 A thoughtful moment with John Fury ( Courtesy of Netflix) "Tyson has made millions of pounds, won every professional title he has to win. He has everything, lovely kids, everything in the world to go for.

Tyson Fury and his family are starring in a new Netflix show where the world heavyweight champion’s father, John, revels in the simplicity of life as a traveller and speaks with pride about his family
Gypsy King Tyson Fury lives like a king in his palatial, five-bed Morecambe palace.
It’s his dad, John, who revels in the simple traveller’s life. “It’s a beautiful day to be a gypsy, that’s what I say!”, he declares in the show. “I’m a travelling man. I was born in a caravan. Gimme me caravan, gimme me dog, gimme me family and let me get in the middle of that field where I belong.”
Which is where we meet him, sitting contentedly outside his ornately painted traditional horse-drawn caravan, a kettle on a brazier and his dog at his feet. Son Tommy’s fiancée Molly-Mae Hague, pregnant with baby Bambi during filming, has been learning traveller lingo to impress him.
“It’s a boxer’s life, it’s a boxer’s wife,” he tells her. Not a wife yet, she corrects him.
