights by knockout in the early rounds. Despite his achievements, his life has also been marked by legal issues, financial troubles, and personal struggles, making his story one of resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Mike Tyson’s Early Life Born on June 30, 1966, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson&#8217;s early life was fraught with difficulties. His father, Purcell Tyson, abandoned the family when Mike was young, leaving his mother, Lorna Smith, to raise him and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise, on her own. Tyson’s early childhood was shaped by the challenges of growing up in a crime-heavy neighborhood, often witnessing violence and poverty. Frequent moves and financial instability left Tyson with a chaotic and troubled upbringing. By age ten, Tyson had moved with his family to Brownsville, Brooklyn, known as one of the most dangerous areas in New York City. Tyson&#8217;s aggressive streak became apparent early on, and he quickly earned a reputation as a fierce street fighter. By age 13, he had been arrested 38 times for petty crimes, many related to his involvement in local gangs. Tyson’s life took a positive turn when he was placed in the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile detention center in Johnstown, New York. There, a counselor named Bobby Stewart, who was also an amateur boxing champion, noticed Tyson’s potential. Stewart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing trainer Cus D&#8217;Amato, who became a father figure to the young fighter and took him under his wing. D&#8217;Amato saw raw talent in Tyson and believed he had the potential to become the heavyweight champion of the world. The trainer&#8217;s guidance and discipline laid the foundation for Tyson’s future boxing career and eventual stardom. Image Credits &#8211; Cus D&#8217;Amato Boxing Club (Instagram) Mike Tyson’s Wife, Kids and Former Partners The 58-year-old has been married three times and is the father of seven children, including the late Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens in 1988. The relationship quickly became troubled, with allegations of domestic abuse and erratic behavior leading to a highly publicized divorce in 1989. Givens described Tyson as volatile and abusive, and their split was covered extensively by the media, adding fuel to Tyson’s image as a controversial figure. Tyson’s second marriage was to pediatrician Monica Turner, whom he married in 1997. The couple had two children, Amir and Rayna, but divorced in 2003 due to Tyson’s infidelity. Despite the split, Turner has spoken positively about Tyson’s role as a father. In 2009, Tyson married Lakiha &#8220;Kiki&#8221; Spicer, and they have two children together, Morocco and Milan. Spicer has been a steady influence in Tyson’s life, helping him through personal and financial hardships. Press conference film Bunny-Man.

Turin, Italy 07 February 2024, PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRAxUSA Copyright: xGiulioxLaponexSyncx/xAvalonx 0844275651 In addition to his marriages, Tyson has had relationships with several women, including Kimberly Scarborough, with whom he has a daughter named Mikey Lorna Tyson. His relationship with Sol Xochitl produced two children, Miguel Leon Tyson and Exodus Tyson. Tragically, Exodus passed away at the age of four in 2009 after a tragic accident involving a treadmill cord. This incident deeply affected Tyson, marking one of the most sorrowful moments in his life. Mike Tyson’s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. Tyson’s earnings from boxing were once astronomical, reaching an estimated $400 million in total. During his peak, he was among the wealthiest athletes globally, raking in millions from fights and endorsements. However, extravagant spending, legal issues, and poor financial management led Tyson to declare bankruptcy in 2003. He reportedly owed nearly $23 million to various creditors, including the IRS, after years of high living and costly lawsuits.

(Photo by Focus on Sport/Gettty Images) Since then, Tyson has rebuilt his wealth through a mix of business ventures, endorsements, and public appearances. His 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. drew significant pay-per-view sales, bringing in around $80 million. Tyson also launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0, which has become one of his most lucrative ventures, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. This, combined with endorsements and his podcast Hotboxin&#8217; with Mike Tyson, has allowed him to stabilize his financial status and regain some of his wealth. Mike Tyson’s Career Timeline 1985: Mike Tyson’s professional career began on March 6, when he knocked out Hector Mercedes in the first round. Tyson went on to win his first 19 fights by knockout, 12 of them in the very first round, which quickly established his reputation as a fearsome contender. 1986: Tyson claimed his first title, the WBC heavyweight championship, on November 22, after defeating Trevor Berbick by TKO in the second round. This victory made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at the age of 20 years and 4 months. 1987: Tyson unified the heavyweight division, winning the WBA and IBF titles and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He was widely regarded as the most formidable boxer of his era. 1988: Tyson successfully defended his titles against top fighters, including Larry Holmes and Tony Tubbs, reinforcing his position as the reigning champion.

(via Getty Images) 1990: In a stunning upset on February 11, James &#8220;Buster&#8221; Douglas knocked out Tyson in the tenth round at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, ending his undefeated streak. Tyson&#8217;s defeat to Douglas remains one of the most shocking moments in boxing history. 1992-1995: Tyson was convicted of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before being released in 1995.  1996: Tyson reclaimed the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles in his comeback, defeating Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. Later that year, he faced Evander Holyfield, losing by TKO in the 11th round. 1997: Tyson’s rematch with Holyfield became infamous as the &#8220;Bite Fight.&#8221; Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear, resulting in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking his boxing license and fining him $3 million. 2002: On June 8 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis in a heavyweight title bout that drew 1.95 million pay-per-view buys, ranking among the era&#8217;s highest-grossing events. Lewis leveraged his 84-inch reach and technical skill, dominating the match and knocking out Tyson in the eighth round to retain his WBC, IBF, and IBO titles. This marked Tyson’s final bid for a heavyweight title, solidifying Lewis&#8217;s legacy while concluding a significant chapter in Tyson&#8217;s career. 2005: After consecutive losses, Tyson retired from professional boxing. His last match was against Kevin McBride, where he retired in the sixth round. 2020: Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Despite ending in a draw, the match drew immense viewership, reflecting Tyson’s enduring popularity.

(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images for Netflix) Mike Tyson’s Partnerships and Endorsements Over the years, Tyson has collaborated with several prominent brands, leveraging his fame and boxing legacy. In his early career, Tyson endorsed Pepsi, Nintendo, and Toyota. In recent years, Tyson has endorsed Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups. He also has partnerships with Futurola, a company offering premium smoking accessories like pre-rolls and cones, and Zumiez, a fashion brand. Tyson’s influence expanded with his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, where he interviews celebrities and athletes. His brand, Tyson Pro, offers performance athletic gear, while the MT Collection includes official Tyson merchandise. These partnerships underscore Tyson’s influence in various industries, from sportswear to lifestyle products. There is another partnership that Mike Tyson had. This was with legendary boxing promoter, Don King. Don King became involved with Tyson around the time Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987. Tyson was initially managed by Cus D&#8217;Amato and then later by Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton. After the death of Jacobs in 1988, Don King moved in as a mentor and promoter, positioning himself as a father figure for Tyson. King saw an opportunity in Tyson&#8217;s rising stardom and quickly became his promoter. King promised Tyson greater control over his career and higher earnings. Tyson, drawn by King&#8217;s charismatic presence and promises, eventually parted ways with Cayton, putting his career in King’s hands. (Original Caption) Mike Tyson, Don King, and Mohammed Ali, all clasping hands wearing tuxedos in the boxing ring at the Las Vegas Hilton. During their partnership, King arranged some of the highest-grossing fights of Tyson’s career, including bouts against Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield. Under King’s guidance, Tyson achieved extraordinary fame and wealth, with King reportedly taking a significant percentage of Tyson’s fight earnings. Despite this, Tyson trusted King during these peak years, relying on him as both a promoter and confidant. The relationship began to deteriorate in the early 1990s, especially after Tyson was convicted and imprisoned for assault in 1992. Upon his release in 1995, Tyson’s suspicions about King’s management practices grew. Tyson eventually accused King of exploiting him financially, alleging that King had taken millions from his earnings and engaged in unethical practices. In 1998, Tyson filed a $100 million lawsuit against King, claiming financial exploitation and breach of trust. The suit was settled out of court for a reported $14 million, but Tyson severed ties with King permanently, referring to him in later years as &#8220;ruthless&#8221; and &#8220;deceptive&#8221;. Mike Tyson’s Investments Mike Tyson&#8217;s most profitable investment is in the cannabis industry, where he launched Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand. His unique product, “Mike Bites,” cannabis edibles shaped like an ear, references the infamous “Bite Fight” with Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 has proven to be financially successful, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. Today, the brand is worth more than $16 million. The brand expanded to include a line called “Holy Bites” in partnership with Evander Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 also partnered with Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” brand, increasing its market reach and appeal.

This venture is part of his broader involvement in the wellness and lifestyle sectors, aimed at normalizing cannabis use and reducing the stigma around it.

(Photo by Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images) Tyson’s aggressive “Peek-a-Boo” fighting style was central to his dominance. The technique, taught to him by Cus D’Amato, involved holding his gloves close to his face and constantly bobbing and weaving to evade opponents’ punches. This allowed Tyson to close in on his opponents and deliver devastating knockout punches, often ending fights early. Mike Tyson’s Charity and Foundation Mike Tyson has contributed to several charitable causes over the years, including his own Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, which provides support for at-risk youth. The foundation’s initiatives focus on healthcare, education, and housing, providing a safe environment for children from troubled backgrounds. Tyson has also participated in various events and made donations to support different causes, reflecting his desire to give back to the community despite his turbulent past. Mike Tyson’s House Mike Tyson currently resides in Henderson, Nevada, a suburban area near Las Vegas. His residence is considerably more modest than the luxurious mansions he owned during his prime. Tyson previously owned a mansion in Connecticut that included a nightclub, casino, and indoor pool, among other extravagant features. He also owned properties in Ohio, Maryland, and Nevada. Following his bankruptcy, Tyson sold many of these properties, including his Connecticut mansion, which was later purchased by rapper 50 Cent.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Who is Tyson Fury?</b></h2>
The man whom everyone in the boxing circuit regards as the 'Gypsy King' was born on the 12th of August in 1988. Tyson was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/inside-the-comeback-story-of-tyson-fury-the-undefeated-gypsy-king-who-overcame-a-depression-and-shed-112-pounds-to-be-heavyweight-champion-of-the-world-twice/articleshow/74344114.cms">born</a> 3 months before schedule, coming in at a mere 1lb. His chances of survival were extremely low.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2105496" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0302154559h.jpg" alt="Tyson Fury" />

However, he survived. His father named him after the legendary Mike Tyson. The Englishman followed in his American namesake and <a href="https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/27680">father</a>'s footsteps into the boxing ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tyson Fury's family and early life</strong></h2>
Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Through John Fury's second marriage to Chantal, who has Mauritian ancestry, Tyson Fury is a half-brother to Tommy Fury, Roman Fury, a Cruiserweight contender, and John Fury Jr., reportedly an amateur boxer.

'The Gypsy King' was born on 12th August 1988. He grew up in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, England. From an early age, he showed an aptitude for boxing. Hailing from an Irish traveling family, and a long bloodline of fighters, some would say Tyson choosing the 'sweet science' as his profession was inevitable. He began boxing at the age of ten, thriving under the guidance of his father. With John Fury championing him, Tyson did quite well in his amateur career. He became the EU Junior Champion in May 2007 and ABA national champion in 2008, before turning professional at the age of 20.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris Fury's fairytale romance, began during their teenage years when he was seventeen and she was fifteen. Finally, in 2008, roughly a year after they started going out, the future Heavyweight champion and Paris walked down the aisle together at the Catholic church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, St. Peter in Chains.

During the last fifteen years of togetherness, the couple have become proud parents of four boys and three girls. Their eldest child is 13-year-old Venezuela. She is followed by Prince John James, who is eleven.

Born in July 2016, Prince Tyson II is the couple's third child. 5-year-old Valencia, Tyson Fury's second daughter, follows him. She would be turning six by December of this year. In 2019, The Gypsy King and Paris Fury welcomed their fifth child, their third son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, who is 4 years old.

Two months before the Deontay Wilder trilogy fight, Tyson Fury introduced his sixth child and third daughter, Athena, to the world. The youngest member of the Fury family turned two in August this year.

Last month, on September 18, Tyson and Paris Fury welcomed the birth of their seventh child, a baby boy. Early this month, the proud parents shared his name with the world - Prince Rico Paris Fury.
<p style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s net worth 2024</b></p>
Money has never been at the top of Fury's mind. However, no one in their right mind will turn incoming big bucks down. Fury's net worth is estimated to be $65 million in 2023.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Fury made his professional debut in December 2008. He took on Bela Gyongyosi in his first outing as a professional. The preliminary card bout ended with Fury dropping his Hungarian opponent in the first round with a lethal combination to the head and the body.

After winningÂ  English, British, and Commonwealth titles, Tyson Fury, with his rangy and unorthodox fighting style, reached the top of the heavyweight division in 2015 after defeating the 11-year unbeaten Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified world heavyweight champion. However following his win over Klitschko, he struggled with depression forcing him to take a hiatus of three years.

He came back in action in 2018, notching up easy wins against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta. In the same year, he also drew a fight for the first time against<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/deontay-wilder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Deontay Wilder</a>. However, his stupefying performance earned him a rematch. He won the WBC title after having bulldozed through Deontay Wilder in 2020. This saw him become a two-time world heavyweight champion.

Moreover, Fury added another spectacular victory to his resume by defeating Wilder in their highly anticipated trilogy fight in October 2021. After 10 rounds of war, 'The Gypsy King' finally put his rivalry with the 'Bronze Bomber' to rest via T/KO in the 11th round.

After beating Wilder, Fury demolished longtime WBC mandatory challenger <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dillian Whyte</a> on April 23, 2022. And in December, he defended his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora in a trilogy showdown.

'The Gypsy King' has amassed an astonishing record of 24 wins by T/KO in 34 professional fights.

Then came the mega clash between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. This highly anticipated bout came months after fans and followers learned of the Cameroonian-American mixed martial artist's departure from UFC.

In a shocking display, Tyson was barely able to defeat <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Ngannou</a> as the former was even made to taste the canvas by the MMA sensation. The crossover boxing bout made a huge dent in Fury's reputation, even though he secured a split-decision victory.

He is currently set to face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight fight.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Â </span><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Per <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/tyson-fury/?sh=4b6b3cd331d3">Forbes</a>, Fury earns a substantial amount through endorsements alone. One of his major sponsors has been <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/tyson-fury">Wow Hydrate</a>. However, Fury also has his line of <a href="https://tysonfuryofficialmerchandise.com/">merchandise</a> and energy drink called Furocity.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s Career Stats and Record</b></h2>
Tyson Fury is an undefeated heavyweight champion. His boxing record stands at 34-0-1. He has a knockout ratio of 70.59%.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Tyson Furyâ€™s charity and foundation</b></h2>
Philanthropy comes to Tyson Fury as naturally as a jab or a hook. He is well known to open up his heart and wallet to the less fortunate and in need. Following his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Fury claimed to have <a href="https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/491322/tyson-fury-news-gypsy-king-worth-deontay-wilder-purse-charity-rematch/">donated</a> his entire fight purse to charitable organizations in the UK. This was because he wanted to direct the finances toward the construction of homes for alcohol and drug addicts.

In another incident in 2022, after fight negotiations with Anthony Joshua collapsed, Furyâ€™s promoter Frank Warren had to pay up <span style="font-weight: 400">after losing a bet against the â€™Gypsy Kingâ€™. Fury was convinced that Joshua wouldnâ€™t sign the dotted line and ended up staking Â£10,000. Eventually, he ended up donating his winnings from the bet to a charity called DEBRA which looks after people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa - a painful genetic skin blister condition.</span>

Tyson Fury also has his <a href="https://mtkglobal.com/mtk-global/fury-announces-tyson-fury-foundation/">foundation</a> called the Tyson Fury Foundation.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s house</b></h2>
The WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has spent a fortune on buying properties spread across Europe as well as the United States. Starting with his home base, Morecambe, UK, Fury has a Â£1.7m property overlooking the seaside. The sprawling mansion, which features heavily in the Netflix documentaryÂ  <strong>At Home With The Furys,</strong> is decked up with gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters, and a grand piano. The property also boasts a water fountain and a mini-playground with the "Gypsy King" logo painted on the floor.

Reportedly, Tyson Fury moved into the mansion with his family from a five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home, estimated to be worth around Â£550,000, in 2021. This property also had lavish decorations which included gold curtains, and a gold-framed Versace mirror. Moreover, Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action, and a trophy cabinet adorned the walls of the beautiful home.

Another acquisition befitting Fury's luxury lifestyle is the white-cobbled mansion in Marbella estimated to be worth around $ 6 Million. According to the Mirror, the luxurious property has columns, large windows, and loads of palm trees.

Last but not least, is his stunning mansion in Las Vegas, which is used by the Fury family when the â€˜Gypsy Kingâ€™ comes to fight in the United States.Â  Reportedly, Fury allows his coach to live in that property rent-free.

The man whom everyone in the boxing circuit regards as the &#8216;Gypsy King&#8217; was born on the 12th of August in 1988. Tyson was born 3 months before schedule, coming in at a mere 1lb. His chances of survival were extremely low. However, he survived. His father named him after the legendary Mike Tyson. The Englishman followed in his American namesake and father&#8216;s footsteps into the boxing ring. Tyson Fury&#8217;s family and early life Tyson Fury&#8217;s father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children &#8211; Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth. Tyson Fury&#8217;s father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children &#8211; Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth. Through John Fury&#8217;s second marriage to Chantal, who has Mauritian ancestry, Tyson Fury is a half-brother to Tommy Fury, Roman Fury, a Cruiserweight contender, and John Fury Jr., reportedly an amateur boxer. &#8216;The Gypsy King&#8217; was born on 12th August 1988. He grew up in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, England. From an early age, he showed an aptitude for boxing. Hailing from an Irish traveling family, and a long bloodline of fighters, some would say Tyson choosing the &#8216;sweet science&#8217; as his profession was inevitable. He began boxing at the age of ten, thriving under the guidance of his father. With John Fury championing him, Tyson did quite well in his amateur career. He became the EU Junior Champion in May 2007 and ABA national champion in 2008, before turning professional at the age of 20. Tyson Furyâ€™s wife and children Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris Fury&#8217;s fairytale romance, began during their teenage years when he was seventeen and she was fifteen. Finally, in 2008, roughly a year after they started going out, the future Heavyweight champion and Paris walked down the aisle together at the Catholic church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, St. Peter in Chains. During the last fifteen years of togetherness, the couple have become proud parents of four boys and three girls. Their eldest child is 13-year-old Venezuela. She is followed by Prince John James, who is eleven. Born in July 2016, Prince Tyson II is the couple&#8217;s third child. 5-year-old Valencia, Tyson Fury&#8217;s second daughter, follows him. She would be turning six by December of this year. In 2019, The Gypsy King and Paris Fury welcomed their fifth child, their third son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, who is 4 years old. Two months before the Deontay Wilder trilogy fight, Tyson Fury introduced his sixth child and third daughter, Athena, to the world. The youngest member of the Fury family turned two in August this year. Last month, on September 18, Tyson and Paris Fury welcomed the birth of their seventh child, a baby boy. Early this month, the proud parents shared his name with the world &#8211; Prince Rico Paris Fury. Tyson Furyâ€™s net worth 2024 Money has never been at the top of Fury&#8217;s mind. However, no one in their right mind will turn incoming big bucks down. Fury&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be $65 million in 2023. Here are some of his noteworthy career earnings:  OpponentÂ  Total Purse  Derek Chisora 2 $12 Million  Wladimir Klitschko $7 Million  Deontay Wilder 1 $10 million  Deontay Wilder 2 $25 Million  Deontay Wilder 3 $27 Million  Derek Chisora 3 $25 Million  Francis Ngannou $50 Million  Furyâ€™s other sources of income include brand endorsements and investments in various business ventures. Tyson Furyâ€™s career timeline Fury made his professional debut in December 2008. He took on Bela Gyongyosi in his first outing as a professional. The preliminary card bout ended with Fury dropping his Hungarian opponent in the first round with a lethal combination to the head and the body. After winningÂ  English, British, and Commonwealth titles, Tyson Fury, with his rangy and unorthodox fighting style, reached the top of the heavyweight division in 2015 after defeating the 11-year unbeaten Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified world heavyweight champion. However following his win over Klitschko, he struggled with depression forcing him to take a hiatus of three years. He came back in action in 2018, notching up easy wins against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta. In the same year, he also drew a fight for the first time against Deontay Wilder. However, his stupefying performance earned him a rematch. He won the WBC title after having bulldozed through Deontay Wilder in 2020. This saw him become a two-time world heavyweight champion. Moreover, Fury added another spectacular victory to his resume by defeating Wilder in their highly anticipated trilogy fight in October 2021. After 10 rounds of war, &#8216;The Gypsy King&#8217; finally put his rivalry with the &#8216;Bronze Bomber&#8217; to rest via T/KO in the 11th round. After beating Wilder, Fury demolished longtime WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte on April 23, 2022. And in December, he defended his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora in a trilogy showdown. &#8216;The Gypsy King&#8217; has amassed an astonishing record of 24 wins by T/KO in 34 professional fights. Then came the mega clash between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. This highly anticipated bout came months after fans and followers learned of the Cameroonian-American mixed martial artist&#8217;s departure from UFC.

(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) In a shocking display, Tyson was barely able to defeat Francis Ngannou as the former was even made to taste the canvas by the MMA sensation. The crossover boxing bout made a huge dent in Fury&#8217;s reputation, even though he secured a split-decision victory. He is currently set to face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight fight.

His boxing record stands at 34-0-1. He has a knockout ratio of 70.59%. Â Tyson Furyâ€™s charity and foundation Philanthropy comes to Tyson Fury as naturally as a jab or a hook. He is well known to open up his heart and wallet to the less fortunate and in need. Following his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Fury claimed to have donated his entire fight purse to charitable organizations in the UK. This was because he wanted to direct the finances toward the construction of homes for alcohol and drug addicts. In another incident in 2022, after fight negotiations with Anthony Joshua collapsed, Furyâ€™s promoter Frank Warren had to pay up after losing a bet against the â€™Gypsy Kingâ€™. Fury was convinced that Joshua wouldnâ€™t sign the dotted line and ended up staking Â£10,000. Eventually, he ended up donating his winnings from the bet to a charity called DEBRA which looks after people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa &#8211; a painful genetic skin blister condition. Tyson Fury also has his foundation called the Tyson Fury Foundation. Tyson Furyâ€™s house The WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has spent a fortune on buying properties spread across Europe as well as the United States. Starting with his home base, Morecambe, UK, Fury has a Â£1.7m property overlooking the seaside. The sprawling mansion, which features heavily in the Netflix documentaryÂ  At Home With The Furys, is decked up with gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters, and a grand piano. The property also boasts a water fountain and a mini-playground with the &#8220;Gypsy King&#8221; logo painted on the floor. Reportedly, Tyson Fury moved into the mansion with his family from a five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home, estimated to be worth around Â£550,000, in 2021. This property also had lavish decorations which included gold curtains, and a gold-framed Versace mirror. Moreover, Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action, and a trophy cabinet adorned the walls of the beautiful home. Another acquisition befitting Fury&#8217;s luxury lifestyle is the white-cobbled mansion in Marbella estimated to be worth around $ 6 Million. According to the Mirror, the luxurious property has columns, large windows, and loads of palm trees. Last but not least, is his stunning mansion in Las Vegas, which is used by the Fury family when the â€˜Gypsy Kingâ€™ comes to fight in the United States.Â  Reportedly, Fury allows his coach to live in that property rent-free.
