Reports further suggest that the medical team was swift enough to revive Tyson Fury’s daughter. In a chat with BT Sport, John Fury shed light on the whole situation and expressed his emotions.

He said, “It’s been a bit of a white knuckle ride, we’ve had a lot to deal with…We thought at one stage we were going to lose her. But it’s all been good due to the professionalism of the doctors and the surgeons. Whoever works there is an amazing person and we’re so grateful to have them.”

On October 9, ‘The Gypsy King’ will defend his WBC heavyweight strap against Deontay Wilder in an epic trilogy. Although Tyson Fury was the superior man in the last fight, the current situation might favor ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder to some extent.
