      Who is Tyson Fury’s mum Amber?

      by

      IT’S FAIR to say that the Fury family have cemented themselves in boxing history.Tyson Fury has boxed in front of millions in stadiums and for those watching at home, but one person who has never watched one of his matches is his own mum, Amber.

      Who is Tyson Fury’s mum Amber?
      Amber Fury is mum to Heavyweight world champ Tyson Fury, whose father is John Fury.
      Unlike her famous family, she has remained completely out of the spotlight and there are no photos of her.
      Amber has also never been to watch one of son’s fights and, according to Fury, is not interested in his world heavyweight belts, with her only concern being he is “healthy and happy”.
      Fury told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all.

      “My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy. 
      “You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
      Fury also revealed in his memoir Behind The Mask, that his mum is not fully aware of his superstardom.
      And she was puzzled when so many fans asked for pictures during a shopping trip following his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder.
      Most read in Boxing
      Fury famously went on to beat Wilder in the 2020 rematch, before winning again in their 2021 trilogy battle.
      He wrote: “To be honest, my mum doesn’t fully understand what I have achieved as a boxer.
      “I took her out shopping one time after the Wilder fight and I was being stopped for photographs and autographs everywhere I went in Manchester and she couldn’t understand it.
      “She actually said, ‘Hey, son, how do you know so many people?’
      “I had to explain to her that I was the heavyweight champion of the world and a lot of people had watched me and supported me. That was actually very special.”
      How many children does Amber have?
      During her marriage to John Fury, Amber had four children.
      Along with Tyson – who was named after the boxing legend Mike Tyson – they had two more sons, Shane and Hugh.
      Their daughter, Ramona, tragically passed away months after birth.
      After they split, Amber’s ex-husband John went onto marry his second wife Chantal.
      Together they had two sons – which includes Love Island star and boxing champ Tommy Fury.
      Who is Tyson Fury’s father John?
      Born in Tuam, Galway, Ireland into a family of Irish Traveller heritage, John Fury is known by his nickname “Gypsy John” .

      He is a former professional boxer and bare-knuckle fighter, and patriarch of the Fury family.
      Fury Sr’s career spanned eight years – from 1987 until 1995 – and in total, he was involved in 13 bouts. More

      Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder to be finalised in next ‘three weeks’ as Eddie Hearn gives update on Saudi showdown

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’s long-awaited showdown with Deontay Wilder is set to be finalised in the next “three weeks”.Former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua began targeting a long-overdue grudge match with The Bronze Bomber before kicking off his career rebuild with a scrappy win over Jermaine Franklin in April.

      Talks over the lucrative Saudi showdown heated up before the Watford warrior’s brutal seventh-round KO of Robert Helenius earlier this month and have since continued.
      And AJ promoter Eddie Hearn expects them to come to a head imminently, telling Fight Hub TV when asked for a timeline: “Two or three weeks.”
      Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn added: “I’ve been to Saudi Arabia twice to negotiate this fight.
      “I’ve had two meetings, three meetings in London.

      “I’m not doing it for banter. My instructions from Anthony Joshua [are] ‘I want to fight Deontay Wilder.’
      “The only way this fight doesn’t happen is if Saudi doesn’t deliver the fight.
      “[Wilder manager] Shelly Finkel, Wilder, as far as I’m hearing from them directly, they are in. We are in.
      “We just need to sign a contract and go through the procedures to get that done.”

      Joshua and Wilder, 33 and 37 respectively, were on a collision course in 2018 when they held all the heavyweight titles but the mouthwatering fight didn’t come to fruition.
      Their long-overdue clash is currently being targeted for January, although Hearn admits AJ could be back in the ring in December should the fight fall through.
      Hearn said: “If it doesn’t happen, I think he’ll (Joshua) fight in December.
      “But I’m not spinning that fight. All of our efforts have been for that fight.

      Carl Froch slams ‘unprofessional’ Anthony Joshua for drinking Conor McGregor’s pint as it ‘could’ve been contaminated’

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been slammed for indulging in Conor McGregor’s Forged Stout after sending Robert Helenius into oblivion.The Watford warrior breathed new life into his career with a brutal seventh-round knockout of the Nordic Nightmare at the O2 last weekend.

      A jubilant McGregor was ringside for the fight and jumped in the squared circle moments after the KO to plough AJ with a cup of his fermented beer.
      Joshua, 33, took an uncomfortable sip of the dark stout as McGregor presented it to his lips – a decision former unified super-middleweight champion Carl Froch believes was stupid.
      The Cobra said on his Fighting with Froch podcast: “His nose was p***ing with blood, his mouth was all bleeding.
      “As we saw when he jumped out of the ring and had a slurp on that nasty Irish stout that Conor McGregor shoved in his face.

      “And all blood and snot and sweat went inside that pint.
      “How unprofessional’s that? AJ jumps out the ring, bit disrespectful as well – Helenius is receiving medical attention and he jumps out the ring.
      “Okay, fair play – go and see your dad, go and see your family.
      “You’ve just won a fight, you were a bit nervous and there’s a lot of pressure on you – okay, fine.

      “But don’t go over to Conor McGregor who’s trying to steal the show, making what’s probably a really expensive suit look really cheap because he just looks like a scruffy b****rd.
      “Standing around at ringside, shouting and talking b***cks, trying to be centre of attention, shoves that nasty Irish stout in AJ’s face.
      “He shouldn’t have drunk that stout because that stout could’ve been contaminated, you’ve gotta do a post-fight drugs test.
      “Very unprofessional from Anthony Joshua.”
      Froch believes AJ should’ve followed Brit rival Tyson Fury, who famously refused to drink bottles of water offered to him by strangers after his 2015 win over Wladimir Klitschko and his 2020 rematch with Deontay Wilder.
      Victory over Helenius was Joshua’s second successive triumph since his back-to-back defeats to former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
      He’s set to return to action early next year for a long-overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder. More

      Crawford became the undisputed champion in a second division last month by stopping Errol Spence Jr. in the ninth round of their bout.
      Now 40-0, the 35-year-old is looking to repeat the feat in a third division.
      In order to do so, he is open to fighting the winner of Canelo’s fight against Jermell Charlo on September 30.
      The pair are facing off in Las Vegas for Canelo’s super middleweight titles.
      READ MORE BOXING NEWS
      Charlo is set to be stripped of his super welterweight belts once the fight starts.
      With that in mind, Crawford is now open to jumping up to 168lbs to fight the winner.
      “So now I need to shift gears, because I know I wanted to fight Jermell, but if he loses to Canelo…” he told Joe Rogan.
      “I always said man, that’s a big step, but for a person to go up three weight classes from 147 to 168, and to win and become undisputed, wow.

      “What can they say? They can’t say nothing right now, but what can they say?
      “Three-time undisputed champion and the smaller fighter that went up three weight divisions to conquer one of the baddest men that’s been doing it for probably longer than me.”
      Bud has also backed himself for success at the higher weight class, adding: “I would definitely have to gain weight.
      “I just believe in my abilities. Canelo’s not a big guy, he’s five-eight. He’s muscular, but as far as height, nah. That wouldn’t be nothing that… We’d have to see.

      “I think it could happen. To be honest, I think that’s the biggest fight in boxing if he beats Charlo.
      “I’m ready now. People think it’s all about weight, but I think it’s skill. I’ve got the power to make anybody respect me, I don’t care what your weight is.”
      Despite Crawford teasing a mega fight against Canelo, Spence Jr. is keen on a rematch.
      He revealed after his loss to Crawford that he plans to activate his rematch clause in time for them to fight again in December.

      ‘He would get flattened’ – Boxing legend says Anthony Joshua would have stood no chance with heavyweights of the 90s

      Joshua moved to 26-3 by beating Robert Helenius via seventh round knockout last Saturday.
      His victory, the first by KO in three years, has set up a super-fight against Deontay Wilder, which is being eyed for January in Saudi Arabia.
      Although Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn believes he can “comfortably” outbox the American, Froch is less convinced by AJ’s abilities in the ring.
      “When you see how ‘AJ’ lost to Andy Ruiz and then the back to back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk,” he told talkSPORT.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I just think the way in which he lost those fights, would you put him in there with an Evander Holyfield? Or Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis?
      “I feel like the workmate and the ability to take punches was better back then. I don’t think that AJ belongs in that era of the 80s or 90s.
      “I don’t think you would be able to say that he belongs in that era, based on the losses. He’d be in there and letting shots go, but he’d be getting flattened.”
      Joshua’s win over Helenius came after the Finn had taken the bout on short notice.

      Original opponent Dillian Whyte was ruled out after failing a drugs test less than two weeks before the fight.
      Despite Froch’s comments, Wilder is open to facing Joshua according to his coach Malik Scott.
      The former WBC heavyweight champion has also fought Helenius, knocking him out in the first round last October.
      Joshua is confident ahead of the potential match-up, though, and has even broken down how he will beat Wilder.
