Born into a family of Irish traveller heritage, Big John Fury descends from a long line of bare-knuckle fighters, including King of the Gypsies. So it's no surprise that he too found himself fighting outside the ring at a young age. From his early years in Manchester, John learned to box by practising bare-knuckle fighting within the travelling community, before graduating into the sport professionally. The ring has never been far from his sights, and John has played a crucial role in coaching and being a cornerman for his two-time British heavyweight champion son, Tyson Fury. 'When Fury Takes Over' is the real story behind the legend. From memories of growing up as a traveller to stories of bare-knuckle fighting to win a Sherpa van, life lessons from his time in prison and finding balance as a fighter and a family man.
