Paris Fury, a champion nephew and heavyweight who smashed Muhammad Ali, has her own fighting family.

TYSON FURY is a fighting family, but his wife Paris is well-connected in the noble arts too.

He is one of NINE WBC heavyweight champions, and his ancestors were all fighters.

Tyson Fury comes from a long lineage of fighters - but Paris has some good boxers as well.

Paris, Tyson's wife, was by his side all the way to the top of the sport. She also has some skilled fighters.

Levi Frankham is her nephew, and his cousins, Josh and Charlie, are boxers with the same surname.

Charlie's great-grandfather Johnny was even a boxer for the legendary Muhammad Ali, when he had exhibition fights in the UK following his ban from boxing.

Now 73 years old, Ali is sensationally FLOORED - something that inspired his son to take up the sport.

SunSport shows you how Paris' extended families are trading leather.

JOHNNY FRANKHAM

Muhammad Ali is a boxer who shared a fight with any other boxer.

Charlie Frankham's grandfather 'Gypsy,' Johnny Frankham decked The Greatest on October 19, 1971, seven years after Joe Frazier's Fight of the Century defeat to Joe Frazier.

Although the exhibition bout between the Reading-based light-heavyweight and the Louisville Lip lasted eight rounds, the photograph of Ali standing over Ali will be cherished for a lifetime.

Johnny fought 40 professional bouts, winning 28 and losing 11. He also lost 11 and drawing one. In 1976, he retired.
