The roller-coaster life and career of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury.
In a career that’s encompassed extreme highs and lows, controversy, mental illness and addiction, British boxer Tyson Fury has certainly lived up to his name.
The self-styled ‘Gypsy King’ rose to the top of his sport in 2015, aged 27, beating the apparently invincible Wladimir Klitschko to become world heavyweight champion.
His life then fell apart, in and out of the ring but, miraculously, he staged a dramatic comeback.
Now what’s next for this most unpredictable of sporting characters?
