When Fury Takes Over

<p><b>'My dad is a Man amongst men' - Tyson Fury<br><br>This is the Gypsy Warrior, Big John Fury, standing his corner, totally unfiltered and in his own words.</b><br><br><i> I&rsquo;ll have a fight with anybody. Win, lose or draw. I&rsquo;m out there, shirt off, done and dusted. If you&rsquo;ve got Fury DNA, you&rsquo;re not shy of a fight.</i><br><br>Born into a family of Irish traveller heritage, Big John Fury descends from a long line of bare-knuckle fighters, including King of the Gypsies, so it&rsquo;s no surprise that he too found himself fighting outside the ring at a young age. From his early years in Manchester, John learned to box by practising bare-knuckle fighting within the travelling community before graduating into the sport professionally. The ring has never been far from his sights, and John has played a crucial role in being a coach and cornerman for his two-time British heavyweight champion son, Tyson Fury.<br><br><i>When Fury Takes Over </i>is the real story behind the legend, from memories of growing up as a traveller to stories of boxing for a Sherpa van, via life lessons from his time in prison and finding balance as a fighter and a family man.</p>
