This sluggish celebrity family show is like Keeping Up With the Kardashians – but set in Morecambe. You can’t blame Tyson for wanting to get back in the ring
He has never lost a professional bout; he dragged himself out of a deep mental and physical health crisis to defy his detractors and become world boxing champion; and his miraculous rise from the canvas against Deontay Wilder in 2018 is one of sport’s most thrilling moments of determination and fortitude. Now, At Home With the Furys sets Tyson Fury one more against-all-odds challenge in a life full of them: can he create a Kardashians-style TV documentary about his family life that is as sappingly dull as every other celebrity-reality puff piece? All hail the Gypsy King: he has done it.
Cameras arrive chez Tyson in June 2022, just three weeks after his comfortable title defence against Dillian Whyte, a fight the champ immediately promised would be his last. The 6ft 9in punching machine is now simply a husband to Paris, whom he married in 2008, and a dad to six young children.
