Available for over a year

John Fury reveals he tried to ban Tyson from training at a local gym when he was younger. After boxing himself, Fury senior, 55, was "determined to keep his sons away" from the sport. Ahead of watching Tyson take on defending champion Wladimir Klitschko in their world heavyweight bout on Saturday, Tyson's father said: "I wasn't having my sons treated the way I was by the sport of boxing but I didn't even know he was training until I got a phone call from Wythenshawe Amateur Boxing Club and the trainer there told me, 'your lad is special, he has it all.'" Tyson's father believes it is his son's 'destiny' to beat Klitchsko on Saturday, adding, "There's never been anyone in the travelling community who's got this far, ever. It's his destiny, the world needs changing and he's the man to do it."
