TYSON FURY has revealed his newborn baby Athena is in a ‘stable’ condition – but remains in the intensive care unit.
The Gypsy King and wife Paris welcomed their sixth child into the world last Sunday but immediately saw her placed into the ICU.
Athena was in a stable condition on Monday but was put back into the ICU on Tuesday, although she’s seemingly now on track to leave the unit.
Fury wrote on his Instagram story: “Update for everyone. Baby Athena is well and has had a stable day off [the] ventilator.
“Thanks to everyone for the prayers, still in the ICU for now.
“Thanks to all the Drs and nurses. God bless you all.”
Fury, 33, announced the birth of his third daughter last Sunday, tweeting: “Please can everyone pray for my baby girl who was born this morning.
“Athena Fury was born 8/8/21. Thanks. God is great. Massive thanks for all the messages and support.
“The baby is in a stable position and doing well. Hopefully, she comes out of ICU today.
“Please keep baby Athena in your prayers. Paris is doing great. God bless.”
In light of his daughter’s stint in the ICU, WBC heavyweight champion Fury has set up a GoFundMe page for the Alder Hey Family House Trust in Liverpool.
In addition to the cash generated by the GoFundMe, Fury will auction off two signed WBC belts to raise further funds for the Trust.
At time of writing, Fury has raised an impressive £34,092.
The lineal heavyweight champion of the world took to Twitter on Monday to thank all those who have contributed to the fund.

He tweeted: “When the power of social media is utilised for good it’s beautiful to witness.
“We’ve raised over £27k in 5 hours @RMHCUK. Thank you all.
“Please continue to support this cause, raise awareness for an independent charity that depends on donations.”
Athena is the couple’s third daughter – following Venezuela, 11, and Valencia Amber, three.
Their boys are Prince John James, eight, Prince Tyson II, four, and one-year-old Prince Adonis Amaziah.
Fury is currently gearing up for a third fight with American foe Deontay Wilder.
The pair were due to renew their rivalry last month but had their trilogy fight rescheduled for October after Fury tested positive for Covid-19.
