The Furys have a compelling case to be considered the most prolific fighting family.

When Tyson Fury made his professional debut in 2008 as a lanky 20-year-old, we knew him as the son of former professional boxer John Fury, but the family’s connection to boxing goes much deeper.

Over the years, Tyson’s siblings and cousins ​​launched their own careers. Who are the Fury family members involved in boxing and what have they achieved?

Tyson Fury

Tyson, who was named after former world champion Mike Tyson, brilliantly defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 on points and won three world titles, but never defended his WBA, IBF and WBO belts, retiring due to problems with alcohol, drugs and depression.

In 2018, Tyson returned to the sport and fought an epic fight with Deontay Wilder, then stopped him in the 7th round of the rematch to become the WBC champion in 2020. After three defenses, Tyson lost the belt in an undisputed fight on points with Oleksandr Usyk and has not fought since losing a rematch with the Ukrainian in December 2024, also on points. He is currently training for his next comeback.

After two victories against Wilder and a points victory over Wladimir Klitschko, Fury will drop into the heavyweight leader position along with Anthony Joshua of the last decade, behind Usyk.

John Fury

Tyson’s dad, known as “Gypsy John,” boxed professionally in the 1980s and 1990s with a record of 8-4-1. John spent part of Tyson’s early career in prison after he was found guilty of gouging out another man’s eye in a street fight, but was released in time to watch his son become world champion in 2015. He had been around his son during fights, though not recently.

Andy Lee

Tyson’s most successful relative, a retired world champion who was in his corner during his last fights. Lee (35-3-1, 24 KO), from Limerick, Ireland, was a classy boxer who once defended his world middleweight title. He lived in America, where he was trained by Manny Steward, and in London as a professional boxer, retiring in 2017.

He trained alongside Fury’s rival and future opponent Wladimir Klitschko at training camps with Steward in Austria.

“Tyson is my second cousin because our grandmothers were sisters,” Lee told ESPN in 2014 before winning the WBO middleweight world title.

Lee is not only a respected trainer, but also a boxing expert on television.

Hughie Fury

Hughie (31-3, 18 KO), 31, made his professional debut in 2013 and boxed under the same rules as cousin Tyson at a time when they were promising to break the dominance of Ukrainian brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, who held all four world titles between them.

While Tyson became a two-time world champion, Hughie never won a world title. In 2017, Joseph Parker defeated Hughie by majority decision to retain the WBO heavyweight title in Manchester.

Hughie trained alongside Tyson until 2016, when they were both accused of testing positive for a banned substance. Tyson then retired from the sport before returning in 2018 and the pair have not trained together since.

Hughie was British champion in 2018 and despite eight consecutive wins since 2019, he is still outside the top 15 in the world.

Piotr Fury

Hughie’s father, Peter, trained Tyson early in his career until his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Germany in 2015.

He had only one fight as a professional (losing in 1988) before serving time in prison for drug-related offenses. As Tyson’s coach, he played a key role in the victory over Klitschko. Peter is a respected trainer who has worked with, among others, with former women’s world champion Savannah Marshall and his son Hughie.

Tommy Fury

Tyson’s half-brother, Tommy (11-0, 4 KO), 26, is the most eminent of his siblings and cousins.

Tommy rose to fame on the reality show Love Island and won the hearts of social media stars Jake Paul and KSI, but he is far from competing for the world title.

Tommy insists he is a solemn professional boxer who now works at cruiserweight after moving up from lightweight heavyweight. He recorded a sixth-round points victory in May, and since defeating Paul by split decision, he has fought only twice in three years.

---

Roman Fury

Roman (6-0, 3 KO) from Salford is Tyson’s half-brother and Tommy’s full brother.

In early January, Roman defeated Kevin Greenwood in the fourth round of a heavyweight fight. He turned professional in 2022, having no amateur experience. Like Tommy, he has a lot of catching up to do to fight for vital titles.

Phill Fury

Tyson’s cousin was a welterweight who last boxed in 2012, finishing with a 13-3 (2 KO) record. He never fought for a significant title.

---

Nathan Gorman

Heavyweight Gorman (19-3, 13 KO), Tyson’s second cousin, worked in the Manchester area with Ricky Hatton, a former world junior welterweight and welterweight champion. He is also the great-nephew of Bartley Gorman, the feared bare-knuckle brawler.

“I never saw much of Tyson growing up, but I knew him and I knew he trained at Ricky Hatton’s gym,” Gorman told ESPN in 2019.

“We got to know each other a little better there, and what he was doing in training showed me why, in my eyes, he is the best heavyweight in the world.”

Gorman hasn’t fought in two years. He was stopped by Fabio Wardley (now WBO world champion) in three rounds in November 2011 and a five-round knockout by Daniel Dubois in 2019, both in British title fights.

---

Hosea Burton

Tyson’s cousin who grew up in the same campground as him as a child. Hosea (28-4, 12 KO), 37, from Manchester, was a skillful boxer who won the British lightweight heavyweight title in 2016 but has not boxed since May 2023.

James Dean Fury

Amateur boxer (10-1), 20, from Manchester, is Tyson’s cousin and boxes at a good level as a super middleweight.

---

Walter Fury

The Lancaster-based junior middleweight (3-1) and cousin of Tyson, 28, lost his first professional fight in July to journeyman Kristaps Zulgis and has not fought since.

---

Bartley Gorman

Tyson claims one of his ancestors was the undefeated bare-knuckle fighting champion known as the “Gypsy King,” who died in 2002. He was undefeated for 20 years until 1992.

Since then, legendary stories about Gorman have emerged. “Bartley even sparred with the legend Muhammad Ali,” his great-nephew Nathan Gorman told the BBC. – How crazy is that?

---

Uriah Burton

Tyson’s uncle was a eminent bare-knuckle fighter. Tyson’s mom, Amber Burton, is Uriah’s niece.

“They said he was an ogre. He had the strength of five men,” wrote Bartley Gorman in his book Bareknuckle Memoirs of the Undefeated Champion.

“He defeated two opponents at once. He stopped at nothing and fought to the death. He sounded like something from the Middle Ages, more myth than man. It was only when I met him that I realized these stories were true.”

Tyson said of Burton to the Irish Times in 2013: “He predicted my future a year before I was born.

“I fight royalty. Uriah is on my father’s side and Bartley Gorman, the other undefeated champion, is on my mother’s side. I have gypsy kings on both sides of the family.”
