BEFORE Tyson Fury became the biggest sports star in the world and ruled the heavyweight division, he was just another child from posh Cheshire.
Although the Gypsy King has always spoken fondly about his traveller roots and was a proud man, he actually had a well-off upbringing in Wilmslow, Styal, and other parts of the 'Golden Triangle,' which includes Alderley Edge.
He began his education at Styal Primary School. It scores as a 'Good' according to Ofsted's rigorous report. Prince Charles once visited the school.
Tyson, 33 years old, was born with the fighting spirit that made him the champion of the people.
John Fury, his father, revealed that his son was born three months prematurely and weighed only 1 Ib. Doctors believed he would not survive.
Tyson, however, grew to 6ft 14 inches by 14, earning him the nickname "Little John", among his friends.
He worked as a cleaner at his father's auto dealership when he was between 10 and 16.
HOME LIFE
Fury, unlike his family was raised in a house and not in a caravan. Fury's father actually built the house with only his hands.
Tyson said that he and his family grew up in the posh Styal, Wilmslow, Cheshire area.
"My dad gave us a nice place to live. As a child, I was extremely fortunate.
"We weren’t there with all the tourists on the sites. Our family and our cousins were the only ones we knew of other travellers." 
John Fury was a professional and amateur bareknuckle fighter from the late 80s through the mid 90s.
Although Heboasted an impressive 13-fight record, he suffered a devastating loss to Henry Akinwande, the future WBO champion. This made him reconsider his boxing career.
He once said, "I was exploited in boxing by being overmatched for very little or no money."
SICKLY KID
Tyson was three months premature and Tyson's life was in jeopardy when he was born at Wythenshawe Hospital.
Although doctors thought he was too weak for survival, dad John believed that his son would survive.
He said, "I told them God was looking up on him,"
"I told him, "He'll be alright." He will be 7ft 20 stone and heavyweight champion in the world. I named him Tyson after Mike Tyson.
John was able to fit his son comfortably in his palm. He sat with Tyson in the hospital, working on his legs and arms.
He told BBC Sport that he remembered him lying on his stomach and with his fists high.
"When I look back at where he's been and where it has taken him, amazing things have occurred."
Tyson was afflicted with fevers in his early years and believed he was seeing things.
John remembered that John used to experience hallucinations, and believed there were monsters living in the house. The curtains were also burning.
"When he was six, he seemed to be in a straight line."
AN EDUCATION
Tyson was enrolled in 1993 at the charming Styal Primary school.
"I went to school with 47 children. Fury stated that it was a very posh school. Prince Charles visited us.
"There was never any racial prejudice, abuse or anything."
According to his teachers, Fury was an outstanding student.
Helen Smith, Head Teacher at Knutsford Guardian, stated that he is positive and has had a positive mental outlook all his life.
Sally Hunt, the school's business manager, said that Tyson was a very special character when she was young.
"He was a large lad, and he excelled at football, which is something the school encourages. His mother was very supportive of the school.
"He was with us since the age of five and was still with us until the age 11; he was always a popular boy among other pupils."
HIS FIRST JOB
Tyson learned the value of discipline by working on his father's car lot. He was also rewarded with hard work and money.
Tyson said to The Guardian that his first job was working as a mechanic for my father. His father was a used car dealer. I used to wash and clean the cars.
"I would do things for him almost every day. It was quite a rewarding job, to be fair.
It was great because it taught me discipline. I know how I can work for money, and how to appreciate it once I have it.
"It kept me out trouble, kept me off the streets and prevented me from drinking and other bad habits.
"When I was 14-15, a lot of my friends were upbeat and wanted to go out on Friday nights. My dad made sure that I worked late on Fridays, Saturday mornings, and Sunday mornings.
"And after I was done, we used the rest of our time to talk about boxing."
Fury will face Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, April 23, his first fight in the UK since 2018, when he was defeated by Francesco Pianeta in Belfast.
The undercard features a number of other exciting boxers, including Tommy, who will face Daniel Bocianski. This is Tommy's first fight since Jake Paul's bout with Jake Paul was canceled at the last moment.
