Tyson Fury reveals eldest son Prince John James, 13, has ‘joined the family business’
TYSON FURY revealed his eldest son John James has “joined the family business”.
The Gypsy King is not the only boxer in the family, his dad John and uncle Peter are both former fighters-turned-trainers.
His brothers Tommy and Roman are also unbeaten while cousin James Dean is set to turn professional after a successful amateur career.
And now there could be yet another Fury to look out for – Tyson’s 13-year-old son John James.
Fury posted a video on his Instagram, talking to his boy, and he says: “Today’s the day you become part of the family business, son.”
John James replied: “What kind of business is that?”
And his famous fighting father-of-seven responded: “The f***ing fight game.”
Fury revealed in 2023 how John James and his younger brother John James, eight, were both training.
He said at the time: “Yes, I’ve got my oldest son who’s 11 and my middle son who’s six – they both are in the boxing gym right now.
“They’re in training, they’re starting, only young, kids having fun in the gym and all that.

“If they want to pursue it as a career later on in life then I’m fully supportive.
“Because who am I to tell somebody not to do something, not to follow their dreams?
“I don’t believe in crushing kids’ dreams because I was once a kid with a massive dream.
“I had an unreachable dream and everybody told me that it was a stupid idea, you’re probably not gonna make it, you’re gonna waste your life, you’re gonna have nothing at the end of it.
“I didn’t believe any of them and I followed my dreams, followed my heart and here I am today. I’m living proof that dreams do come true.
“With hard work, dedication, being in the right place at the right time, the right mindset, and a lot of other stuff as well, dreams do come true for sure.”
Fury, 36, has plenty of time to train his boys after announcing his retirement in January.
It came after he twice lost on points to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, in 2024.
And despite training twice, sometimes THREE times a day, Fury spoke out to reiterate his retirement amid talk of returning to fight Anthony Joshua, 35.
He said while on holiday with wife Paris in Italy: “I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what?
“What would I return for? More belts? I’ve won 22 of them. I’ve been rumped, that’s it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me.
“But I’m happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished.
“I’ve been around the world and back again. And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby.”
