John Fury has insured his "nuts" for £10million due to what he perceives to be the value of his sperm after fathering world heavyweight champion Tyson.
The former boxer has three sons who are professional fighters; Tyson, Tommy and Roman, and reckons that his testicles are worth an eight-figure insurance price. Tyson is his most famous son, having won every world heavyweight title belt there is and never lost a fight, while Tommy is also well-known as an 8-0 boxer and Love Island finalist.
And his other son Roman made a successful move into the boxing world last night after a solid youth rugby career. He defeated journeyman Ryan Hibbert in Doncaster as his father watched on, proud to see another fighter emerge in his famous family as their dynasty continues to grow.
“I’ve insured my nuts for £10million," Fury said in a recent interview. "Believe me there is good stuff that comes out of them. I’ve got world champion nuts in these trousers - breed some kings, I do. There are only champions coming out of these nuts - it’s been proven hasn’t it? All my sons can fight - not just Tyson.”
Speaking with Joe.co.uk, Fury expanded on it saying: "I've got a king of the world as a son, and Tommy is doing very, very well in life, him and Molly Mae. All of my sons are doing well, we're all healthy so what more can I ask for? If anyone wants a servicing I'll just do it for £50,000 a shot."
And his son has backed his claim, insisting that there is more value in his father's family jewels than his own. The Brit is one of the best boxers in the world, with some arguing that he is No.1 pound-for-pound, but says that despite having six children with wife Paris, he has yet to produce a world champion like his dad.

Asked by Behind The Gloves, the world champion responded: "Yeah, who told you? He insured them because that sperm produced an heavyweight champion of the world and it's very, very valuable. If anything happens to him, even at his age, he could still extract a few champions out of those, so we'll see.
"Could you imagine this guy puts a load of those little swimmers in a little test tube and freezes them and sells them. In like 100 years, you're like 'this is the half brother of the Gypsy King, heavyweight champion of the world'? This potentially could be our next champion, bang. It's worth a fortune!
"See me, I've become heavyweight champion, but I've never produced a champion. Only time will tell, but if you look at racehorses, the sire, the father and the mother, if the father horse produces a champion then guess what? All the other horses come to him and they have got chances of producing champions too. That's how it works, but enough about that!"
