British professional boxer Tyson Fury celebrated for his sharp hooks and fierce uppercuts, dealt a decidedly different kind of knockout on Father’s Day, catching fans off guard with an unusually humorous jab. Instead of targeting an opponent in the ring, ‘The Gypsy King’s’ surprising blow landed squarely on a figure closest to him—his father, John Fury.
The two share more than a surname and a love for boxing, and Tyson decided to commemorate their unique bond with an unexpected post on Instagram. Without revealing the exact contents of the post yet, we can tell you it features an amusing comparison, an unforgettable nickname, and a large dose of the Fury family humor.

In his Instagram Story, Tyson captured a heartwarming moment with his father and wrote, “Happy father’s day papa, although we look like brothers😂.” The comment, layered with Tyson’s characteristic humor, emphasizes their striking resemblance, which extends beyond their shared profession in boxing. But Tyson wasn’t done amusing his fans yet.
Following the initial message, the boxing heavyweight champion added a hilariously candid remark that further underscored the family resemblance. Tyson penned, “Proper bald tossers 👩🦲 haha.” This statement was a cheeky nod to their shared baldness. The term “bald tossers,” a playful expression in British slang, revealed a glimpse into their unique father-son camaraderie and emphasized the importance of not taking oneself too seriously, even when you’re a world-renowned boxer.
