Fans of the boxing icon Tyson Fury are tuning in once again as he gets ready to take on Oleksandr Usyk tonight (December 21) for the second time in just seven months. With the excitement around the big fight, enthusiasts have been bingeing on Tyson's Netflix series .At Home With The Furys. However, viewers were left gobsmacked upon learning the Gypsy King’s real age. During the series' airing back in 2023, Twitter erupted with astonished reactions when fans learned Tyson is only 35 years old.

One shocked fan tweeted, "Tyson Fury is only 35? ! My goodness! I thought he was in his 40's! " Another one echoed the sentiment, astonished, "How's Tyson fury only 35? ! ". Disbelief kept pouring in with another tweet reading: "Tyson fury is 35? ? ? ? ? In what world lmao I thought he was 45+ #AtHomeWithTheFurys" while one viewer expressed their perplexity: "I'm really struggling with the fact Tyson fury is 35 years old only 3 years older than me but he looks like he could be my dad." Many followers had assumed the legendary boxer was "at least in his forties” showing that the revelation significantly shifted their perspective.

Yet, speaking with OK!, the undefeated heavyweight champion once remarked jovially: "I'm one crazy, bald fat man no-one can ever compete with." At Home With The Fury provided a close-up look into the life of Tyson, his wife Paris, aged 35, and their bustling household of then-six children: Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II, Valencia Amber, Prince Adonis Amaziah and Athena. Their seventh child, Prince Rico Paris was born in September last year, whom she introduced exclusively to OK!

Viewers also got a front-row seat to the Gypsy King's rollercoaster journey, including his supposed hang-up of gloves and dramatic return to the ring. Speaking with a touch of humour about his bustling household, Tyson laughed: "And then there's Paris, the six kids, the dogs and my dad, who is TV gold. Number seven is coming in September. It's a chaotic house, we just close the door and everyone's screaming and shouting and you really appreciate bedtime!".

Paris, who manages the busy home life in their £1.7 million mansion, also shared with OK!: "Our life is much more different from other people's and so they've always been very interested in what we're doing." She shared her love for a lively home, saying, "I wouldn't like it quiet, I wouldn't like the mundane. I always wanted a big family, lots of children and a full house. If it was any different I couldn't imagine the quiet."
