Tyson Fury- The Champion’s kids
Tyson Fury is married to a woman named Paris, with the couple tying the knot in 2008. They knew each other for a long time and are now parents to five children.
Fury’s family is based in Lancashire, UK and the world champion is a father to two daughters and three sons. The elder daughter Venezuela is 10 years-old and Valencia Aber is just two.
Meanwhile, Fury’s sons have been given similar names. The eldest son Prince Jon James is eight-years-old, Prine Tyson Fury 2 is three-years-old and Prince Adonis Amaziah is just a year old.
In his IFL TV documentary, Fury revealed the reason for giving the same name to his three sons. The WBC champion calls himself the king; hence, his sons should be called Prince until they rightfully make a name of their own.

He added, “My wife is called Paris. I’m Tyson and [gesturing to his son] he’s called Prince John James. If the girl had a normal name it wouldn’t fit in, would it? I wanted to call the boy Patrick, but the wife didn’t want it.”
Fury has a great sense of humour and its evident with his selection of names. It is no surprise why he is one of the most entertaining superstars in the sport today.
