Tyson Fury’s boxing career is well documented from his rookie years to stardom. The undefeated boxer is 34-0-1 and will be fighting former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28, 2023. Recently, Netflix released a docu-series called, At Home With the Furys, which takes a deep dive into his personal life.
The series featured ‘The Gypsy King’ along with his wife, children, brothers and father. However, his mother is nowhere to be seen in the series. This brings the question of whether Tyson’s parents are together or divorced.
Tyson Fury (born August 12, 1988) is the son of John Fury and Amber Fury. John Fury is a former bare-knuckle fighter and professional boxer with a record of 8-4-1. John has always been in the limelight during the build-up to Tyson and Tommy Fury’s boxing matches.
On the other hand, Amber Fury likes to keep her life private. However John and Amber are not together since the pair is separated following the death of their daughter Ramona Fury in 1997, just a few days after she was born. Furthermore, around 1989 John and Amber had a rocky patch in their relationship and he met Chantal Fury.

“Following one particularly ugly argument, she (Amber) went to live with her parents to give us both some space,” said John. During this time he started to date Tommy Fury‘s mom, Chantal. According to John Fury, Chantal became pregnant in a very early phase of their relationship and they are still married to this date.
Where are Tyson Fury’s parents from?
Both of Tyson Fury’s parents John and Amber are originally based out of Ireland. John Fury is from Tuam, Galway in Ireland while Amber Fury is from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Furthermore, both of them come from a lineage of Irish Travellers. John moved to England at the age of 4 as his father was unable to find work in Ireland.

John Fury was a Catholic Christian while Amber was a Protestant Christian. However, neither of them followed their religion very actively. Tyson was introduced to Christianity by his uncle, who was a preacher in the Irish Traveller community.
Who is Tyson Fury’s mother?
Amber Fury is the first wife of John Fury and the mother of Tyson Fury. According to Tyson, she likes to stay out of the limelight. “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all,” said ‘The Gypsy King’.
Tyson and Amber share a very good bond with each other and all she wants is for her son to be happy and healthy. Furthermore, she is not at all aware of the boxing achievements of her son. “I was being stopped for autographs and photographs everywhere I went in Manchester and she couldn’t understand it,” said Fury.
Tyson Fury said that he had to explain to his mother that he’s a boxing champion and a lot of people support him. According to Fury, it was a very special moment for him and his mother.
During her marriage with John Fury, she had fourteen pregnancies out of which only four of their children survived. This must have taken a huge toll on her mental state and could be one of the reasons for keeping her life private.
