Sunak must help poorer kids escape knife crime

Grieving Tyson Fury demands action

- PATRICK HILL

BOXING superstar Tyson Fury is squaring off against the Government and demanding more cash to help kids break free from knife and gang culture.

The world heavyweight champ was dealt a huge blow when his cousin Rico Burton was stabbed to death outside a bar.

Now he wants action to save other families from the same heartbreak, which he believes is fuelled by gang culture in impoverished communities.

Tyson, 35, said: "One life lost affects up to 50 different people. Families distraught for ever. It's difficult to recover I know it is.

"It's never gone. It's always there in the back of your mind.
