John Fury had 13 professional fights as a boxer and footage shows brutal KO against man who challenged...

Gypsy John Fury fought in hundreds of bare-knuckle bouts and 13 licensed professional contests and – even though the last two ended in brutal fashion – doesn't appear to be done fighting yet.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, such an all-or-nothing approach did not translate seamlessly to the regulated world of professional boxing.

It was the first stoppage defeat of his pro career and he’s since explained his frustration with how professional boxing works. He might never have had the skills to go to the top, but by the end of 1998 Fury did own a 6-1 record, having won six straight .However, he claims that winning went against him as promoters only wanted journeymen happy to lose to touted young prospects and so the calls stopped coming.

Yet he did step in the ring with his son, many years ago, when Tyson Fury was just 14. His son's first amateur coach, Jimmy Egan, called John up and told him he really needed to come down and see his son train as he was seeing something special. Tyson’s uncle, Peter Fury, was his trainer that night but John has been a vocal presence in his son’s camp. He was highly critical of Tyson’s training after his tougher-than-expected win overYet while John is loud in trumpeting the boxing talents of Tyson – and his younger son, Love Island hunk Tommy – he’s not the kind of father to proclaim his own greatness above his son.
