TYSON Fury is a world-famous boxing legend, but behind the scenes (and on TV) he’s also a devoted dad.
He’ll have the backing of his whole brood when he steps into the ring seeking revenge over unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury and Paris have seven children, all of whom became popular with fans on hit Netflix show At Home with the Furys.
All of Tyson’s sons share the same fancy first name — Prince.
When asked why he had named all his sons after royalty, the Gypsy King said: “I’m a king and they’re princes until they earn their rightful name.”
Venezuela Lynda Fury
The eldest of the Fury children, Venezuela, was born in September 2009.
Her name is inspired by the South American country, aligning with the couple’s preference for distinctive names.
Tyson has mentioned that they wanted to avoid “normal” names for their daughters.
In 2022, he told OK!: “My wife is called Paris. I’m Tyson and [gesturing to his son] he’s called Prince John James. If the girl had a normal name it wouldn’t fit in, would it?”
Prince John James Fury
Next in line came Prince John James, who was born in 2011.
The Furys’ first son started the family tradition of naming all their sons “Prince”.
John and James are classic English names with biblical origins, providing a traditional touch.
In keeping with the royal theme, there have been UK monarchs with both names.
Prince Tyson II Fury
In 2016, Prince Tyson II was born.
He was named after his father and is often referred to as “Tutty”.
The reason behind this sweet nickname was explained in episode two of At Home with the Furys.
Paris said: “Baby Tyson gets the nickname Tutty because when baby Tyson was little, it seemed so crazy to keep calling this tiny little baby Tyson, obviously, looking at his dad.
“So we somehow came to the name of Tutty and it just seemed to stick.”
Valencia Amber Fury
This geographical theme for the daughters continued with Valencia, who the couple welcomed on December 4, 2017.

He later added: “My new angel Valencia Amber, The lord has blessed me yet again.”
Prince Adonis Amaziah Fury
Prince Adonis Amaziah was born in 2019.
His name is rich in mythological and biblical significance.
Adonis refers to a figure from Greek mythology symbolising beauty and desire.
Amaziah has Hebrew origins and means “God strengthens”.
Like his brothers, he goes by his middle name, Adonis, which adds an element of individuality within the shared first name.
The Fury girls’ names have a geographical theme[/caption]Athena Amour Fury
Their second youngest daughter Athena was born on August 8, 2021, and faced a tough start in the intensive care unit.
Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, Athena’s name aligns with the family’s theme of strong female figures and mythological references.
Her name also connects to Athens, further reinforcing the place-name motif seen with her sisters.
Prince Rico Paris Fury
On March 23, 2023, the couple announced that they were pregnant with their seventh child.
Tyson shared a photo of him and his wife on his Instagram Stories announcing their big news.
“I get to date night with my beautiful pregnant wife @ParisFury1. God is great,” he captioned the photo. “What a woman . 7th incoming . Fantastic news to cheer me up! .”
The couple welcomed their latest baby boy on September 18, 2023, and named him Prince Rico Paris Fury.

His name holds particular significance as it honours Tyson’s late cousin Rico Burton, who was tragically murdered in 2022.
Paris explained that including her name as part of Rico’s full name was important to her since she had not had a child named after her.
She told OK!: “All of my kids have got unusual names and obviously it’s also really personal to Tyson.
“We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and I still haven’t had one named after me, so Tyson thought, ‘Come on, it’s about time!’”
When did Paris and Tyson Fury get married?
Paris and Tyson met when he was 17 and she was 15, before they began dating a year later.
They were in a relationship for two years before tying the knot in 2008 at St Peter in Chains Catholic Church, Doncaster.
The childhood sweethearts have been together ever since, raising their children in Morecombe, Lancashire.
Despite the super-yacht and millions of pounds, the Gypsy King has said he wants a normal life, taking out the bins.
