Boxing legend Tyson Fury has revealed how his daughter's near death inspired him before one of his greatest victories.
Last year, baby Athena was born prematurely while the Gypsy King was preparing for his highly-anticipated match against Deontay Wilder. In his new book, Gloves Off, Tyson recalls the emotional incident surrounding his daughter's birth and how it inspired him to beat Wilder with an eleventh-round knockout.
At the beginning of August 2021, Athena was born prematurely at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary - two months before the fight was due to take take place. Initially, it seemed that everything went perfectly with the birth and Tyson was even able to hold his daughter for the first time, the Sun reports.
