Picture this: Tyson Fury, the two-time heavyweight boxing champion known for his fierce punches, is now sharing screen time with his kids. Instead of blood, sweat, and tears, the canvas is now about love, care, and playtime. No more ring-side commentators, only the unedited chatter of family banter. This is not a figment of a fan’s imaginative fantasy, but the premise of the upcoming Netflix series, “At Home With The Furys.”
The thought of Fury switching his boxing gloves for aprons and school runs is enough to make even the calmest boxing enthusiast raise an eyebrow. Known for his often-controversial presence in the boxing world, Fury is now offering an intimate look into his life outside the boxing ring. As the series title suggests, this isn’t about Fury the boxer, but Fury the father. An unexpected shift, indeed! But as it turns out, the unexpected is something Tyson Fury has always been rather good at.

Fans weigh in on Tyson Fury’s surprising Netflix series
The announcement of Fury’s Netflix series has stirred up a whirlwind of reactions among fans. IFL TV’s Twitter post has become a hotbed of commentary, with varied responses reflecting the polarization that often surrounds Fury’s persona.
Josh Goodwin expressed disappointment in Fury’s new direction, reflecting on how he used to admire the former boxer. “Used to love @Tyson_Fury. Then it became too obvious to ignore how much of a liar and hypocrite he is,” Goodwin wrote. His frustration is a mirror to the segment of fans who feel let down by Fury’s divergence from his previously expressed disinterest in such endeavors.
Used to love @Tyson_Fury. Then it became to obvious to ignore how much of a liar and hypocrite he is. It’s a shame, he could’ve been the GOAT or close too it. This comes from a place of pure frustration that he gave in to all the things he said he had no interest in.
