Fury’s kids get third degree

BRAINS NOT BRAWN

TYSON FURY won’t let his kids follow him into boxing – because he wants them to graduate from university.

The ‘Gypsy King’ faces Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand Garden Arena this weekend.

It is the next step towards becoming world heavyweight champion again as he eyes up a rematch with WBC title holder Deontay Wilder.

But despite the Manchester-born traveller rising to the top, he doesn’t want his kids to follow him.

Fury is married to wife Paris and they have five children – Venezuela, nine, Prince John James, seven, Prince Tyson Luke, three, Valencia, one, and fivemonth-old Prince Adonia Amazia.

He said: “It’s going to be hard to follow me in what I’ve done. Usually

from CHRIS McKENNA in Las Vegas in life you tend to do what your father does, you sort of get into that.

“Boxing is a very hard sport and if you’re not talented, it’s pointless.

“You can train as hard as you want and never get anywhere.

“You have got to be talented, you have to get the right breaks, be in the right place at the right time.

“You’ve got to train hard, dedicate and sacrifice most of your life and then you still might not have the chance to make it.

“It is a tough thing to go through. I would like my kids to go and do something different. I have set a precedent by becoming heavyweight champion.

“I would like my children to go on and better that. It’s tough in sports, to be the best in your sport.

“I would love them to set a precedent and be the first Fury to graduate at university.”

Fury is also happy that the fighting lineage passed down from his bareknuckle boxing elders will end with him.

He added: “I believe it is the end of my family in bareknuckle boxing.

“I don’t think there is much use in it all now. Today it gets you in all sorts of bother. I want my kids to be out of trouble and healthy.”
