 Tyson Fury has shared a devastating moment in his new Netflix docu-series, revealing that he found out about his cousin's murder in a shock phone call. Last year, Rico Burton was stabbed in the neck after a fight broke out outside a bar in Altrincham, Cheshire. In July this year, a man was found guilty of the murder, before being handed a life sentence earlier this month. He was told that he must serve a minimum of 28 years before parole. In a victim impact statement read in court, Rico's mother Deborah Burton described her son as her 'Golden Boy', stating: 'Throughout the whole Traveller community Rico will never be forgotten. 'On the day he died, a piece of me died inside. I have had my heart ripped out and cut into pieces.' During an episode of At Home With The Furys, Tyson, 35, and his wife Paris Fury, 33, were in Mallorca, Spain having a brilliant time following his retirement when one morning, the boxer received a devastating call. Tyson and his cousin Rico trained at the same boxing club when they were younger (Picture: Courtesy of Netflix) 'This morning, I was in bed and I got a phone call telling me that my cousin Rico has been killed,' he said. 'It was just like someone had took the plug out of me and all my life had come out of me. Rico had a whole lot of life to live, and now it's finished. Shocking news. Shocking.' Tyson explained how close he and his first cousin Rico had been when they were kids, having trained at the same boxing club and done activities like playing hide and seek and building dens, while Paris had known him since she was a teenager. Paris outlined how her husband 'doesn't handle death very well' and so handles it in his own way, which in this case involved him 'locking himself in his room' and not speaking to anyone else. However, he had an event later that day, which 1,500 people had paid tickets to attend, and){kind=link}
