“Gypsy King” dad Fury reveals fight news with Mike Tyson
John Fury has revealed Mike Tyson agreed to fight after they met in Saudi Arabia.
John Fury (father of world heavyweight boxing superstar Tyson Fury) and the legendary Mike Tyson met in Saudi Arabia in February. Here, the 2 had a happy handshake and Tyson Fury’s dad said they had reached an agreement.

John told the Mirror: “I told him in the (unreleased) podcast me and you to talk to each other. You know what he said? “Agreed, I enjoyed that.” When he said that to me, I thought about the greatest game of my life.”
“If I can get in the ring, I’m willing to be punched or punched, if I’m carried out or die on a stretcher I’m satisfied. I named my son after him (Tyson). He was a great man, a martial artist with extraordinary strength. To me he’s the greatest heavyweight fighter,” John praised “The Steel Puncher.”
Tyson, 56, hasn’t played since facing Roy Jones Jr. in a fight on Nov. 11, 2020. The “steel puncher” wants to return to the ring, even ready to participate in WWE American wrestling. The 56-year-old boxer also wanted to “teach” Logan Paul when provoked by the young boxer.
Fighting a fighter half a year younger is obviously risky for Mike Tyson, and fighting John Fury, the 61-year-old former boxer, is a logical choice. Fury’s father retired in 1995 after going through 13 professional fights with 8 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw.
Currently, the information has only been revealed by John Fury’s side, the “Steel Puncher” has not yet confirmed this fight.
