Boxing Is Fantasy. The Real World Is Looking After A Family

Fury focused on Wilder but believes toughest test is out of the ring

Boxing is a fantasy world compared to the reality of family life, according to Tyson Fury.

And that contrast was brought into sharp focus for the British fight star when his daughter Athena had to spend 11 days in intensive care in Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital following her birth in August.

Athena (below, right) was ventilator, and for those 11 days Fury's world heavyweight title, fame and fortune meant nothing.

Thankfully Athena is thriving at home with his wife Paris (above) and their other five kids and Fury can focus on his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, in the early hours of Sunday morning, UK time.
