John Fury's Exclusive Book Tells All
John Tyson, father of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has revealed the incredible story of his son's life in his new book, When Fury Takes Over. In exclusive extracts, John recounts the challenges and triumphs that shaped Tyson's journey to becoming a boxing legend.
A Warrior is Born
John vividly remembers the night his son Tyson was born. Born prematurely at just 1lb, doctors believed he wouldn't survive. But John saw something different - a little warrior ready to take on the world. Against all odds, John declared that Tyson would not only survive, but would grow to be a 7ft tall, 20st heavyweight champion. And he was right.
An Unbreakable Bond
As Tyson grew up, there were challenges along the way. He suffered from overheating and terrifying hallucinations. But John was always there to support his son. Even when he accidentally broke Tyson's leg, John was devastated. But he stayed by Tyson's side, helping him heal and providing the love and care he needed.
From Delusions to Discipline
Tyson's childhood wasn't always smooth sailing, but he learned self-control and discipline at an early age. Despite John's initial hesitation, Tyson's determination to pursue boxing led him to an amateur gym in Wythenshawe. And from there, his journey to breaking records began.
A Supernatural Encounter
John's faith and spirituality have played a significant role in his life. While serving an 11-year sentence, John experienced a powerful encounter with Jesus that brought him solace and hope. And when Tyson's son fell ill with meningitis, John's faith once again proved to be a guiding light. A supernatural visit from Jesus reassured John that everything would be alright - and it was.
John Fury's book offers a captivating look into the life of a boxing legend and the extraordinary journey that led him to become a world champion. From a miraculous birth to overcoming challenges, Tyson Fury's story is one of resilience, determination, and the unwavering support of a loving father.
