Tyson Fury's heartbreaking phone call with Paris after wife feared their daughter had died

Tyson Fury has opened up on the heart-wrenching moment he feared daughter Athena had died after a phone call from wife Paris.

Fury and wife Paris welcomed their sixth child in August last year but she was put on ventilators early and was dead for as long as three minutes before being revived by miracle workers at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. The world heavyweight champion admits 'everything was perfect' in the initial moments after Athena's birth before a midwife took her from his arms to give her emergency treatment

"If Athena’s heart rate couldn’t be steadied she would probably die from a cardiac arrest. I’d been reduced to nothing. My baby’s life was hanging in the balance and my name and what I did for a living wasn’t going to change a thing," he writes in his new book, Gloves Off, with extracts reported in the Sun.
