At Home with the Furys

I'm Tyson Fury.

Unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world.

For the last 14 years,

boxing is the only thing that's given me purpose.

But the time's come for me to retire.

What that looks like, I have no idea.

Oh, come on, not again.

Excuse me, have you got a carrier bag?

He does more shitting than a newborn baby. Come on, shitter.

I've gone from topping the bill at Wembley, 94,000,

to picking up dog shit on a run.

So I'm back in my hometown of Morecambe Bay.

- -To start a new life without boxing.

I need to buy a private jet.

- Tyson! - There'll be ups...

Get up there!

...and there'll be downs.

I'd rather get punched the fuck out of me

than stay at home for a week and do these jobs, it's hard work.

Tyson has got ADHD, bipolar, depression.

When he last stopped boxing, we had a bad two or three years of our lives.

I've had a lot of dark moments thinking, "You're gonna end up

in a padded room and you've lost your mind."

See? I've still got it. Bang, bang, bang, bang.

But with the Fury family by my side, I can do anything.

There's my amazing wife, Paris.

Why're you married to a fat man, Paris?

'Cause he's rich.

My dad, John.

Easy, lad.

My brother, Tommy, and his girlfriend, Molly-Mae.

I'm going to be right there and I'm going to cut the placenta?

No, you're not, you're gonna cut the umbilical cord.

- And my six adorable kids. -

Strict parents raise sneaky kids.

Valencia, don't do that!

Say "smile."

Welcome to the family.

Three, two, one...

-Cheese! -

Come on, then, Adonis, time for school.

Come on, Adonis, get up.

- You getting up? -Come on, me girl.

This is what you get. He ain't getting up.

Come on. We'll get the other two up. I'll come back in and get him up. Prince.

Tyson.

Valencia. Are we all getting up now for school?

Get up, boys.

Morning in the Fury household, very, very hectic on a day-to-day basis.

Get up. We're gonna be late for school.

Six children running wild, one who's becoming a teenager.

Venezuela, are you in there?

Just doing me hair now, two minutes.

All right. Come on.

The other four are like babies. They are all young and very hard work.

-Are you getting up, Adonis? -No.

Adonis, let's go. We're gonna be late. Quick.

No!

I'll take you for some sweets.

No!

What's it like living in a busy household?

Uh, fantastic. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Three girls, three boys. All fucking crazy.

Just like me. Even the dog.

Prince, what you having for breakfast?

-A yogurt? -Yep.

Not good enough. You'll have toast with peanut butter and jam on it.

-I don't want toast! -Toast with chocolate spread.

-So what do you want then? -I'm not hungry.

It's great that Tyson's retired,

but it'll be hard for Tyson to adjust to be at home all the time.

-Do you want Nutella? - No!

I want peanut butter.

Peanut butter?

Um, where's the peanut butter?

I think he'll struggle to just be the normal person. The normal dad.

Prince, want a slice of toast with peanut butter?

No, I don't want toast. I've told ya.

There you go.

Served right up.

To be at home constantly, I think it'll drive him up the wall.

Tys, you're gonna be late. Get gone.

Come on, Tutty. Prince, whatever your name is, Tyson.

-Get in the middle, Tut. Put your belt on. - Mama.

You ready? Gonna have a good day at school today?

Wait a minute while I get a PE kit.

-We're gonna be late, so hurry up. -I know, wait a minute.

Can I have a good morning kiss from you? Can I have a snuggle?

Where's Adonis gone?

Next time, don't leave your backpack.

You have to look after your own stuff.

-Get told every night to put your bag in. -Green one?

-Right, go and get Adonis. -Where is he?

Don't know.

- Adonis! -

-All good? That's good. -She's given me swimming shorts.

-For a PE day. -That's pretty good, to be fair.

-I'm gonna get rubbed to fuck. -

-You'll be all right. -No, I will not!

-You ever run in swimming shorts? -Plenty of times.

-Does it rub? -Not really.

-Do you get a rash? -No.

Liar.

-Adonis. -What?

-Are you ready for nursery? -Yeah.

I'm not going to school!

You like school, school's good.

No, I don't!

You gonna have a good day at school?

-Probably not. -Why?

Because mam's packed me fucking swimming shorts for PE.

So, I do physical exercise every single day.

-Yeah, I know. -Mostly in me pants.

Yeah, I know. I don't want to wear that.

-Right, wear your pants then, be like me. -No.

God.

All right, I'll take you to Jump Rush after school, okay?

- No! -No? Whose is this lunch bag?

See you later, guys. Go straight in.

Fucking swimming shorts!

This is beautiful, this is. Look at that.

Go anywhere in the world, you're not getting this view.

Don't care where you go.

-Didn't you drive here in the truck once? -Yeah, I drove down there and got stuck.

Do you think we will be able to keep doing this regularly like?

-Of course. -We spend all this time together now.

-Without killing one another? -Yeah.

-We're all right. We're over that. -I'm not sure.

Ain't it nice to have time together?

'Cause normally you're in strict training or you're in a training camp.

Got the belts, I'm undefeated, all the money, all the fame,

all the good looks and still got me brains intact.

Nothing else to prove.

-Would you like me to fight again? -I don't want you to fight no more.

I think you've done all the fighting you need to do.

Now's the time to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

You know what? I think you'll get bored.

I think you might get bored not doing nothing.

Well, there's always plenty of stuff to do.

When Tyson said he was retired I was over the moon,

but I think the things I worry about is Tyson's mental health dips dramatically

when he doesn't have a routine or a schedule.

I'm happy with what I'm doing.

Buzzing around Morecambe.

Minding me own business.

Doing what I've gotta do in life and that's it.

Go to the coffee shop, do a run, go to the gym.

Walk the dog, pick the kids up, drop 'em off, do some tip runs.

Go on holiday. Come back and do the same thing

for the next, hopefully, 25, 30 year.

-You're only gonna live till you're 50? -Or whatever. However long I live.

Now it's time to just sit back and pop me slippers on.

Enjoy what I've done, enjoy the spoils of war.

Yeah, but I just hope you do.

I hope you actually sit happy and healthy.

Not go off the rails and start thinking daftness.

I can honestly sit here and say today, I do not want to fight anymore.

But after doing something all my life and only having that one focus and drive,

to not do that, that's...

It's kind of scary.

When he last stopped boxing, Tyson had an alcohol addiction.

He had a drug addiction.

He suffers from a few different mental health problems.

Um, he's got ADHD, bipolar, depression,

and it all spiraled out of control completely

and we had a really bad two or three years of our life.

Go get it. Go get it.

So there's no point in sitting here and saying, "Oh, that won't happen again,"

when that is always a worry,

like a little elephant in the room that I think about.

I don't know. We'll see, only time will tell the story, won't it?

There was a moment in 2017 where I thought I had the antidote to the depression,

and the anxiety was getting drunk before bed,

and it turns out that it's only a release, the drugs and the alcohol,

for a small amount of time.

It's not a long-term fix,

it's a short-term break from the problem.

-Go get the ball. -He forgot all about the ball.

He's just gonna dirty all my jeans. Good boy. He's gonna piss on me!

Right, go and get his ball.

Do you think I'm highly trained?

Come on, Henry, your turn to get up as well.

We're all up together, all us three up together.

Beautiful day for being a Gypsy. That's what I say.

Oh...

I'm a travelling man 'cause I was born in a caravan.

Give me me caravan. Give me me dog.

Give me me family, and let me get in the middle of that field where I belong.

Me son's the greatest boxer that ever lived, and I'm a proud dad.

He's proved he's the best of his era.

And at the end of the day, everybody knows the name Tyson Fury.

He's a legacy. He'll go down in history.

It'll be a long time before one comes along again like Tyson.

He's unbeaten, he's fought the best in the world,

most dangerous men in the world, but he said to me, "I'm retiring."

I thought, "Yes. That'll do for me. I'm happy."

"Health is your wealth."

And I say straight, "Leave it." He's made millions of pounds.

He's won every professional title he has to win. He's got everything.

Lovely kids, everything in the world to go for.
